In this issue of the REGISTER will be
foln 4oI los
days st. Louis Star, relative to the
visit of the army officers to Arcadia
Valley last Saturday, for the purpose
Of investigating the proposed site of
the rife range, and determining wheth-
er the location is healthy and suita-
BILE one. From the account given in
the Star, the result promises to be
very satisfactory to the Valley. The
board of inquiry in their brief stay
here saw sufficient to thoroughly co.,
vince them of the utter Righteousness
of the charge that the Valley was not
healthy. The report of the board will
probably be made public before long
and there is little or no question but
that it will recomme the purchase
of the rife range. The soldier boys
will be fixture in the Valley.
Ed. Harrison, about twenty-five
years of age, who lives in the western
part of the county, was in town Mon
day getting Christmas supplies. Ed.
must have been little short on cash
for he tried to secure pair of panta-
looms without paying therefor. About
eight o'clock in the evening he walked
in the Bonanza and asked to have a
pair of pants wrapped up, which he
drew from under his coat. He was
asked where he got them and his an
swers not being satisfactory, Capt.
Byers sent note to Mr.. Jacob Lopez,
who was soon on ehe scene and de-
clared the pants had been taken from
their store. Harrison had been up
here just a shorl@time before. He
| igorously denied Stealing the pants,
sying he had bought them but couldn't
I'll who he got them from. That
nyht he had lodgins at the county's
e0ense and next daDreceived sem
Aece of thirty days in Jail.
On would think that the city of the
dead Would be free from the ravages of
those deEaved individuals who hesi-
tate not Inappropriate the property OF
others' "nAout consideration or per-
mission. Slch, it seems is not the
case, howeSr. for a party came to the
ONCE this WEEK with the Information
that tom stone has recently been
stolen from bne of the graves in the
cemetery. The party giving the infor-
nation askshs to say that the offend
ers WnoeVeI they may be will certain
~ De appTehended, and unless the
stone Is lm9 ediately replaced, prose
cutlon Will certainly follow. The mis-
creants whf committed the theft prob
ably though their crime would not be
discovered put if they are wise will now
make lmmeeiate reparatiou. This may
be regardedAs ludicrous. The idea oil
steallng tupbstone. Notwithstanding
the hallowed and sacred surroundings,
might provoke humor. But the deed
was desPica fie one and the offenders
if apprehenSed. should be severely
punished.
