trict convention met at the G. A. r.
hall in this city on the 9th and was a
complete success. The weather be-
ing so unfavorable all were greatly
surprised at the large attendance,
nearly every corps being well repre-
scented. Ritualistic work was well
exemplitied, and a pleasant inter-
change of thoughts followed. Tom
Cox Corps desires to express thanks
to the proprietor of the Lancaster

the nice manner in which they were
entertained at dinner; to ladies of NJ.

The cowardly murder of John
Bobb and wife near Freeport over a
year ago is still vivid in the memory
Of people in this portion of the state.
The aged couple were killed for the
wealth supposed to be secreted in the
house, but which turned out to be
but few paltry dollars. Suspicious
at the time Of the occurrence were
directed towards Denton Foulkes, a
young man of the neigh borhood, and
a warrant was issued for his arrest
on the charge. He disappeared be-
fore being apprehended, however,
and reward OF Sl.20 offered by the
county and state failed to produce
him. Time went on and the reward
was Withdrawn. A clue came to the
Illinois authorities last week TO the
effect that a nan answering Foulkes'
description was employed with a
threshing crew near Pipestone, Mimi,
and deputy sheriff Of Freeport went
out there in quest of the fugitive.
The bird had flown upon arrival of
the officer, but he was traced to
Grand Forks. \. D., where capture
was effected Saturday, and the officers
are confident it is the much wanted
Foulkes.
