Burglars entered the v. Fl. Cooh

window some ftime during Friday
night end stole close to 800 in cash
and several articles Of value tina.
were in the safe and desk. The en-
trance was elected in silence and
Mr.. and Mrs. Cook who sleep Just ov
Or the grocery, we're not aroused. Nc
trace was left behind oy which the
burglars can be Identified.
On srising Saturday morning Mr.
Cook went down to the store, as IL
his daily custom, and Immediately
noticed that something unusual had
occurred. The two small back win
dows were pushed in and the floor
near the safe and desk was Uttered
with papers. Little investigation was
necessary to show that the litter had
been caused by intruders.
The windows through which the
entrance was gained, are set high in
the back wall of the store and can.
not be reached from the outside by
anyone on the ground. A large store
box had been placed under the win.
dow and the burglars had worked
In this way. BY means of hatchet
and cnisel, which were taken from
the barn at the rear OF the lot. the
windows we're pried open. Why this
operation did not cause great deal
Of noise is not understood by Mr.. and
Mrs. Cook who we're sleeping Just
overhead and who would have been
awakened by very little noise.
|. The safe. which sits near the rear
Of the room, was fastened by means
Of the day lock and was easily opened
BY. the men who apparently knew
their BUSINESS. From this Q revolver
ana about SIS II money was taken
Eleven silver spoons were taken from
the desk and $12 In money was Sc.
cured from . small drawer under the
counter. The cash register. in which
was sor,o small change. was carried
into a back room and was mufiled
with sugar sacks to such an extent
that the bell must have made very
little noise.
When the burglary was discovered
Saturday morning 1t was feared that
the deeds and other valuable papers
which had been placed in the safe
were stolen, but they were later
found at the front part Of the store
lying behind the counter.
The Sheriff's Office was notified as
soon rs possible and work on the
case was at once started. but SO far
no arrest has been made.

YES Article II, Sec. "a
NO ! Welfare Of Employees

The point is made that not one in
ten today knows, from the descrip.
tion, what this proposal amendment
means.
An investigation shows that this
amendment seeks to establish the
right in the people to pass laws fixins
and regulating the hours Of labor. es.
tablishing 4 minimum wage and pro.
viding for the comfort, health. safety
and general welfare Of all employees
The proposed amsndanent further pro.
vides that NO other provision of the
constitution. shall impair or limit this
power. .s--
Framers OF this amendment pro.
posed under II to permit passage OF
humane laws in conformity with mod.
ern Industrial development and to i'm.
prove the conditions of employment
Of men, women and children. It is also
explained that by reason of the alb
sence of such provision In the state
constitution several such laws have
heretofore been held void.
Politicians are agreed that If the
majority Of the people fully under
stand this question 1t will be approx.
ed, but they say that taking the bal.
lot as an indication Of what the ques-
ton Is no one will know and the av.
erage man, on entering the election
booth. II he has no previous knowl.
edge relating to this question might
naturally vote against 1t.

SHOT
From Revolver In Hands Of
4 Woman
Scared Away A Chicken
Thief Saturday Morning

A chicken thief. after a very iudi.
crous scramble. succeeded in break.
ing down q fence and wire netting
and making his escape when discover
ed in the act Of stealing chickens at
the home Of DR.. and Mrs. David
Francis, 12l East Chestnut street
early Saturday morning. A revolver
shot, fired by Mrs. Francis from an
upstairs window. was all that was
necessary to start him in retreat.
At about l O'Clock Mrs. Francis was
awakened by the cackling Of chickens
in the pen at the rear of her home.
Looking out the window, she caught
sight of a man moving about the, pen
and hurriedly secured revolver
which she keeps handy. A shot was
fred into the air and the man did not
even try to find the gate, but scram.
bled on top of the chicken wire
fence which collapsed when he
reached the top. The thief's features
were not recognizable owing to the
darkness.
The police were called Immediately
to the scene of the attempted theft
but nothing could be found of the
man. No chickens were missing.
1t is perhaps fortunate for the
would-be.thief that the wire fence
and darkness almost obscured the
view from Mrs. Francis window as
she is an excellent shot with the re-
volver and, under ordinary circum-
stances, does not miss o mark.

NEARLY KILLED
Vas Girl Who Went After Turkey 10 A
Storm
(Shelby Citizen)

(Shelby Citizen)
The electric storm which passed
over this community Wednesday af.
ternoon did considerable damage at
Shenandoah. Lightning struck large
tree at about o'clock In front Of the
home Of Mr.. and Mrs. Miller Seaton.
who reside one mile north Of that
village. The family were sitting on
the porch and during the worst part
Of the storm Mrs. Seaton told the
little daughter to get q small turkey
which was In the yard and was nearly
drowned Just as the little girl was
about to bring the turkey to the
house a heavy bolt of lightning struck
the tree, near where the girl was 10.
Gated.
The daughter was stunned from the
shock, while Mr.. and Mrs. Seaton
were also overcome by the effects of
the bolt. The mother was the first
to recover, and found her daughter
lying In the yard beside the turkey as
II she were dead. The girl was car
ried into the house and soon recov-
cred consciousness. She was badly
burned about her feet and body, al
though her injuries are not serious.
The family suffered greatly from the
shock, and 1t was a marvellous es-
cape from instant death, to the entire
family
