open a trunk owned by Ben Decker,
an Edgeley barber, and took therefrom
three, suits and an evercoat. He wrap
ped them up, addressed the bundle to
himself and expressed it to Hastings,
Neb. He was suspected of the theft,
arrested and lodged in the county jail.
In company with three other prisoners
he readily made his escape from the
nasty, good-fOr- nothing dump, since
when he has been working for a farm

miles north of Englevale. As a matter

Coal is fossil peat. The peat boys
of today might become coal beds in
some future geological age. Prof. Po-
tonic of Berlin says there is strict
parallelism between the different kinds
of peat and coal When the remains
of plants collect under the terrestrial
conditions an ordinary peat bog is
formed. This corresponds with

under water, an organic slime is form

Doinq Penance.


The members OF the smart set in
Washington who treated Chauncey
Depew's young bride so badly after
her marriage To the venerable senator
are now doing penance. While politi-
cally the Chauncey, Depews are ex-
tinguished, socially they are climbing
away up. Mrs Van Andre, Mrs. De-
pew's sister has come over to Amer
lea and is planning a social campaign
in which she expects to crush many OF
those who snubbed her sister. AL
though Mrs. Van Andre has never had
any children, she is nevertheless the
mother OF prince. She adopted no
less princeling than Francis of Teck
a brother of the princess of Wales She
and her husband have made the young
prince the legal heir to all the Van
Andre millions. In taking the young
man off King Edwards hands it is said
that the Van Andres have gained the
lifelong friendship of the king. With
such a social advantage of having a
prince in the family the Depews are
sure to win out in the social game.

TOWNSHIP LEGISLATORS
Mistake Made by the Officials of
Township Near LitchVile to
Prevent Hunting.

Litchville Bulletin: At the recent
annual meeting in Rosebud township
b resolution Has passed prohibiting
all hunting with dogs within this town
ship This resolution IS clearly without
authority of law and is null and void.
The township could just as well pass
a resolution abolishing the Litchviile
postoffiee or prohibiting the. running
of trains. The good farmers who made
this mistake, can no more prohibit
hunting with dogs THAN they can pro-
hibit driving horses or automobiles
along the highway They have no pow
er and no law authorizing them to
take any such step. Farmers can post
their land, and keep the hunters off
their farms, and if hunters trespass
after such notices are posted they can
prosecute, but they cannot stop hunt
ing throughout the whole township by
resolution, and any attempt to enforce
such ridiculous and unheard- of thing
Will prove their mistake. The town
people who hunt are as rule careful
and courteous, and so far as we know
do no damage to grain or stock. and
we are sure nobody in Litchville wants
to hunt on farms where they are not
welcome. There are so many farmers
around who do not object to their
friends hunting over their places, that
the very few who are excited over this
matter, will be left strictly alone if
they will post notices or make known
their objections. The only way, au-
thorized by law, to keep hunters and
dogs off your farm, is by putting up
notices to that effecty-but you can't
prevent hunting on your neighbor's
place If he is willing to have his
friends hunt over It,
