Ticket Agent of "a Chicago IL" Road Is
Robbed.
Chicago July 23,-Thieves got in their
work early in the morning Thursday
on Ticket Agent A. j. Stiles Of the
Crawford avenue station Of the Metro
poltan Il" road Stiles was counting
some tickets when the men entered. As
they approached Stiles all Of them pro-
duced revolvers ard commanded him
to remain quiet and give them all the
money he had. Stiles threw up his
hands and told the men to take what
they were able to find. One Of the rob-
bers then entered the office and opening
drawer secured $3.50. After pursuing
an unsuccessful search for more booty
they departed. Stiles reported the rob
berry to the Lawndale police. He said
that when the men advanced upon him
they held their hands over their faces
to obscure their features and on ac-
count of this he was unable to give an
accurate description of them.

see the marshal. who, so the manager
states, said he did not believe the boy,
and appeared not toieel concerned about
the matter. Aiterward, Officer Murphy,
who was passing the store, was called in
and, as the manager states, did not ap-
pear TO be at all interested and his con-
duct, for an officer, appeared so strange
that the manager remarked in most
places be had been in the officers would
consider it their duty to hunt up such
matters, which they did not appear to do
here, and he would. when he saw Pingree,
tell him the manner strangers who in
tended, il they had a chance, to make
their homes here were treated, where
upon Officer Murphy made some insult.
ing remark and stated that il appeared
to be the general opinion that the rob-
berry had been committed by some of the
people connected with the store and that
the whole affair had been done for noto-
riety and to gain some tree advertising.
This latter insinuation was more than
the manager could stand, and according
ly has asked the News to relate how he
has been treated.
In fairness TO both the officer and the
it looks as il the village offic-
ais should enquire into this matter. The
dea OF a man taking his own property in
order to obtain free advertising might
work il the clothing had been hid instead of
BEING scattered around the location and
likely TO be lost or spoiled, such would
lot be free advertising by any means.
{ certainly is the duty OF the officers to
work on any likely clue such as trying
o find the man described by the boy and
they refused to do so they should give
ONE reason for theirconduct, but il they
i'd not SO refuse in fairness to them that
lct should be known. As it is. the man.
ger evidently thinks they have added
suit to bis loss.

weather the sun came out this noon and
the big wrestling tournament at Laur-
ium opened under suspicious circum-
stan es. The men commenced to weigh in

An Investigation Necessarv

The manager OF the Boston clothing
store appears to have but little faith in
the detective ability OF the marshal or his
officers, and he also thinks that if they
were given lesson or two in poiteness
it might have good effect upon them.
The manager states that about three
weeks ago the bar of the sash in the win
dow on the side OF their old place OF bust
ness, in the Fromholtz building, was cut
out and an entrance gained, when two or
three suits were taken. The marshal was
informed OF the fact promised to look up
the thief, but so far nothing further has
been heard of the matter.
Last Sunday morning, the manager,
having to write some letters, went 10 the
store with his clerk who, upon entering
it. exclaimed, Someone has been here"
and upon examination found that about
forty pieces OF clothing, mostly odd
pieces, had been taken. There was no
sign OF the place having been broken into
and it is presumed, therefore, that the

way OF key to the store. Twenty.one
OF the pieces and pair OF shoes were
afterwards found in the field behind the
store, four among the log timbers on the
location, two coats were found else
where, and boy, who was out hunting
for rabbits, came across some clothes in
field and while examining them a man
came along and said he would take some

to light-colored coat and vest; the boy
returned the others found to the store |
All thus far unaccounted for are light |

Louis Turk Instantly
Killed in the HeCla
Last Night
BY a Fall Of Hanging Rock.
Leg and Arm Were Broken
The Inquest.

A fatal mining accident occurred al
the Hecla branch OF the Calumet and
Hecla mine last evening which resulted
in the death OF trammer named Louis
Turk. The accident happened at the
seth level north Of No. Z shaft, about
twenty minutes before 8 o'clock. The
story OF the unfortunate affair as told
by Mike Pukek, one OF the partners OF
the dead man. on the witness stand this
morning was about as follows:
The party of four tram ers, who were
employed as car fillers, were on the light
shift and worked with the timbermen
while on the opposite shift, were fillil e
cars in the stope. They noticed some
rock which appeared to be loose and
liable to fall. There was large crack
and they attempted TO get it down by
pinching it with their bars. but could not
make it huge. The Turk proposed get
ting some powder and did so, blasting
down enough to fill three cars. 1t came
down in large pieces. They then pro-
ceeded to fill the cars and had filled all
except the last car when some more rock |
which was fifteen feet or more back of the |
place where the rock had been blasted |
came down and struck Turk on the head,
killing him instantly.
At the time the rock came down the
other three men we're a few feet in front
OF Turk and they all considered him IN
safe place. He was close to the drift.
The rock that came down and caused his
death was vein rock and fell in three
pieces, the largest of which measured ~
feet on one side and 8 on the other.
Turks skull was fractured and his leg
and arm were broken.

We are informed by the news
from England that the National
prosperity for the past year ex-
ceeded that of the previous year.
This ought to be very gratifying to
our single gold standard patriots.
What an outrage it would have
been had the anarchists forced a
bi-metallic standard upon the
United States and put check to
this growing prosperity of Eng
land. How proud we shall all feel
when we are over in mother coun-
try attending the Queens Jubilee
to realize that we have contributed
SO much to National prosperity.
With what favor the British Queen
should look upon her dutiful sub
jects in the United States Wetzel
