II. Madden has opened a lunch
counter, billiard and pool room in the
Pollard building and is going to run a
first-class amusement hall. Everything
is neat and new and Mr. Madden invites
the public to come and pass leisure
hour with him.
The romance of Coon Hollow, pre-
sented at Royal hall Wednesday evening
of last week was we'll patronized and the
production met the favor of the audi
ence. The scenery used was of special
nature and the company merited the
patronage accorded them.

visiting relatives in and about Edgerton

pensable in his line Of business.

bridge with Edgerton. In this they are
wrong, for intellectual improvement and
keen desire to keep abreast the times
by some of the Cambridge people de-
mand that such line be put i'll opera
ton without further delay. The Cam
bridge News is an ably conducted paper
and makes a strenuous effort to furnish
it's readers with up-tod date matter but
without direct communication with
Edgerton it must of necessity be a few
lengths behind the moving procession.
In it's last issue an advertisement is
this: Nov for your Christmas goods.

the Cambridge editor to "helloo Edger-
tom over the line he most certainly
would have learned long before this that
Santa Clause had cleaned out his entire
stock at special sale prices and was now
business manager of a toy shop in the
mythical land where merchants announce
not their wares through the columns of

When the alleged robbers of the
Milton bank were brought into court at
GAINESVILLE last Friday there was not
sufficient evidence to hold them and all
four were discharged. But no sooner
was it done than United States Marshal
for the Western District Charles Lewis

Madison, and United States Postoffice
Inspector G.. T. Gould, of Chicago,
clapped handouts on Franklin, Flynn
and Howe. Tiffin was not wanted and
he had no sooner realized the fact than
he took his coat and bolted for the door.
He did not stop to bid his partners good
bye but got away from the officers as

were then hustled out and escorted to
the office of United States Court Com
missioner L. F. Patten. Judge Patten
had no knowledge of what was wanted
and for short space of time he did not
know but what he was going to be
robbed. Here the prisoners were charg
ed with having robbed the postoffice at
DeKalb, ILL.,, on the night of November
7th, 1899. They gave their names in
Justice Patterns court as William Howe,
John johnson and Thomas Terrell.
Their examination was set for Wednes-
day, February 2Sth, at 9 o'clock and in
default of bail in the sum of $1,000 each
they will be boarded at the expense of
the United States Of America, the plain
tiff in the present action.
