Il al sketch of Confederate
Veteran, this week, we '
have decided to publish a brief
account of the West Fellclana {
Rifles career, throughout the
Civil War. It was written by
Mr.. Seymour Layergne, himself
a member of the company, and
read by him at the request OF

several years ago. Those pres
emit when Mr.. Lavergne read his
sketch will recall how the bitter
sweet memory Of those days OF
fighting and hardship, OF dan
Ger and suffering, Of the loss OF
beloved comrades, choked his
utterance, and bedimmed the
ewes of his hearers. His paper
reads as follows:

that would interest the people OF
this Parish more than a brief
sketch of the movements OF the

A PLUCKY WOMAN

The Akron Beacon has the follow
ing item of interest to Perrysburg
people:
Miss Eleanor Robinson, who fre-
quently visits here, and is a niece of
Mrs. H. E. Peck was the heroine in
sensational pursuit of gentlemen
burglars at the summer home of her
late father, j. L. Robinson at Verna
Farm, near Bridgeport, Conn, The
thieyes carried away jewels and silver
plate valued at oyer $1,000, although
Miss Robinson was close on their
tracks in an automobile.
The thieves were indeed gentlemen
burglars, for they came dressed in
silk motor coats, goggles and all the
paraphernalia of the real motorist,
says dispatch.
Verna farm stands some so feet
from the main road and the house is
hidden from view by trees and shrub
berry. The burglars forced library
window, and, after ransacking this
part of the house, appropriated sew
eral valuable bronzes. Next they Wis
tied the buffers pantry to get at the
safe containing the family plate. To
do this it was necessary to saw the
locks on several doors, but so quickly
and oleyerly did they work that they
obtained access to the pantry without
being discovered.
Through the carelessness of some
one the safe containing the silver-ware
was left open and, once in the pantry,
all the burglars had to do was to help
themselves. The whole lower floor
of the house, ten room in all, was ran
sacked. Afterward the thieves re-
galed themselves with champagne
and food, which they found in the
buffers pantry.
Miss Robinson who slept directly
over the door where the robbers were
at work, was aroused sjust as they
were seating themselves in the ma
chine to drive off Slipping from bed
she ran to a window in time to see the
burglars in their auto gliding opt of
the grounds Miss Robinson aroused
other members of her family and
dressed hastily. Then placing a
loaded revolver and a shotgun in her
motor car, she sped out of the private
garage on the track of the robbers.
1t was just day break and the
course they had taken showed clear
in the dew on the road. The plucky
woman followed the tracks until she
lost them in innumerable others lead
ing toward New York. A general
alarm has been sent out, but no trace
of the burglars has been discovered.
