cial to The News: Mont Wheeler OF
this village has developed a new in

At 10 cents a dozen, Mr.. Wheeler
has collected for the little legs of
muscle no less than 5000 for his in
dustry and zeal in pursuing the elu-
sive greenbacks. A thousand peoples
stomachs have been filled with dainty
luncheons on these delicious jumpers
from Warnerville.
Mr.. Wheeler catches his frogs from

BOLDLY STOLE GOOD GRIP
GEORGE J. o'BRlEN, COMMERCIAL
MAN, THE VICTIM.
GRIP FOUND BADLY BATTERED

As the Result Of a Practical Joke and
Almost Under the Commercial Mans
Eyes, His Big Sample Case Was
Taken Late Saturday Night.
A bold grip theft occurred at 10
o'clock Saturday night in Norfolk
when large leather bag belonging to
George J. O'Brien, commercial trav.
eler for Hibbard.Spencer, Bartlett G.
Co., OF Chicago, was nabbed almost
before the eyes of the owner, and
carried successfully away. Mr.
O'Brien missed the grip a moment lat
er, started in search of the bag and
found 1t behind barn in an alley,
where 1t had been taken by the thief
and battered to pieces in order to gain
entrance to the inside. A number Of
valuable letters from his house and
customers were taken out but two
huge books were untouched. The let
ters contained no money. The theft
was the result Of practical Joke.
Mr.. O'Brien had stopped in at the
Humphrey furnishing store and was
joined there by J. ]. SAKE, another
commercial traveller, both of them be-
ing seated to talk over the week. Mr..
O'Brien at that time dropped his big,
heavy grip just inside the main en-
trance door Of the store. A moment
later Fritz Frohloff came by the store,
saw the grip and the owner and, as
Mr.. O'Brien sells goods in the Degner
hardware store where Mr. Frohloff
works, Mr.. Frohloff, in jolly mood,
jokingly picked up the grip and start
ed away with it. Mr.. O'Brien glanced
through the window at his friend and
motioned to Frohloff to go on with the
grip and carry it to the Oxnard, where
he was stopping Mr.. Frohloff carried
the grip for little way and tnen re-
turned 1t, dropping it just outside the
door, with the remark that it was too
heavy.
No more was thought of the grip
until, shortly afterward, Mr.. O'Brien
started to leave. He looked for his
grip just outside the door and found
it missing. He Immediately started
to hunt it, went around into the alley
behind the store and there, alongside
a barn, he stumbled upon the case in
the dark. 1t was especially weighty
because of two huge books that it con-
tanned.
An examination showed that the
grip, in being opened, had been badly
used, the metal portion being all
pounded and battered.
1t is believed that the thief is known
as but one person was seen passing
the window between the time Frohloff
dropped the grip and the time when
Mr.. O'Bren left An arrest may fol-
low.
The thief was unquestiOuably led to
the belief that there was money in
the letters, because of the fact that
Mr.. SAKE had, while the thief was
passing, probably opened couple of
letters that contained money. The
grip could easily have been taken for
a personal bag instead of a hardware
salesman's sample case.

Railroad Gave to City.

In connection with the fight over
the vacating OF Philip avenue the fact
has been brought out that the Philip
avenue crossing as well as every
crossing of the Northwestern track
to the south of 1t with the exception
OF Madison avenue. originally be-
longed to the railroad company and
was given to the city. Some twenty
odd years ago the right of way, on
which the tracks now run, was bought
by the Elkhorn railroad company. At
Madison avenue was the only crossing
open to travel. The city lay entirely
to the east of the tracks. Then The
Heights and other additions to the
west were plated and made part of
the municipality. The railroad gave
the city every street crossing as the
streets were opened and received
nothing from the city in return for
the lost ground. Now they are ask
ing for the return of the Philip avenue
crossing, which was but one of doz.
en- given originally to the city with
no recompense.
