Burglars visited different places in
the county and vicinity the past two
weeks and judging from reports they
reaped rich harvest. On Friday
night, Sept. Is, about 1874 was stolen
out of the safe at the Kerkhoven mill.
The same night the Sunburg store
was broken into. There were two
safes, one containing the books of
the firm, the other the cash, and by
some mistake the thieves blew open
the one first mentioned and conse-
quently found nothing but papers.
No merchandise was taken so the
nightly visitors got nothing but exer-
else Out Of the affair. On Tues lay
night of last week the hardware store
of p. w. Bresnahan and the general
store OF FredricksOn & Wass at De-
Graft were burglarized by two men.
Goods and money amounting to $65
Was taken but about half of this was
recovered together with one of the
burglars, who was captured. Spicer
was the next victim Sunday night
Of last week burglars secured en-
trance to the hardware store OF
McManus Brothers and carried away
with them raZOrs and knives aggre-
eating to the value of $3.50. 1t is
further reported that on the same
night attempts at housebreaking were
made at New London and Norway
Lake. Whether all of these burglar
les were committed by one or more
persons remains to be found out.
Most likely there will be no further
developments.
Frank E. Smith of the Raymond
News gives vent to his indignation
regarding the "Pikers" at our last
street fair in a somewhat lengthy
article in his latest issue. While we
admit that there we're some who went
beyond the bounds of propriety in
their eagerness to have good time
yet Bro. Smith exaggerates things in
a very pessimistic manner. Most of
the "Pikers' were there for good
time and judging by the laughter and
jolly looking faces we don't believe
they "joined the band" for the purpose
of intlicting injury or punishment
upon one another. Then the view
taken by Bro. Parsons of the Green
Lake Breeze seems much more op-
timistic and reasonable.
He says: give been to good
many fairs, big an little, but never
had so much fun watchin' people make
darn fools OF themselves. I couldn't
see the humor of it at first, and when
somebody tickled me in the face with
a feather an swatted me in the back
of the neck with lot of saw dust,
jest started out to find a policeman
an was goin' to have the Teller arrest
ed p. d. q. know who he was an ex-
pected to have him behind the bars ia
short order, but when I found that
policeman changed my mind. Say, 1
wouldn't have changed places with
that policeman for 81 day an free
tickets to everything on the pike. I
had little sawdust down my neck,
but he had it all over an was gettin'
swatted from every side. I made up
my mind that things was too lively
for me to get acquainted with the
policeman, so mosied # an sneaked
into one of the booths, where could
watch the crowd without being too
conspicuous myself.'
