occurred the Page Peck wedding. After
the festivities were over and all had re-
tired in the Peck residence at 2057 Central

noise, and going TO her window saw a man
who appeared to be endeavoring TO gain
an entrance to the front door. Known o
that all the valuable wedding presents
were in the house, she conclude that the
burglar must be after them. She called 10
him and he at once took fight.

Slick Swtndler.

A tail man who gave his name
as Will Hall at some places and other
names elsewhere, has been swindling
people around the city. His game is to
go 20 a residence at night and say that
he Just came down the river with a
nat load Of wood, that it was too late
to sell 1t, and would then make an
engagement to deliver the wood next
day at a low price and before going
would ask that SO cents be advanced to
him, as he was hungry and wanted to
get something to eat. Quite a number
or citizens bit at his game but they
never got the wood and V saw the
man. People should be on their guard
against the rascal.
