Eldon Aug. 1S.-The store of Charles

is list of the articles missed by Mr..
Rierce when he opened the store this
morning:
Fifty suits of clothes.
Twenty-Five pairs of trousers.
Three bolts of dress goods patterns.
Several pairs Of shoes.
The theft was discovered by Mr.
Bierce, the proprietor of the establish
ment early in the morning when he
opened the store. He found everything
in disorder on the inside Clothing was
thrown in piles on the floor, the thieves
evidently having picked the best goods
in the house. Boxes were thrown from
the shelves and their contents rifled
1t was found that the thieves gained an
entrance thru a window in the cellar,
which was found to be broken. 1t is
evident that a wagon was found to

amount was taken. Sheriff Cremer

campers which have been seen in the
lately of perpetrating the
deed.
Sheriff Cremer is negotiating for the

Monday afternoon, and the verdict
rendered by the jury was in effect
that the deceased came to his death
from unknown causes while being
raised from the 200 foot level to the
surface at the Golconda mine.
The deceased was 80 years old and
unmarried. He was a Canadian by
birth, but has brother living at
