pons to the same purpose. Jennie was
finally driven to flight. and as she sped
through the streets, followed by her
ASSISTANTS. some one fired shot which
struck Clara Parker. She fell scream
ing and the others deSisted from the

Harry Kearn was robbed several weeks
ago, the police have been on the look
out for the thief. but have failed to
come up with him. Mr.. liearns thinks

his clothing left their old ones behind,
and in one of the pockets was an ad-
dress of house in Richmond.
Mr. kearn wrote to the Chief of Po-
lice In that city and sent the address
Soon afterwards it was learned that a
man by that name lived there. and that
he had been arrested. and from the de-
scriptfon given of the clothes It is
thought that he had some of them on.
The negro is known as crook in Rich
mond. Mr. Kearn will go on and see
IL he can identify his clothes. sc.

cnpied public lands, although the
amount is limited to the stumpage
value of $50, and to cut timber In ex-
cess of this amount application to the
