YOUNG THIEVES TAKEN
Ionia County Sheriff Makes an Impor-
tant Capture.
HAD BOAT LOAD OF PLUMBER
On Grand Rlver-Stores In Ionla and
Neighboring Towns Raided During
Past Few Nishts-Merchants Badly
Frightened. -

Ionia. Mich, Sept 2S.-Sherih
Searles and his deputies made an ar
rest last night that will cause the resi-
dents of Ionia and the towns around
in the county to rest easier than they
have for some weeks. Al Conklin and
Al Wilson, two 19-year-oid boys, were
captured in a boat on the Grand river
1T Saranac with part OF the plumber
from stores here and at Portland
Lyons and Muir. They were brought
TO the county Jail here and locked up.
For several weeks thieves, believed
to be Conklin and Wilson, have been
working the various towns in Ionia
county, stealing small sums OF money,
clothing and other articles. All efforts
to capture them were for a time vain,
IS they appeared to be thoroughly ac-
Quainted with the places In which
their work was done and never left
any clues. The officers Of the whole
county were kept on the lookout, and
merchants were almost afraid to leave
their stores alone at night.
Monday night they entered the depot
at Portland, where they broke open
the slot machine and secured a small
amount of change. They then stole
hand-car, which they rode to Lyons,
From there they went to Muir and
broke into a clothing store; then stole
toat and floated down the Grand
river. They got as far as Saranac,
where they were nabbed by the Off
GERS.
Conklin's father is a G. A. r. man
and lives in Ionia, while Wilson claims
to hail from Saginaw. Both say they
are employees of the Lansing Wheel
barrow works. Their boat was well
stocked with provisions and plumber Of
all sorts, and it is thought they had
planned long trip.

THE FOOLS VERDICT.
The Wise Judgment That Was Delfv-
cred by Simple Seyny Jean.

cred by simple Seyny Jean.
Here is a story which has gone the
rounds Of three and half centuries. 1t
has been credited TO many writer's, but
was first told by Rabelais:
In Paris at roast meat cookery Of
the Petit Chastelet q certain hungry
porter was eating his bread and at the
same time shifting the reek and steam
from a fat goose which was being
turned on spit before a great fire,
thereby gaining savory accompaniment
to his dry ration.
He ate very slowly that he might en-
joy the reeiling, smoking SAVIOR as long
as possible, and when his penny loaf
had been consumed he attempted to de-
part But the cook was not Of that
mind. The master Of the shop laid
hold upon him by the gorget, demand
ing pay for the smoke and steam OF
the roast goose. The porter demurred
The cook claimed that portion Of the
meal had clearly been made from the
SAVIOR shifted up and swallowed.
1t Glanced while the discussion was
going on hat Seyny Jean, the fool,
entered the shop, and the matter was
referred to him.
"Wilt thou submit to the judgment
of this good citizenw asked the cook.
"Aye, by the blood Of the goose, that
WILL" answered the porter.
The story was then told and the case
argued. The fool listened attentively,
and in the end he asked the porter to
let him take two pieces Of his money.
The poor man drew from his fob two
pieces Of copper. Seyny Jean took
them and jingled them awhile between
his two hands and then gave them
back whence hehad received them. Then
to the cook he said: 1.-THE porter did
smell Of thy goose, and thou hast heard
the Jingle Of his money. Thou hast
thy goose intact, he hath his money, as
seemeth to me right and proper. And
now this court doth decree further
that every one go about his own busi-
ness lest we have too many fools
among u.s.

Elected the Preacher.

Dansville, Mich, Sept. 2S.-The
Baptist society of this place found it
necessary to use force in getting rid
Of their pastor, Rev. James A. Thoms,
who has been with them for a year.
He had been asked to resign before his
time had expired, which he did, but
would not vacate the parsonage. He
entered the pulpit Of the church and
attempted to read paper to prove
that he is still pastor. The village
marshal and several citizens elected
him from the church and landed him
in the lookup. At the earnest solicita-
ton Of his wife he was released and
allowed to go home.

be learned, there were no witnesses
