CAUGHT STEALING PEACHES.

Henry FOnchs has a crop OF fne
peaches on his farm at Staytonsville,
near Milford, and he has been receiving
good prices for them but there are those
who look with covetOus eyes on his
crop, and who have been taking them
at night. Last Monday evening he fol-
lowed the tracks Of two men leading
into his orchard, and caught them in
the act OF stealing the fruit, but both
escaped, leaving behind three baskets
Of fine fruit which he at once took
charge Of. He believes he recognised
both mea, but would not swear to their
identity, so ne arrests followed.

BOY RUN over WHILE PLAYING BALL.

The children Of Milford have no place
where they can play without sppFO
priating the public streets Of the town,
and therefore break the town ordinance
against ball playing in the streets This
is shame, and a great hardship to the
children. Last Monday while a lot OF
little fellows were playing ball at the
railroad station, carriage approached,
and all Of the boys got out OF the way
except one, who instead Of running
from the team, ran directly under the
horse and was run over. No serious
injury was sustained but the lady who
was III the carriage, was made very ner-
vOus over the accident. II some OF the
wealthy folks would only open up their
hearts and buy a five acre lot, and pre-
sent it to the town for an athletic field,
they would be doing an act " which would
carry their names down to future ages
with blessings for the memory: As it
now is the boys have no place TO exercise
their muscles, and the girls have no
opportunity TO take wholesome out door
exercises to strengthen their bodies and |
make them better citizens. II any Of
,ur many wealthy ladies will consider
his scheme, the Chronicle will show
hem an ideal spot for their phiIsn-
hropy Iu all sincerity, lets give the
3 chance for healthy games

Before Death.

Hutchinson, Kan, June 3O-In order
that Lewis B. Mulvehall, a reformatory
inmate who lay dying at the Stewart
hospital, might have his last wish to
die a free man, the board of managers,
after having regularly adjourned, met
again yesterday and liberated him an
hour before he breathed his last.
NIulvehall was % years of age. He
was received at the reformatory about
six months ago but was regarded as
trusty. He was first assigned TO
work in the barber shop and then
placed on duty in the residence of Su-
perintendent c. A. Richards. The cause
of MulvehalPs death was abdominal
trouble. Some time ago Mulvehau was
operated on for appendicitis and an adj
heSion is believed to have formed. The
young man was taken i'll last Monday
after eating a couple of apples. Real
izing that he was about to die Mulve-
hall requested that Superintendent
Richards come to his bedside He then
pleaded that the board of managers
which had been in session yesterday be
asked to consider the matter of giving
him his liberty. 81 know I have done
wrong" he said. but oh, don't make
me die a prisoner. L want to be free
