Pioneer Day Thirty-Four Years Ago
Eighteen years ago last Friday the hrst
settlement was made in Columbus Neo' II
has been the custom for the last few years
for the old settlers to meet at the house
of some of the number and celebrate the
anniversary. on Friday last a few OF the
old settlers met at the house of j. Rickley
and had a good social time. These old
settlers are dropping away, and new men
are taking their place. Soon they will all be
gone. We hope that they may live long to
enjoy their happy reunions.-Columbus

while secondhand, was in pretty good con-

PETTY THIEVING
TOO PREVALENT

We occasionally tie our horse in one
of the stalls of the shed on the mar
ket place on the east side, and some
times leave him there until after
dark. We have had several whips
and straps stolen while the horse was
standing in the shed. Our expert.
ence, we suppose is that Of many
others. Last year, we obtained evil
dence against two young boys who
were guilty of stealing our whips, and
upon promise of good behavior they
were allowed TO 60 without punish
ment. In this act, we believe we
made mistake for it is likely that
these same boys have again been
guilty of taking the whip we lost on
Tuesday afternoon. If this proves
true they will not get off as easily
this time.
1t is truly to be deplored that
people who have occasion to tie their
horses in the public sheds cannot do
$50 without danger of having articles
stolen therefrom while they are attend
ing to business matters or shopping.
We are informed by all business men
that there is considerable thieving
attempted and carried out in our
stores almost every day. The thieves
are sometimes caught and on account
OF the publicity are allowed to go
''scott free" on promise that it shall
not occur again. This course of pro-
cedure is wholly wrong ia our opin-
ion. The only way to prevent a repe-
tition Of theft is to prosecute the
thief to the fullest extent of the law
for the offense. If severe punishment
was certain to be melted out to the
offender if found guilty, we believe it
would have tendency to diminish
petty thieving. We would suggest to
the business mems association to take
this matter up, with determination
to rid themselves of what is becoming
too common practice. In the mean
time the police authorities should be
vigilant and try and apprehend the
guilty ones.
