Aner mig ht Of ieverish unrest awOke late
on tpis not Julv morning. and later still took
a stroll around the town more FOR pRstime
than for recreation. In front OF bis place OF
bnstness stood sam Wilson and Frank Gray,
taxing moss they knew al about the sub
,ect. and ! knew nothing, so ! moved on.
Along the dock made historic by the enforced
detention Of the lime "buly' kamboi for
many Inepths. a quartet Of young men were
pitching Queits. Rather not weather for this
sind OF work but one had better not el those
engaged hear MIN call il work for they
would quit instantly u is play TO them; and
tbisis ore ofthe instances wnere there's some
thingin name "a rose by another name
NAV smell as sweet. &" but anything ike pitcn-
ing quoits must not be called work. The town
bailtf is sauntering around attending 10 his
business, and on the Qui viye for dogs. And
now. on our route, we come 10 the border OF
the lake where a coel breeze is waited across
the water mitigating the heat ana tempting
us 10 stop awhile and enjoy the refreshing
atmosphere and cooling shade At the upper
end Of the town Mayor Jones and cotefie
are discussing bellies lettres, but the atmos-
phere in this locality is becoming so somni-
ferrous that they will soon be obliged 10 go
home. We barely stop and getting 20 fair
idea Of the question under discussion we con-
tipue our way. Back down Chestnut street
we notice TWO men. three girls and as many
dogs. The dogs we're lolling, the men were
perspiring, and the girls-Or ladies-weTe glow
ing. Atthe printing office some one asserted
"tt's hotW John Crouch said; Boys, tell
you it's d. not That's all there Is about it,
We now had made tine circuit OF South Milton
and returned 10 ind Sam Wilson and Frank
Gray siil talking on their iavOrite subject;
the quot pitchers mad quit and gone home,
presumably TO rest. and TO sleep; and we con-
cluded 10 do likewise, mentally calculating
something ike the words Of Mr.. Crouch. Sam
smith put it something ike this: by my
Ks, and +, etc. II II amt not That's so!
on Saturday morning IL was discovered that
one Of the French plate glass windows IN front
Of Inc "big store" had been broken the night
previous There Is a small hole in the glass
that looks as though II might have been made
by bullet; and from this, as a center, the glass
is shivered in all directions, resembling the
radiaIOns Of light diverging from the sun,
that we see in pictures. But, there has been
no bullet found in the store and the curtains
to the windows are intact, which would not
be the case had bullet gone through the win.
dow. And the bullet theory is dropped. There
was found a brick upon the pavement IL
iuxtapostion to the window and the other
theory is, the window was struck with one OF
the sharp corners of this brick. The damage
is done. however, and II is evident II was not
an accident, but done on purpose II is evil
dent the motive for the act was not robbery;
else It could have been done with less publicity.
Il can only be ascribed to pure cursedness, and
a desire TO mutilate some ones property. II
is humiliating to be compelled to acknowledge
we have such persons in Milton, but the fact
remains.
