Bold kidnapping.

Our community was suddenly
thrown into state Ct excitement last
Thursday forenoon by the announce
ment that Gerald Hager had been
stolen by two men and was being rap
idly driven FROM town.
At about ] o'clock a. M, a two
horse spring wagon, containing two
men, drove up near VIM. Zadow's res
idence on Atlas HILL, just in front of
which two little boys were playing.
The team was stopped and while be-
ing turned around one of the men
jumped from the wagon and spoke t.
the boys. Ascertaining which was
Gerald Hagar, he took hold of him
and pla led him in the wagon and in a
moment they we're Off Mrs. Zadow
saw the occurrence from her yard.
and immediatele notified Mrs. Hager
and her mother. Mrs. McGarry, living
but two doors north. Sheriff HUI
was informed, and at once deput;zed
several citizens and they started. in
pursuit.
We learn that deputies Moore and
Chas. HUI, who were ON horseback,
succeeded in getting ahead Of the
kidnappers near the Newark mill, and
laid In wait for them at the old stone
cabin near the road known as the
@DewdIop Inn" Several shots were
exchanged between the officers and
the men IN the wagon, but no one was
hurt and no arrest accomplished.
The deputies named are still pursu-
ing. but the others have returned 70

1t seems to oe we'll established now
that the kidnapperS are DR.. Bagar
and his cousin, Thomas Hagar. Up to
the time Of going to press yesterday

The following method is recommend
ed for bronzing objects of copper, for
example, medals: Dissolve 2 parts of
verdigris ~(acetate of copper and l part
of sal ammoniac in vinegar. Boil the
solution, skim it and dilute with water
until it no longer Possesses q feebly
metallic smell nor produces a whitish
precipitate Oh the addition Of water.
Then let it boil again in an earthen-
ware or porcelain vessel and transfer it
while boiling into another vessel con
tanning the perfectly clean medals, ETC.,
and place the whole on the fire. AS
EoO as the medals assume the required
color remove them and wash carefully
IN clean water. The objects must not
be left too long in the acid bath over
the fire, because the layer of oxide
would become too thick and would
easily scale off the surface, whereas, if
the operation is properly conducted. the
coating adheres so firmly that it cannot
bs separated even by scraping.
OF course, it is only after a certain
number of trials and with experience
that the exact moment can be ascer-
tanned for removing the objects from
the bath. 1t is very necessary that the
bath be not too concentrated, as the SUI
perficial oxide becomes proportionately
less adherent. Moreover, a whitish pow
der IS deposited on the medal, which
turns green on exposure to the air and
spoils the appearance Of the bronzing.
