THIMBLE CLUB AT RUEDI

A jolly party of fourteen hied them
to the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Will
Smith at Ruedi last Friday to celebrate
the annual closing Of the Thimble club
sessions. The spacious mansion was
in readiness to receive its guests aud
the male portion of the household had
been reduced to nothingness that there
might be less restraint upon the fes
tivities of the occasion.
The visitors arrived Friday evening
and at late hour-no, they did not
retire-some few made the attempt and
woe to them! 1t was an all night ses-
sion. Saturday each lady was told she
must catch her own fish for lunch
Stiffness was not required as the pr
vate lake on the Smith place is well
stocked and they had NO difficulty in
landing fine mess. They climbed
hills, gathered flowers and had day
of perfect delight, coming in with ap-
petites to do ample justice to sump-
tuous chicken dinner, and rs Mr.. Smith
has a partiality for "yellow legged
chicken y there was an abundance with
all the trimmings.
1t was found necessary by the pow
ers in force to put Mrs. W. W. Crook
through the "third degree" and at
the point of guns, carving knives and
other fesrsome instruments the unfor-
tunate victim was driven to the task
Of washing the dishes for the entire
crowd, including the members Of the
household. Mrs. Horan, Mrs. Bryant
and Miss Crook were armed and on
guard and not until the last dish, pot
and pan had been dried and put in
place by those permitted to perform
that task, was the "third degree" de-
clared off and the weary lady allowed
to polish up her digits and make mental
reservations for the next year.
The majority Of the guests took leave
Of their most gracious hostess and
family and the beautiful scenes Sunday,
while others tarried longer.

BOLD ROBBERY

AS near as can be ascertained the
Dougan store on Grand avenue was en-
tered about four O'Clock Wednesday
morning and jewellery, to the amount
of 5000 was stolen. The back door
had been broken in and the light in the
display window turned out to enable
the thief, or thieves, to reach the front
of the store without being seen. All
the watches and rings in the show win
dow were taken, but as Mr.. .Dougan has
record of all his watches, they may be
recovered. 1t is supposed escape was
made on an early train as search has
failed to locate anyone in this neigh.

to hate and evil passions which cui-
minated in pitched battle the nigh.
of June 1st, when Verdeick forgot to
close one of his gates and several
horses belonging to Berszeni that were
being driven to pasture by Hans He'll
ing, strayed into the Verdeick place.
While in the act of getting the horses
from the lot, Verdeick rushed out and
begun throwing rocks at Heiling, hit
ting him on the body and advancing
toward him all the time. AT last He'll.
ing picked up rock that Verdeick
had thrown and landed it full between
the eyes of Verdeick, knocking him
down.
Part of the horses were out when
Heiling discovered the gate had been
wired up and Verdeick was trying to
make the balance of the horses leap
the barbed wire fence. One of the
horses was badly scratched up.
Verdeick swore out warrant against
Heiling charging assault with deadly
weapon and he, was bound over by
Justice c. P. Rice to appear before the
district court. Heiling then swore out
like warrant against Verdeick and
had him bound over for hearing. Dur
ing the rocky battle, Berszeni refrained
from entering on Verdeick's land, fear
into precipitate worse trouble. Ow
ing to the wording of the complaints
the cases were beyond the jurisdiction
of Justice Rice and all he could do
was express himself pointedly on the
evil elements of some human natures.

Mrs. J. E. Moore is in receipt Of word
from her brother, Corporai Cornelius
Howe, who was with Gen. Psrshing's
forces in Mexico. On the return Of the
troops he was stationed at Ell Paso,
Texas, and now reports from Chsta-
nooga, Tenn. His company has been
raised from 1855 men to twice that
number and they expect the call to
France any day. Corporal Howe was
one of the twelve men to scale the wall
at the Boxer uprising in China and for
bravery at that time received recogni-
ton and medal. He is most anxious
to get into action and while he agrees
that "war is hi" he wants to be
there.
