ARCHBISHOP VISITS DEBORAH.
Most Rt. Rev. j. j. keane, Arch
bishop of Dubuque, Makes Visit
to DEBORAH Sunday.

Most Rt. Rev. j. j. Keane, arch
bishop of Dubuque, was in DEBORAH,
Sunday, and delivered an address at
st. Benedicts' Catholic church in the
evening, and the church was well
filled. He is a fine eloquent speaker
and his address was listened to with
great interest by all those in atten-
dance. The archbishop paid a high
compliment to DEBORAH, her progress
siveness and beautiful surroundings.
parishioners had a conference with
the archbishop regarding the build
ing of the new Catholic church,
which is expected to be erected in
DEBORAH, in the near future, posi-
bly, next year. There had been some
talk of changing the present site,
but so far the preponderence of
opinion seems Ill favor of the old To-
cation
The archbishop spent Monday fore
noon here visiting with Fathers
Have and Rainier, and visiting diff
ferent parts of the city, and he was
greatly pleased with DEBORAH. He
departed on the 1905 for his home
in Dubuque.

PARROT ROUTS BURGLAR.
Home of l.. n. Moss, of Spokane,
Wash, Formerly of DEBORAH,
Saved From Robbery by
Polly's Hello"

The home of l.. n. Moss, a former
resident of DEBORAH, but now living
in Spokane, Wash, was entered by
burglars about a week ago, and a
pet parrots hello" frightened the
early morning intruder to such an
extent, that he fired his revolver in
the darkness and escaped. The fol-
lowing from the Spokane Daily
Chronicle gives the details:
Greeted with a brisk Hello as
he entered the darkened dining
room of the home of l.. n. Moss, w.
1922 Seventh Avenue, at 4:30 this
morning, a burglar fired point blank
in the direction of the voice and fled
from the house, leaving behind him
a roll of plumber in his haste.
The voice was that of Polly" a
parrot, and a pet of the Moss family.
The bullet did no further harm than
to pierce a door and slightly disfigure
the wall.
The intruder had apparently been
at work in the house for some time,
as he had collected considerable
booty, which was found carefully
rolled up in a sack and left behind
him in his fight.
The burglar certainly thought
that some member of the household
had discovered him at his work and
his shot was intended to kill said
Mr.. Moss. He did not want to see
what the result of his shot was, but
was gone before we could get a
glance at him.
1--WE discovered most Of what he
had taken, but he got away with a
few trinkets that he probably stow
ed away in his pocket"
Mr.. Moss is vice president and
treasurer of the International casu-
atty company Spokane Daily Chro-
nicle of Dec 9Th.
We wager that Mr.. Moss will see
to it that Polly gets plenty OF
crackers for Christmas this year.
