Shots Fired--Two Suspects
Arrested.
Deserter From Brooklyn Navy
Yard Being Sought in
This County.

Excitement was at fever heat in the
village of Albion. eight miles north of
this city, early this morning, as the re-
suit of the discovery of two men at
work in the general store of John d.
E'raley. The discovery of the burglary
was opportune, and as the result moth
ing was secured. Several shots were
fired by party of men called upon for
assistance, and it is thought possibly
one of the burglars was wounded.
Burney Fraley. son of John d. Fra
ley, in returning home from this city at
about $50 o'clock, heard the sound of
voices in his fathers store. knowing
something to be wrong he Immediately
drove home, secured d shotgun and the
assistance of number of friends, and
returned to the store. Guards We're
frances to the store, but hardly soon
enough to accomplish the capture of
the two men inside. who realized that
they had been surprised at their work
and We're willing to take desperate
chances to escape.
No sooner had one of the party got
stationed at point where he could get
a view of the rear window than one of
the burglars jumped thru the window.
The man on guard fired just as the out
line of the mans form was recognizable
at the window. Another of the citi-
zens' party at the same time at
to enter the store by
the front window. The other
man on the inside managed to reach
the front window at the same time

started in pursuit, tracing the foot
prints of the man 10 point four miles
north of town, where they were lost
1t the Daniel Wilson home. The
ground about the rear window was eX-
,mined carefully after daylight and
marks of blood We're plainly visible,
that perhaps the man was
lit. 1t is possible, of course. that ho

broke thru the window.

Cowan, principal of the high school al
that place. has decided to remain in
Clinton and therefore will not accept
the SUPPLEMENTARY of the schools
here, to succeed Mr.. F.. e. Willard, re-
signed.
The school board met Sunday ir
conference with Mr.. MCGOWAN, to
whom the superintendency was offered
The offer was held open until noon to-
day, with the result that Mr.. MCGOWAN
decides not to accept
Mr.. MCGOWAN gives as his reasoD
for not wishing the superintendent
simply his love for high school work
and the contact with high school pu-
pils. He thinks that with his duties as
a superintendent he would be more
or less thrown out of touch with tho
work he is most interested in. The
Clinton board does not wish to mart
with him, as he has made an excel
lent record, and offered him an in
crease In salary TO remain.
lhere are half dozen or so APP
piicants for the position in the city
locking over the situation. None of
them, however, had been invited by
the board to visit the city with a view

The annual memorial sermon to the
Grand Army and allied orders was de-
livered Sunday morning at the Pres
byterian church by Rev. f. w. Rus
sell. There was "a large attendance
of veterans both from the city post
and the Soldiers Home. and members
of the w. r. c. and Sons of Veterans
also attended. Rev Russell's topic was
The Price of Liberty" and his sermon
was very appropriate but was some
what of departure from memorial
addresses. He referred to the sacri-
fees of the soldiers of all the wars
in this country to establish and main
tain a republic and the free institutions
of the country. From Il study of q
history of this government there is
sure to be an army ready on demand
to come to its rescue in the hour of
need. Referring to the tendencies of
the people of the old world to strength
en- and maintain monarchies, Rev
Russell said there was need for greater
effort and better citizenship in pro-
noting the success of our own repub-
lie, as an example TO the people of the
struggling republics and the monarch
les as well.

He should be given good deal of
credit for his part in the contest. The
visitors hatted the ball when and where

A NEW AMPHITHEATER.
Secretary Finkie Rapidly Completing
Commodious Grand Stand at the
DRIVING Park.

Secretary !. S. Finkle. of the Finkle
Driving Park, is bringing to a rapid
completion the new amphitheater,
which substitutes grand stand that
has done service for over thirty years
at the old fair grounds" The new
amphitheater is nearly twice the size
of the old one, and will have seating
capacity of 1900, as against the for
mer's 500. 1t will be 10 feet in length
thirty feet deep and twenty feet in
height. The lowest seat will be eight
feet from the level OF the track, and the
front row of seats tWnty feet back
from where the old amphitheater stood
This has been done in order to allow the
dust from the track to settle before
reaching the grand stand Between
the amphitheater and the track the,
ground will be sodded, so that people
tired of sitting, may walk back and
forth If tired, and at the same time they
Will not interfere with the view of
those seated. The old amphitheater on
the park grounds has been in use for
about thirty-tive years. 1t was con
siderably longer than the new one will
be, having been 224x20. but only had
eight rows of seats. While the new
one will be shorter it will be so much
deeper that an extra large seating ca
pacity will be gained, and will give
spectators better view of the track.
Mr.. Finkle is making several other
improvements TO his property, includ-
ing a new arch gateway at the main
entrance. The fences are being re-
newed and painted. The track is also
to be improved in time for the summer
race meeting on July IS, 16 and II.
