Must Have Been Hungry.

On Saturday night a gang of sneak
thieves succeeded in carrying out a well
laid Plan for the purpose of procuring
a goodly supply of eatables, and as a
result the cellars of several East Fourth
street residences show plentiful lack
of canned fruits and other valuable
stores that had been laid away for
winter use, to say nothing of the
inconvenience and disappointment
caused by having to go without the
usual extras that had been provided for
the Sunday dinner.
The base of operations began at the
Odd Fellows block, and extended to
the residence of Jas. Welsh on Spruce
street.
The thieves gained an entrance to
the Odd Fellows Hall and after ran
sacking that, tried to force their way
into Prof. Stauffer's cellar, but found
the fastnings too secure and were
obliged to go away empty handed.
They next visited the Episcopal Rec
tory and helped themselves to roast of
lamb and other provisions which they
found there and then called to inspect
the brick residence of J. F. Parsons,
but finding nothing that they could
carry away, continued their search It'll
the cellar of the house occupied by
Mr.. Fred Julian was reached, where a
most successful raid was accomplished.
Besides taking some chickens and ham
belonging to Miss Cormya, they helped
themselves to a large amount of iellies
and canned fruits belonging to Mr.
Julian. Jas. Welsh's place was evi-
IDENTIFY the last on the list and here the
robbers satisfied their ambition by
eating some pies and sugar, and empty
ing a few pans of milk, they left Mr.
Welsh an old butcher knife as a
souvenir of their midnight call We
have also learned that before leaving
town the miscreants visited the resi-
dence of Mrs. Robinson at the rear Of
the Eagle Hotel and relieved her eel
lar of six cans of fruit, and by very
singular coincidence these same six
cans were found on top of a box car at
Shipper station the next morning, by
Mrs. Robinson's son William, who is
conductor on ''the hill" Mr.. Robin
son thought himself the richer by
making the above find, but upon his
arrival home was appraised, by his
wife, that the fruit belonged to his
mother
Our citizens should prepare for these
midnight marauders by loading up
their shot guns and giving the watch
dog an extra long chain.

Back from Porto Rico.

Harry Alvan Hall, captain of Com
pany II, Sixteenth Regiment, has re-
turned from Porto Rico, where he has
been assisting General Miles to win
victories for the American flag. His
mission to the United States at this
time is to deliver to the President the
royal ensign of Spain, captured at the
battle of Coamo on August 9th, and he
will probably remain here for some
time. The gallant captain has been
recommended for promotion in re-
cognition of his distinguished services
at Coamo.
In recent interview Captain Hall
told some interesting things about the
Porto Rican campaign. He said:
''This is, believe, the only standard
captured in actual battle, and we had
bit of tussle for it. From the time
we landed until we reached Coamo we
had practically nothing to do in the
way of fighting We simply marched
in at one side of the towns and the
Spaniards marched out of the other
side. But when we came to Coamo we
found it fortified and partially en-
trenched
''Here also the Spaniards made
tions were on the eastern side of the
place. So leaving the artillery to open
the attack on that side my regiment
proceeded to execute q flank move
ment with the object of getting it on
the west side. In order to do this we
had to march up very steep noun
tain pass-it was not even the pretense
of road-and we had to march the
whole distance, about five miles, in
Indian file.
''Just as we got into position we heard
our artillery open fire on the east side
of the place, and we began to get dis
appointed, for we thought we should
be too late, but we were not.
ga detachment of the Spaniards had
come out on the western side and were
lying ambushed behind a stone wall,
with a thick head of cactus in front of
it, and no sooner did we reach their
hiding place than they poured volley
right into our midst.
81 don't know how it happened but
somehow, though they seemed good
enough shots, they had the range all
right and the bullets whistled in among
us, yet only eight of our men were
! wounded.
eve didn't allow that sort of thing
/ to go on without very complete retail
alton. We had to fire through the
/ cactus hedge, where the Spaniards
were hidden, but whenever a man
showed any portion of his body that
/ man was instantly killed. The officers
must have been brave fellows.
"They exposed themselves to our
fire repeatedly and unhesitatingly We
killed three. The commandant was
wonderfully brave. Three times he
rode in front of his men giving them
orders and cheering them on When
at last he was killed we found eight
bullets in his body. Immediately after
his death the Spaniards surrendered
They lost seventy-five men That
little fight was short, but sharp. It
only lasted about one hour.
