a Queer Duck.

In going his rounds reporter some
times encounters an odd individual,
To say the least. AT the Rock Island
yesterday noon we found u man and
IA woman with their four boys and two
girls. We sldled up TO the gentleman
asking his name and IL they were GO
ing away. He promptly replied that
that was his own business and while
he admitted that he wasn't going away
he positively refused To give his name
saying he had come To the station to
see Judge Green whom we pointed out
when he reached the station, We In
quired what papers he took and he
said not any; that he used to take the
State Register and IL had nothing in IL
but medical advertisements, SO he
stopped II and didn't take any. In
reply To our query as To which of the
candidates for governor would win,
he said he hadn't yet heard of any
candidates. We were Just sure then
that he must be democrat and look
ed around for our neighbor across the
street TO whom we might turn him over
for treatment, But to- our chagrin he
broke In by saying but ! always go
To the polls and vote the straight re-
publican ticket" AS he said he lives
Ia southeast Greeley, we respectfully
refer the case To the philosopher of
that township who corresponds for
this paper.

Burglary at Ross.

On Saturday night the hardware and
implement store of j. Shingledecker
at Ross was entered and pillaged by
some parties unknown to the pro-
prietor, though it is probable the act
was done by some one who had person
al knowledge or specifce information
of the conditions and surroundings.
The store was entered through win
dow by raising the sash. The knob
of the safe was turned slightly the com
bination was not on, so the work of
opening 1t was an easy Job. A draw
er was then taken out and carried a
way, contents with its Of about $50. 90
in cash and ~ 900 in notes. Sheriff
Northup was called and an effort
made to find clew but so far as we
know nothing OF interest has yet de-
veloped. 1t is hoped that the party
will see that the notes which would be
of no value to him will be returned to
the owner aud thereby save him more
or less trouble and loss in their
collection.

A Sunday Fire.

On Sunday afternoon about six
o clock the quiet OF beautiful day
was suddenly disturbed by the sharp
ring OF the fire bell because of a blaze
in the residence of Emil Bilharz. BY
the time the hose had been laid and
the water was ready for use, Ed II.
Bilharz and Fred Vermilya had forced
their way into the kitchen and found
that certain waste left in the sink by
painters who had oiled the floor, had
taken fire. This was quickly thrown
out and made the use of water wholly
unnecessary. The alarm was given
by Mrs. Ward and Mrs. Mory who
discovered it by the smell of the
smoke. AS it was located in marble
sink the probabilities are that ii would
have burned out without any damage,
il it had not been discovered.
