A. A. Richardson, Garfield.
Circuit Clerk, r. S. Skillman, stepped
down and out of his Office yesterday and
was succeeded by his Republican oppon-
ent elect, Mr.. W. s. Ball. Mr.. Skill
mans time did not expire until the first
Of January, but Mr.. Ball was anxious to
get into the office and familiarizs him
self with the busn' 81, 80 Mr. Skillman
resigned. Mr.. Skilman has rented an
Office over James Gardner's store, where
he can be found until his business is
wound up.
Dan Haynes who lives near Garfield,
lost 81, $50 in gold about ten days ego
The money was all in $40 gold pieces, ex-
cept one $40. piece. Mr.. Haynes had
kept the money at his house all the time
and felt that it would be safer there than
anywhere else. He never entrusted
any OF his money with the banks. al
though We don't suppose il was because
he mistrusted them In any way. He
has always had his own notions about
these things and doubtless felt his abiI-
ity to take care OF his own funds better
than any one else. Mr.. Haynes made
money and boarded it away long before
We had banks in this country, and these
gold coins have doubtless bsen the hard
earnings of many years. Mr.. Haynes is
beyond seventy, oud the loss will %
hard with him. On November the 25th,
last. the family concluded they would 20
to church, and though something un-
usual, no one was left about the premises
Mr.. Haynes took his gold on this occa-
sion and went out and buried it near
the barn. He felt OF course that it was
all secure and didn't 90 back to look af-
ter it tor several days. We believe he
said it was on December 3rd when he
went to look after 1t. But he found that
his treasure had flown. Mr.. Haynes
was much disturbed, bewldered, con-
fused. The accommodations Of many
years gone. He came TO town and laid
the matter before his old friend, b F
Beard. Now, Mr.. b ard is the prrsi-
dent of the Bank OF Hardinsburg, and he |
dosen't believe in handling the precious |
metal in that way. So it wasn't much |
uncle Daniel could get from
him. However Mr.. Beard sympathized
with him in his loss, and suggested that
some thief hal watched him when he
buried the gold and went and got 1t.
This is no doubt the solution OF the mat
.er and the thief had doubtless been
the movements OF that gold
or sometime. Detective Wills was up
rom Cloverport last week and went out
md looked over the surroundings, but
We didn't learn that he caught any clue
o the robbery. Mr.. Haynes is still la
nentirg his i'll luck, as would the ma
ority of ua. under like circumstance
