 DRAGON LAST NIGHT

Even those who have already passed their prime seemed to enjoy spinning the platter" and waiting for the judge to collect the forfeits. There happened to be present several of the town musicians and orators, who glad ly entertained the audience with their talents. When the great log fire was at its best few young ladies popped corn and served it to the crowd.
 Dainty refreshments had been pre- pared by the ladies, and all were ready and happy to partake after the exciting games which preceded. The weather was ordered for this occasion and nearly fifty people took advantage of 1t and attended the Dragon party. These parties have proven to be quite

Poorer by four hundred dollars than he was the night before. NJ A.

That there were others acquainted with this circumstance, is evident from the fact. that when he stepped outside tho back door of his bakery shop shortly after eleven o'clock Tuesday night, he was immediately assailed by two un- known men, Though still unable to give but bare details of the happening, Stark is confident that they were Mex jeans. He was struck severely under the chin and on the back of the head, and was rendered unconscious long enough for the culprits to search him thoroughly. He recalls seeing them disappear across the bridge but conld give no clues that would aid the police in tracing them.
 Both Constable Estrada and Marshal Browning went over the ground yes terday morning but no clues could be established About half of the money in his wallet, Stark says, was in silver and currency and the balance in checks.
