Only Map DTfted Way Back
in 1863.

Down Ia the surveyors office in the
basement OF the court house hangs am
old, grimy and tattered map. Two feet
away one can hardly recognize it.. but
on close scrutiny il resolves itself into
a map. a map Of st. Joseph county.
In truth IL is the first map ever drawn
or the county and Is approximately
81 years old. 1t bears the date and
legend that il was mate in 1853 by one
NJ. ". Stokes county surveyor.
Until this day that map has appar-
emily answered the purposes for which
it was intended. Anyway no other
map. that Is no other official may
by any county surveyor seems TO have
been made But the present surveyor,
Henderson Mcclellan thinks this map
has run it's course. SO a new one is
under construction, Bert Mcclellan,
son OF the surveyor doing the work.
A tedious job il is, for Bert has work
ed on the map for the past seven
weeks and is figuring on working that
many more before he gets IL finished.
II is not mere outline Of the county,
but Will show the position of every
farm, hamlet, lake. river, ditch and
creek in the county.
Some Towns Have Vanished

new shows some big changes that have
come over the county in the past fifty
years. foOuln DEAltA ~ ~ mere hAAAcAs7N-

A rather smart looking jail also
graced what is now the big hole for a

have disappeared from view. Numer-

HOUSE IS ENTERED
DURING AF TERNOON
Thief Pays Visit to Home of H.
c. 0ItSCh But is Frightened
Away and Leaves the Silver
ware Behind.

Two burglars were prevented from
making big haul from the home of
Hugo G. Oltsch, SIT Blaine av. Satur-
day afternoon by neighbors who, no
ticing that the house had been broken
into, scared the men away. Although
the burglars failed to get the silver
ware, they made off with several
small articles of jewelry. valued at
about SIS.
The two had evidently kept close
track of the movements of Mr.. and
Mrs. Oltsch during the day, for they
chose TO enter the houses at supper
time, shortly after Mr. and Mrs. Oltsch
had left for a dinner party in the
south end of town.
They entered through a window in
the kitchen. and ransacked the house
thoroughly, searching nearly every
room. A neighbOr woman noticing
that the rear window was open, and
knowing that the family was away.
told two of the men living nearby
about the circumstances.
Evidently the man inside had an &C
complete watching for possible inter
ruptors, for when the men were enter
ing the front door, the burglar escaped
through the rear window. Ha had the
silverware wrapped up in a table
cloth, but left it behind in his flight
According to the description Of a
woman who saw him leaving the
house, the burglar was man about
feet II inches in height. weighing
about 1I5 pounds. He wore a dark
OVercoat and suit.
The articles taken were a. gold ring
with several pearls and a red set in
the center. worth about 81: a geld
ring originally set with five opals, two
of which are missing worth 50, and a
baby's locket with the initialS d. o.
on one side and a rising sun on the
OF her
