brute who owns the dogs.
LAST week raids were made during the
night time upon the chicken coops and
calye-pens OF Michael Fitzgerald of
Meme and Dan Shannahan of Liberty
The calves were butchered on the grounds
and the hers were decapitated. The
thieves were very deliberate in the matter
and fed their horses in the ward while
doing the hutchering, The oats left on
the ground furnished satisfactory evil
dence and was one ot the clues which led
to their discovery.
The wagon track vas traced the fol-
lowing morning and it was found it
ROAD was reached. Some parties farther
on heard the noise Of Il passing wagon
early III the morning Other traces were
fOand showing that the thieves had gone
as far as Towards Grove. Constable
Walter Pellet was in the neighborhood
and at once proceeded to follow up the
CIutS' Ilt IldCl ISdIu sOultlIIIS VI the
two parties who were later arrested and
proceeded at once to their place, having
a search warrant as authority. He found
the goods IN their house at Sheboygan
besides many other articles which showed
that they are systematic narauders.
There we're guns, bags, satchels and
various other plumber.
The parties are Fred Tiedmann, who
formerly lived in Liberty, and VIM.
Goetsch. they were brought to Mani
towoc by Constable Pellet, plead guilty
before Justice Crate and each was
sentenced TO two years at Waupun. They
were unable TO secure bonds for an APP
peal.
Similar depredations have been com
mitted in the neIghborhood during the
last few months and probably by the
Same parties. There are now several
warrants only for their arrest should
they be released from the present
sentence.

SHORTAGE ALLEGED.
A. a. Berry Shoe Co. Investigating Charles
o. Bickford's Accounts.

An investigation is being made of the
accounts of Mr.. Charles o. Biekford,
raveling sale sman for the A. II. Berry
Shoe Company. 1t was stated at the
office of the company Saturday that IT.
regularities had been found in Mr..
Bickford's accounts which have not been
explained.
Mr.. BicSford had authority to collect
payments of certain of his customers.
1t is claimed that he has for some time
failed TO turn in all the funds so re-
ceived by him. He would pocket the
amount paid on certain bill and when
payment on later bill of goods was
received, he would apply the whole or a
part of it to the first account.
In this way the company's customers
were always a little further behind in
their settlements, as shown by the COM
pany's books, than they should have
been.
1t is said that the irregularity was de
tected last week. when a partial settle
ment Was being made with one of the
retail shoe stores at Westbrook. There
was a discrepancy discovered between
the amount which the firm stated it had
paid to Mr.. Biokford and the amount
received by the company. The
report from all of the firms from
whom Mr.. Bickford had authority
to collect money has not been re-
ceived. but all but one or two have been
heard from, so that the company can
approximate the amount very closely.
Mr.. Bickford has been we'll known in
Portland as shoe sales man for dozen
years or more.
Mr.. Biokford was seen by his employers
a week ago Wednesday. He is said to
have been in town a week ago Friday.
1t is not stated by the firm whether or
not they will proceed against Mr.. Bick-
ford and while the firm say that Mr..
Bickford's accounts are short, they have
not given out the amount.

:. Perhaps you would not think So. but

Perhaps you would not think SO, but
very large proportion of diseases in
New York comes from carelessness about
catching cold," says DR.. Cyrus Edison.
1t Is such a simple thing and so COM
mon that very few people, unless it ia a
case OF pneumonia, pay any attention to
a cold. There are great many cases OF
catarrh and consumption which have
their origin in this neglect of the sim
plest precaution of every day life. The
most sensible advice is, when you have
cold, get rid of it as soon as possible. u
DR.. Edison does not toll you how to cure
d cold but we will Take Chamberlain Is
Cough Remedy. 1t will relieve the lungs,
aid expectoration, open the seoretions and
soon effect permanent cure. 20 and sc
