Sneak thieves entered the St. Pc
ter Tribune office last week and
finding the safe unlocked, felonious-
ly and with malice aforethought
battered the door of an iron drawer
in the same and secured six cents
which some patron had left in a lost
pocket book to be restored to the
owner. At least this is the only
apology which the Tribune publisher
offers for having so much money in

Tracy Herald: Is the Tracy pen
factory doing business? Well, yes.
On Tuesday single shipment went
to a Minneapolis drug company
that amounted to 5000. Another
order amounting to oyer S176 was

given by the statesmen.

Hutchinson Indep endent: The
lakes seem simply alive with fish this
spring-and why? Because the laws
have been enforced, seining has
been stopped and the game hog is
compelled to take his chances with
those who are satisfied to fish with
one hook and line held in the hand,
as the statute provides. Law en-
forcement thus brings untold pleas
ure to those who love the lake and
the sport of fishing and the small
fry are no longer netted out by the
hundred and fed to hogs as has been
done in years past, but are allowed
to remain in the waters and replen-
ish the supply, the food value OF
which is no small item and the sum
total of fun resulting is immense
The lakes of this, region are of far
more benefit to the people than
would the area they cover be in that
amount of good land.
