Henry Bardeen has secured territorial
rights on a new tangled" burglar
alarm of simple, though ingenious, con-
trivance. 1t can be placed on either a
door or window. There is spring at
tachment which fires a % cal. blank
cartridge. When a window or door is
opened, after the spring has been set,
the spring is suddenly released and the
cartridge is fired off. The flash and re-
port of the cartridge will brighten away
any burglar and awaken the occupants
of a house. They are equally effective
on barns, chicken coops, etc.

VIM. j. Kregel, who made a re-assess-
ment of the town of Cleveland, returned
home Saturday evening. He had been
attending a meeting of the special board
of review during the week and com
pleted his work before that body Satur-
day, but must return this week to wind
up his business. The assessment made
by Mr.. Kregel was allowed to stand
with very few exceptions. In some in
stances, particularly on real estate, it
was raised. His assessment was prac-
tically the same as that made by the
regular assessor, Chris Franzen. While
the figures show it to be about double
Mr.. Franzen's, the fact is that Mr.. Fran
zen assessed property on a basis of fifty
per cent. of valuation, his roll being
accompanied by sworn statement to
that effect, and Mr.. Kregel was, under
the circumstances, forced to make an
assessment on full valuation.
