broke into McCarver's store and made
way with what pleased them, notwith-
standing the proprietor lay asleep up
stairs. Entrance was gained by break
ing out window-pane and then rails
ing the sash. The north side was first
tried, but as the window sash was
nailed down, recourse was had to one
of the southern windows with greater
success. Some property but no mon
ey was taken. No clue to the burglars.
Mr.. c. c. Russell of st. Louis favors
US with an excellent article which ap-
pears upon the first page of this weeks
issue of the REGISTER. Mr.. Russell
recently passed several days in the
Valley at the home of his father, Judge
L. P. Russell. He gave the REGISTER
a pleasant call on his rounds among
his old friends. He was so unfortu-
nate as to sprain his ankle some time
ago which rendered him unfit for work,
so he employed a portion of his en-
forced leisure in the Valley.
