Some Excitement at Decatur.

Decatur City was considerably
worked up last Friday over another
reported attempted burglary, as
there have been several burglaries in
that town recently. A few weeks
ago C. R. Meeker's general store was
entered, and more recently R R.
Little's drug store was entered and
robbed of about $165.00 in money
and checks, the burglar entering
through a rear window which had
been opened during the day, and it
was a window which was never open
ed, being fastened with a catch, and
the tracks in the dust showed that
was the manner in which the burglar
entered the store. Last Thursday
night S. H. Campbell heard someone
in the rear of Creal " Sons hard
ware store, and he arose and went
out and notified the nightwatch and
several parties heard one or more
persons leaving from the rear OF the
store. On Friday bloodhound was
secured from Creston and used on
the trail, and it is reported that the
dog made several trips direct from
the rear of the hardware store to the
home of a resident of Decatur City,
who when questioned said he had
been there the previous evening pick
ing up boards for kindling. There
have been no arrests, but consider
able talk has been indulged in by
the people of Decatur.

More "War Prosperity"

A Leon automobile company has
sold 100 automobiles this year, and
the season has hardly started. Deca-
tur county has a population of II, 4S
and this auto company's territory
covers just one-third of the county.
In other words they have sold 100
cars in this period Of democratic hard
times in territory inhabited by less
than 5000 people. Doubtless other
brands of automobiles have been sold
in the same territory, which makes
us suspect that these Decatur county
people must also be getting rich off
the European war.-Bloomtield DEM

Tuesday of this week Sammy Pal
mer, living in the Tennessee neigh
borhood, met with very severe acci-
dent. While saving wood his hand
became caught between the stick he
was saving and the saw and the re-
suit is the loss of two fingers on
the left hand. Drs. Mitchell and Carr
were called and rendered the neces-
sary medical and surgical aid and
Sammy is resting as easy as fell
low could under the circumstances.
This is certainly a hard streak If
luck for Mr.. Palmer as it will put
him out of commission on the farm
for several weeks right when his as
sistance is most sorely needed.
