Fred jerks Of New Haven, whom

and eagerly discusses every phase OF the
war with his friends. jerks owns three
parrots, Joe, Mac and Polly, about

it sounds like q lot of boys in dispute.
Since the wal began the parrots have
absorbed much about the battles, the
fleets. the armies and the commanders.
Mao and Polly are as good patriots as
their master; but, sad to say. Joe is a
rank Spaniard. He constantly yells,

Arrested For Robbery and Assault.

Friday afternoon last Sheriff W.
Perry Lee went down to Frankville
armed with warrant for the arrest
of Nelson Wilt, young man of that
neighborhood charged with stealing
grain from a mill operator named
Hough and with assault with intent
to kill John s. Murphy, a resident of
District No. 1. Wilt was in a stable
when he saw the sheriff approaching
and Immediately he made an attempt
to elude the officer by running and
fording Crabtree creek which is few
rods from the stable. The sheriff
followed his man and commanded
him to halt. firing two or three shots
into the air to brighten him. This
had the effect to increase Willis speed.
He again took to the water and Just
as he entered the stream Sheriff Lee
pounced upon his back and held him,
Both the officer and prisoner were
drenched to the skin. Wilt was allow
ed to change his clothing and the
sheriff arrived here on Saturday
morning about two o'clock, having
Wilt in charge and he was placed in
Jail where he will remain until Satur-
day when preliminary hearing will
be given him.
Tuesday another warrant was
placed in the sheriff's hands for exc
cution which charged Truman Wilt,
brother of Nelson's, with having in
his possession the stolen grain. Prior
to the swearing out of this writ, how
ever, search warrant had been
issued to Constable Glass, of District
No. 1, by Justice Sweet, of Swanton,
which directed that officer to search
the premises of Wilt. In attempting
to make the search the officer was de-
who, ran himoff with anaxe.
When the sheriff arrived on the scene
