THE FAMILY
Bold Robbery at Swanton
Saturday Morning.
GOT MONEY AND WATCH.
A. B. Nea's Family Did Not Wake
as Soon as Usual Saturday Morn
and Discovered the
Robbery.
GOT MONEY AND WATCH.

Swanton, Aug. 14.-One of the most
daring robberies that has taken place
in swanton for years occurred Friday
night at the home Of A. B. Nef, who
lives in the upper portion Of double
tenement house on Canada street. The
robbers reahced an upper story win
dow by means Of ladder, and cutting
the screen open with a jaek-knife, forced
up the window and entered the main
sleeping room at the very front Of the
house. There were evidently several
persons connected with the robbery as
footprints Of different sizes were numer-
Gus in the sand.
The robbers secured ladder at the
rear Of the house and placed the foot
of it on the sidewalk in front. II is
believed they administered chloroforn
TO every one in the house, as 10 one
awoke as early as usual Mrs. Nef IS
not a sound sleeper, but the only thing
She heard Friday night was her little
girl, about four years old say Mamma,
i don't like that man.. Mrs. Nef,
thinking the little girl was dreaming.
paid no attention ito her and went to
sleep Some one was evidently in the
room when this occurred. The robbers
went through the bureaus and clothing,
securing $50 from the pockets Of Mr..
Neff and going TO another room took a
valuable gold watch from Mr.. Me-
Nally, who is visiting there. This they
found in a small writing desk in the
room.
The family usually awakens about 1
o'clock, bnt Nh. Nef was the first to
awake Saturday morning after 5. He
thought it peculiar that he was 50 late,
and tried to awaken his wife, but could
not do 50. At this lie became alarmed.
and aroused the rest Of the family with
some diliculty. After working over
Mrs Neff for more shan two hours, she
was revived.
The deed was probably committed By
some one familiar with the house and
aware Of the fact that it contained
money. No clue to the robbers has been
discovered as yet and the family sus-
poets no one.

NOTES OF THE GAME.

He was A mole, sure.
We have got good lead, now let's
keep it.
Il was the kind Of hitting that you
like to see.
Fourteen hits, with total Of nine
teen bases, is batting some.
Reidy is clean ball player, and he
made good all right. His hitting ability
Is just what we want.
Eaton kept his glove covered with dirt
to Withstand Smiths spit bali, and there
was miniature sand storm every time
the ball struck the init.
Reidy's throw from right field to
third was one Of the prettiest plays
made on the grounds. He would have
had the runner if Dorman had held the
bali.

Chicago, August 14.-H. Chandler
Egan successfully defended his title Of
national golf champion in the 18th an
nuaI tourney at the Chicago golf links
at Wheaton Saturday, defeating D. Z.
Sawyer Of Wheaton by six up and five
to play in the final.
Sawyer often was brilliant in his play
against the champion, but lie was weak
at critical times on the putting green.
Egan was steady at all times with his
iron club, often getting discouraging lies
by his terrific tee shots in the morning
round In the afternoon he avoided some
Of this trouble by using a cleek at the
narrow places in the course.
Egan practically won the match on
the putting green. He invariably was
down in the regulations two puts when
he got to the green. Sawyer missed
several opportunities to get holes sim
ply by failing on puts.

full of the followers of the N~azarene.
William the Conqueror is said to have
slaughtered 100000 men, women and

Fourth of July Christmnsea.

In other days the Catholic and
Episcopal churches celebrated Christ
mas much as Americans now OBJ
serve the glorious Fourth. Roman
candles. skyrockets. firecrackers and II
general rejoicing and noisy hilarity
marked the day sacred to the birth OF
the Prince of Peace. The idea was
that the occasion was a joyful one and
men should vociferously attest their
happiness. Echoes of these old cele-
brations are still heard in portions of
the south which were settled by the
cavaliers. Under the reformation,
however, and especially under Puri-
tanism, this form of observing Christ
mas was done away with. In the ear
ly days of New England Christmas
was scarcely observed at all, and it is
only in comparatively recent years
that the present custom of giving and
feasting was revived in sections where
the Puritan had held sway.
