notes were in his bank book in his in
side coat pocket Saturday night. He
knows they were there because on re-

asleep, but has no clue as to who enter

At the time no one was sleeping in this
house but himself and wife, Mr.. Rog-

finally checked. 1t was a narrow es-
cape from death, and number of
lookers-on expected to see the Judge

hand last Saturday six one dollar gold
pieces which his grand mother, Mrs.
Minerva McClatchey, deceased, gave
to the then six living children of her
son, Mr.. DE-. McClatchey, Sr. The
scarcity of one dollar gold pieces makes
them very valuable These are highly
priced by the grand children, not SO

Some one went to the home of Mrs.

She called Prof. J. r. Seals, and he
came down and opened the door, but
the intruder had left. He evidently
meant mischief, thinking there was no
masculine present. f~'~S-i
