McHenry,s Cattle Injured.

The McEIenry herd of cattle was
awarded first premium at the state
fair last week, over all others. This,
notwithstanding the fact that some
human devil, with no sense of mercy
in his heart attempted to destroy the
beauty of several of the cattle by pour
ing nitric acid on them. 1t is said
the fine $4,000 COW imported from
Scotland recently WAS severely dam
aged by the acid, which ate into the
flesh and will mar her black beauty
for life. A prize heifer was also in
jured in the same way. Veterinarian
Gibson and an assistant treated the
ANNALS as soon as the injury was dis
covered and explained to the judges the
cause of the trouble, when the latter
overlooked the defect and awarded the
prizes. Such an attempt to injure a
competitor is the worst one ever heard
of III the state, and it is hoped the
guilty parties can be apprehended and
punished. -Denlson Bulletin.

the brief interval of two seconds de-
cided that in his particular case moth

Regardless of the fact that the play
was made on Erie street about S:l5
yesterday evening when the streets
were crowded with the after supper
shoppers the deed was unnoticed by q

ing the store when he noticed man
coming out He asked the man If he
had been waited on and replying in
the affirmative he left the store and
started to walk up the street. Just as
the man was passing him Mr.. Schnurr
noticed his coat had an unnatural ap.
pearance, appearing as though some
large bundle was secreted under it.
Following the stranger Mr.. Schnurr

crossing between his establishment

suspected burglar and requested him
to divulge the contents Of the bundle
Without further ado the stranger
pulled revolver and putting the
muzzle to Mr., Schnurrs head COM
manded him to stand still. Under
such conditions person usually
acquieses with such request. The
stranger, retaining the bundle which
undoubtedly contained goods stolen
from the store, backed away keeping
Mr.. Schnurr covered with the gun un
til he reached safe distance when he
turned and ran up Fourth street dis
appearing in the alley. The clerk in
charge of the store during MIR
Schnurr's absence states two men
came into the store short time be-
fore the episode and asked to see some
clothing. A few minutes later the
third party came in and while the
clerk was busy with the two he passed
to the section of the store where the
trousers and coats are shelved and
after standing there a short time os-
tensibly looking at the goods passed
out doors, just as Mr. Schnurr was en-
tering. The officers have good de-

are they will be captured. Three men
