Mount Vernon.
Mount Vernon is to have an out
door, municipal swimming pool. AS the
result of the work of an inspired crowd
of boosters aided and Allotted by the
thermometer lowering around the 100
degree mark the work will soon be
started as the required $1,000 has been
subscribed by residents Of the town. A
mass meeting of all subscribers was
recently held and committee ap-
pointed to select the location and carry
out the plans Of construction. As yet
the spot where the follower Of aquatic
sports may frolic, Is nit decided on.
The place most favored Is the old brick
yard on the east side Of town. 1t is
well covered with trees and brush, and
could easily be converted into park
with swimming pool for use in the
summer and skating rink In the win
ter. The location Is well under discus
sion as the lot is owned by the city.

es were strewn about tho floors Of the
rooms on both the second and the first
floors. A screen had been removed
from window In the rear Of the house,
indicating that the robbers had obtain
ed entrance in this way, and probably
made their escape by the same route.

were brought to the scene when the
robbery was discovered ut about 1880
p. m. and they followed the trail as far
as the stockyards near the Rock Island

was found In his possession when he
