Young received injury about a
week ago which kept him from giving

most useless to make a search for the
sneak thief. The burglar was about
six feet tall and shabbily dressed. The

Leaves Next Week.
Maurice departs from hence next
week with his wife. the family Jewels
and personal chattels. And he goes
reluctantly. The popular manager
likes this town and the town likes
him. His new job in Racine will test
his ability as the Hammond PROPOSE
