Thursday morning between two and
three O'Clock the Hotel Stoeckle was
entered by thieves and several cases of
the best whiskey stored in the cellar
were stolen and taken away. 1t is sup
posed that the thieves had a wagon in
waiting for the amount of goods stolen
was more than an ordinary company
of thieves could get away with in carry
ing by hand. Entrance was effected to
the cellar by prying open a window.
The report that there was riot and
that a negro was shot was untrue.
Proprietor Reuben Warren knew moth
ing of the theft until the next morning.
The matter was then put into the
hands of the local police but no clue
was obtained as to their whereabouts or
in which direction they went. Mr..
Warren says that the several brands of
whisky stolen will figure loss of fully
$50. Early the evening before two
strange men came to the bar-room and
hung around all the evening. Later
they asked if they might sit in the
chairs on the front porch until the mid
night train arrived which favor Mr.. War
rem granted. About i.30 o'clock the pro
prietor was awakened by a strange
noise but going to the window he heard
nothing unusual except some walking
on the front porch. Supposing it tC
be the men who had asked the privileg,
of waiting for the midnight train, b,
thought nothing of it but went back t.
bed. What connection the strang
men had with the robbery Mr.. Warrel
does not know.

Considerable wheat is being moved
by W. G.. Hill the grain broker of this

their wheat to market before this, have

to get their wheat threshed. AS a con-
sequence much wheat is still i'll the
field. In the meantime fruit is moving
in more or less quantities from this
point. The height of the season will

KENTON.
Continued Wet Weather Source Of Anxious
Concern With Farmers and Fruit Growers.
Local Happenings and Personal Mention.

Special Correspondence to the Times
KENToN, July 24:-The general talk
among farmers and fruit growerslsw what
is to be the outcome of so much rainy
weather. This vicinity seems to have
had more than its share of thunder
storms and soaking rains. The re-
suit has been that threshing has been
greatly retarded and much wheat is
still in the field. Fruit is also showing
a prematured condition by the wet
weather and is rotting and dropping
from the trees. 1t is feared that'a con-
tinuation of the damp, mucky weather
will reduce the yield considerably and
play havoc with the farmers prospects.
