North Side Neps

Much speculation is abroad on the
North side as to whether the persons
who so kindly relieved B. Cruder, for
one week the owner of the North star
grocery at Park and Jackson streets,
of a $3.50 stock of groceries will be
compelled to return their numerous
but inexpensive purchases. The names
of several of the heaviest buyers are
generally known. and a hope is being
universally expressed that they can be
made to make a refund
Kilmaur King, humane officer, is
taking the matter up with acting pro-
bate judge, Hugh Mcfarland. and
will attempt to have guardian ap-
pointed to check the extravagant ca
reer of the old man, if he has any
| thing left to check.
