BURGLAR VISITS.
ROBERTSYILLB.
The Willy Fellow Carried Off
$40 and a Watch.
ENTRANCE THROUGH CELLAR
The Door Wasn't Locked Friday Night
and Store Keeper Reese Is Short of
Some Funds Reported
Here.

A burglar visited two Robertsville
residences Friday night and succeeded
in ransacking the places without his
presence being detected until Satur-
day morning. A description of the man
has been secured but there is no clue
to his whereabouts. The local police
have been called upon to assist In the
location of the fellow or securing some
trace Of him.
When Norman Reese, a general store
keeper at Robertsville, and his family
awoke Saturday morning, and entered
the kitchen of the residence, they dis
covered a pile of papers and the
trousers and vest usually worn by
Reese, lying upon the floor and papers
Of a valuable nature were scattered
about the room. An investigation was
made in and the sum of $40, or possibly
a little more money, which had been
in pocketbook belonging to Reese,
were found missing, also silverena
watch which was in the vest Friday
night. A check for s12 which was in the
pocketbook, was not taken, and there
also remained behind some papers
which might have brought some con-
sideratior in money If negotiated. but
the thief was willy enough not to be
caught that way. It was also learned
that entrance to the house had been
gained through a cellar door from the
outside, which probably was unlocked.
lust how the fellow entered Mr.. Reese's
bed room without awakening him and
removing his clothing from off chair
near the bed, Is not quite understood
by Mr.. Reese.
When Joseph Adolf, another villager,
awoke Saturday morning, he also dis
covered evidence Of some one having
visited his house during the night.
His trousers were carried outside by
the burglar but nothing more valuable
than pocket Knife was taken. No
money was missing, as there was none
in the trousers, and the burglar didnt
search any further.

WILLAMEND PETITION.
Attorneys Granted Leave In the
Dick-Martin Case---MCurdy
Verdict to Stand.

After disposing Of the Shock case FRI
day morning Judge Taylor took up the
case of Elizabeth Dick against William
H. Martin which was tried and the ver-
dict set aside by the court this term.
Mr.. Werntz for the girl came into court
and asked for permission to file an
amended petition. He said he wanted
to fix the petition SO that they would
be able to show that the girl was weak
minded and that she did not have will
power enough to resist the assault Of
Martin. Mr.. Sterling was present for
Martin and he objected to having the
petition changed. The court. however,
granted the plaintiff the privilege Of
amending the pleadings to suit the re-
quest. The defense excepted to the
ruling.
Judge Taylor also handed down his
decision in the motion for new trial
in the case Of McCurdy against the
Pennsylvania railroad company. He
overruled the motion and decided that
the verdict would have to stand.

Canton, Ohio, July IA, 1900.
Editor News-Democrat Who ever
heard of Lexington, Ohio, and yet there
on the map 1t Is, seven miles below
Mansfield on the B. & o. Named after
the first battle of the revolution and
right well has 1t been named, too, for
the spirit that frst found expression
there on April 10, 1775, has never been
wanting in Lexington, Ohio, and her
sons have been at the front in every
war that has tested the strength Of
the nation.
Although this part Of Ohio was not
settled by the whites until 25 years af-
ter the revolution ended, yet three rev.
olutlonary soldiers, wandering west,
found home there and there ended
their days. An old slab in one corner
of the cemetery, with the inscription,
Amariah Watson, a soldier of the rev.
olution," tells 1t all and nearby lie the
remains of his comrades in that mem
oralbe struggle-Samuel Colwell and
Thomas McIntire.
The wipds Of many winters have
howled their requiems over the last
resting places Of those three revolu-
tionary heroes, who formed the nucleus
for those who were to follow.
Twenty survivors OF the war of 1912
are also buried there, one Of whom.
VIM. Blair, was one Of the six men who,
during the battle on Lake Erie, got into
small boat with Commodore Perry
and rowed him from the shattered
Lawrence" to the Niagara" from
which ship Perry received the surren-
der Of the entire British squadron. For
this he received q medal from the u. s.
government.
Following these came four soldiers
from the Mexican war who are also
buried there.
During the civil war Lexington again
did her full duty, sending nearly all the
men she had, and today there are 50
veterans Of the rebellion buried there,
while "a Of her sons are in unknown
graves In the south, and on last Deco
ration day seventeen survivors were
| still In line.
Last year also was buried there s.
Coleman, a soldier OF the Spanish
American war, member Of Co. M, OF
the Eighth o. v. l., who had returned
from Cuba and died In the vigor and
strength Of young manhood, making
soldiers from all the wars In which the
country has been engaged.
Such Is the record OF Lexington, q
town today of about 600 Inhabitants
Perhaps no other town in the state OF
country can show such record In pro-
portion to Its size. Right well has II
maintained the title Of Lexington.
But It has also other interest. John

+ was reading in the GRAPHIC the
account of the democratic convention
meeting in Kansas City-how the man
On the platform would come up to the
front like he wanted to say something
and all the men in the hall would com
mence yelling at the top of their lungs
and never stop till they had got to
the bottom of them, and there they ID
be with their mouths open but their
voices wore out SO that the editor said
you could not hear sound. And then
at the republican convention at Phila-
delphia Mr.. Hanna, a big fat man that
couldn't yell, he'd wave a stick with
some long grass tied to it, SO that it
looked like homemade broom that
had stampeded, and open his mouth
so the rest would think he was yelling
he wanted the crowd to veil long
enough SO that every body would think
there was lots of enthusiasm for Me-
Kinley.
l thought to myself as l read these
accounts, 81 reckon these men must
have been educated in public schools.
Yours dejectedly,

Lawn Tennis.

The match game between the Larned
and kinsley Tennis Clubs was played
on the Kinsley court Tuesday after
noon, and was most interesting af-
tair. -
The rain which fell on the preseed.
ing night put the court in excellent
condition and the weather was all that
could be desired. At two O'Clock q
large crowd of spectators had assem-
bled and the game was called. Sea-
man and Clark matched against ohm
son and Whitney in the first round
and, although it was evident from the
start that the Kinsley team was out
classed, they played we'll and made
the Larned team work for every point.
The first set resulted in game score
of + to o, and the second 8 to 6, both
in favor of Larned. In the single
round Draut played against Vernon.
The men were we'll matched and an in
tensely exciting contest ensued. Draut
excelled n serving. but Vernon made
returns with an almost unerring accu-
racy. Vernon won the first set, game
score to 4, Draut the second, game
score to 8 and Vernon the third,
game score, & to 3.
Donnell and Hine against Row and
Vernon were the players in the second
round of doubles The games we're
close and many fine plays we're
made on both sides. The Larned boys.
however. seemed to have the faculty
of finding the weak points in their op-
pOnents playing and toward the close
began to gain steadily. Game scores,
first set, . to 5 in favor of Kinsley.
second set, 6 to in favor of Larned,
third set & to 3 in favor of Larned.
Arrangements will be made for an
other game to be played in Larned in
a few weeks.
Considering the time the Kinsley
club has been organized and in train
ing it made an excellent showing. The
Larned club has been organized sew
eral years and has won In match
games before, while some members of
the Kinsley club have been playing
