ARRESTED ON SUSPICION.
Two Mortified Young Men Held in
Connection With Robbery Of Jew
elry Store.

Vht s-SO6Os
AS the result Of the robbery of
the jewelry store belonging to F. S.
Dyke of Northfield on Monday night
or early Tuesday morning, the po-
lice of that place have in custody
two young men living in that town
named Thomas and Porter. While
it is not definitely known that they
can be connected with the robbery
in any way, yet the trend Of events
seems to warrant their detention
until more can be learned of the
details of the affair. Chief Plum
kett arrested the two men last eve
ming and will hold them for the
present, at least, on suspicion.
No trace of the stolen goods have
been found as yet, although dill
gent search has been made, and it
is thought by the authorities that
until all or part of it is located, it
will be somewhat difficult to make
out a case against the suspects.

The neighing and whinnying of a
horse late Friday afternoon brought
Edward Rich, of St Adams Bay. in
to the barn of Bartholomew Coulter
marsh on the Georgia road, where
he found Mr.. Coutermarsh lying on
the floor of the stall beside the
horse, evidently dead. After notify
ing the family he rushed to the
summer cottage of DR.. A. A. Claf1in
and summoned him to the assist
ance of the injured man, but upon
his arrival, Doctor Claflin pronoun-
ced the unfortunate man dead. Mr..
Coutermarsh, who was IA years
old, went to the barn to feed the
horse when the animal jumped and
crushed him against the side of the
stall, breaking three ribs and al
most instantly killing him. It is
thought one of the broken ribs
pierced the heart. When Mr.. Rich
arrived upon the scene the victim
of the accident opened his eyes but
once, and it is probable that he died
a few minutes after the accident.

To Build Bridge.

Through the efforts of County
Attorney Majors, the Spring
River Power Company has come
to time, and will -bxild a fine steel
bridge over what is knovsp at the
Varck cut-cff, or the new cham
mel of Spring river, caused by
the building of the big dam at
Lowell. The bridge is to be first
class in every way, and work on
it will begin about the first Of
August.
In this connection we under.
stand the company is going to
build a fine dam across the cut
off, so as to save all the water
possible for power purposes. The
company can not nearly supply
the power demanded by the diff
ferent power using companies of
the land and zinc district, and
has made arrangements to double
the capacity of the big steam
plant at Riverton.
The building of the bridge
mentioned will be a big accom-
modation to all people living in
the southeast part of the county,
and it took hard work on the part
of Mr.. Majors to get the compa-
ny to consent to go to work early
on the matter, but he has sue
ceeded.

Baxter Lost the Game.

Last Sunday afternoon, at
Ervin's park, the Baxter ball
team met defeat at the hands of
the Galena Firemen. The game
was very pretty one up to the
beginning of the sixth inning,
when, on account of something
or other, some Of the Baxter
players began playing horse, and
let the Galena fellows make six
runs. Up to that time the score
was four to nothing in favor of
Baxter. In the seventh inning
the home team had not recovered
from the mess of the sixth, and
the Galena fellows secured three
more. The game was we'll at
tended and was very interesting
until the horse play methods were
resorted to.
The score:-
Galena-OO00O63OO-9
Baxter O0O2OO01-5
Dowty pitched up into the
seventh inning, and was replaced
by Harlan. Dowty pitched fine
ball, but was just worn out, and
had to have rest. Harlan pitch
ed in his usual fine form, and cut
'em down fast. Gordon also re-
placed Sowders in the box for
the visitors and made good. He
is a much better slant disher
than Sowders.
The Galena fellows are set
of gentlemen, and did not resort
to any kind of funny business.
