have carried off $40 worth in our vest
pocket.-Nickerson Argosy.

From reports that come to the sheriff's
office here the people Of Harvey county
who attended their fair last week, were
not spared by the crooks who attended
their homes while they were gone

this manner, but no one seems to have
the descriptions of the men who got the
things,
Many people IRON Stafford and ad-
joining counties we're to be seen on the
streets on show day, who came in on ex-

day for Hutchinson merchants, espec-
rally those who advertise.

a hit, and hard one, The company
seems to be known as one of the best on
the road.
