HARD WORK FOR POLICE AND
NIGHT WATcHMAN TO GUARD
STORES WITHOUT HELP.

Once in a while a store on Main
street is broken into and some goods
stolen. The police are duly diligent,
but there is a big area to patrol.
and usually when a gang starts TO
operate they manage to have police
spotted and men posted to give
warning Of their approach. Within
the past week some stores have
been entered and at the last meeting
of the city commissioners it was
suggested that the merchants be
asked to leave their places Of busi-
ness properly lighted after closing
hours and also to have the alleys
in the rear Of their places Of busi-
ness clear of all boxes and debris
so that the officers can investigate
at all times without danger Of fall
ing over a loose box or barrel.

INJURED MAN
IS IMPROVING
ARM BADLY SHATTERED, BUT 1T
THOUGHT AMPUTATIoN WILL
BE UNNECESSARY.

JEFF Smith of Lone Grove, who was
shot by some unknown person night
before last, is getting along as we'll
as could be expected and it is
thought that his arm will be saved.
For time it was thought that his
arm would have to be amputated, but
the doctors say that they do not be-
lieve it will be necessary.
The wound is a nasty one and
shattered the bone to considerable
extent. The officers have not located
the one who fired the shot, but are
working on the case and hope to
land the guilty one before long.
Smith is at a loss as to why anyone
should want to do him an injury and
it is the general opinion that who
ever fired the shot evidently got the
wrong man.
