ism was pulled off last night wnsn
some one removed the tin sign which
stood in front of the Bode-Larson Shoe
Co. store by climbing the post or
using a ladder and with a monkey
wrench, removing the nut and taking
the sign down. 1t was carried down
the street and placed in the doorway
of the B. & H. store where it was
found this morning.
The old man who has been at the
police station for several days was
taken to the county house today where
he will be kept unless his proper des-
tination can be found. Word from
Burlington states that he was not an
inmate of the county home there and
was not known. He talked UP there
about want to go south on account of
his rheumatism and the officials
there bundled him onto a train.
"A very pleasant surprise was Civ

flowers, also letters of regret from the
out of town members of the old Va
riety family who were unable to be
present. A most enjoyable afternoon
was spent by all.
