A telegram received Wednesday, by
Judge Dunbar, conveyed the sad in
telligence of the death of Rev. c. L.
Diven at St. Paul, after a weeks i'll
ness. The death of this talented man
has caused throb of sorrow through
out our community, where he was
known from seven years of steadfast
and we'll directed labor. Mr.. D. was
pastor of the Congregational church
while here. About three years ago he
transferred his field OF labor to Chi
cago, and embraced the Unitarian
faith as more in accord with his ma.
ture judgment. He was soon offered
a charge in st. Paul, which he &C
cepted and has since filled. Mr.. d.
leaves wife and daughter.
Mrs. ]. E. Fenton, widow who
lives on Eighth street, between Pear
and Plum, was robbed of her purse and
small sum of money-about $l9-
Wednesday evening about dusk. The
lady had come down town to
cash her husbands pension warrant
and make some small purchases,
which objects she had accomplished
and was returning home, accompanied
by her boy, when, while near the
Eighth street tunnel, two men sudden
ly came up behind them. One man
grabbed her arm and forced from her
hand small sack containing the
money. They then turned and ran
away. Mrs. f. notified the police, Civ
ing description of her assailants, but
so far they have failed to secure the
robbers. The victim had doubtless
been watched, and the fact that she
had money in the shopping bag was
evidently we'll known to them.
