ERWIN HELD FOR ARSON.

An Old Employe of the Farnham
 Farms Arrested on a Serious
 Charge.
 John Erwin was held in $2,000 bonds on Saturday afternoon to answer to the charge of setting fire to A. N. Farm hams barn on Friday night. Erwin was arrested on the charge of drunk enness before nocn on Saturday, but the investigation into the cause of the big blaze at the Farnham farms the evening before caused City Attorney Matthewman to prefer the more serious charge of arson against the man.
 Erwin has been employed at the Farnham farms for many years. Just previous to his arrest he has had charge of the poultry. On Friday it is said that he asked his employer to ad- vance him some money so that he could take his wife home. Mr Farn- ham did not comply with the request as he had good reason to doubt Erwin whose wife has been employed for some time as cook in boarding house in the city Erwin also had some words with q fellow workman over team on Fri day.
 Erwin is said to have gone to Erlbe the cook, on Friday evening a few min utes before the fire. and got some
 matches saying at the time that he wished to light a lantern. The officers claim to know that instead of lighting the lantern Erwin went straight to the barns. After while he came out and went to his room in William Farn- hams house. and about eight minutes later the fire broke out and was discov- cred by Ambrose Beck and John Pierce who had seen the suspect enter tht barn.

OFFICIAL PAPER OF ALLEN COUNTY.
BOLD BURGLARS.
Prof Picken's House Entered and Val
uabIes Taken to the Amount of About
Forty DoIIars-An Attempt to
rob j. W. Deleplaine's House.

When Prof. w. S. Picken got up
last Sunday morning and went down
stairs he found the front door and a
window in the front room wide open.
A little investigation disclosed the
fact that two overcoats, some solid
silver spoons and few other things,
to the total value of not less than $40
were missing. Evidently a burglar
had entered the house and helped
himself.
While a school teacher does not ac-
cumulate property fast enough to
have it to waste on burglars, yet Mr..
and Mrs. Picken do not seriously re-
greet the loss of any of the articles
taken except the spoons. These had
been made from some old silver plate
that had been in the family a long
time, and therefore had value from
association far beyond their intrinsic
worth. Of course there is no clue to
the criminal.
There was an attempt at another
burglary on Friday evening. Some
one forced an entrance into ]. w.
Deieplaine's house during the ab
sence of the family, but fortunately
Mr.. Deleplaine returned to the house
and the thief was frightened away
before he secured any plumber.
We want to give notice right now
that we have shot gun and revolt
yer and a Big Dog at our house, and
if any misguided son of Belial at
tempts to burglarize our house he
will be welcome to anything he can
find!

POST AND CORPS INSTALLATION.

Last Saturday night McCOOk Post
and the Relief Corps held a special
joint meeting in the G.. A. r. hall for
the purpose of installing officers for
the present year. The ceremonies were
conducted by I. s. Slower, who came
down from Topeka for that purpose,
and it goes without saying that the
work was done in a satisfactory man
ner. Timetables were then spread and
ample justice done to one of the best
suppers ever furnished in our town.
After supper The Grand Army of the
Republic was proposed as a toast,
and Capt. T. S. Slower responded to it
in very pleasing and appropriate
address. In the absence of Chas. F.
Scott, who was to have responded to
the toast, The Sons of Veterans. but
was unavoidably detained, Col. J.
B. Goshorn was called upon and
made speech characterized by his
usual wit, pathos, elOquence and cog
ency. Capt. II. A. Ewing responded
happily in behalf of the Woman's
Relief Corps and his address closed
the formal program. The remainder
of the evening was spent socially and
