analyze the photographs

that the sign on the door
says, The Rival Horse

and that it is situated at
zoo West 10th Street,
formerly one of New

ROBBERS TOOK 1900 FROM
THE w. T. DAVIDSON HOME.
Thieves Went Through Trunks and
Boxes In Fast Time.

Boy thieves who are believed to
be amateurs in the robbery game,
took $500 worth of jewels, coins
and other articles from the w. T..
Davidson home on North Spruce Fri
day morning. A number of old
coins, valued at over 800 are among
the missing things.
Mr.. Davidson has all his furniture
and other things stored in one room
of his home on North Spruce. He
had all his clothes, jewelry and
Iother articles stored in trunks and
boxes. Thursday evening he was in
the room and all was we'll but Friday
afternoon when he, in company with
several other men, went into the
room to take the goods to the attic,
an entirely different scene met their
eyes. Clothes we're scattered all
over the floor and the room was in
much disorder
The trunks and boxes we're broken
open and some we're broken beyond
repair. Mr.. Davidson at once looked
for the jewels which had been his
wife's, but they were all gone. A
collection of old coins, valued at
500, was also missing The thieves
believed to be boys who were anna
teurs in the game, had opened a
screen door and then forced their
way into the house thru the kitchen.
When the robbers left, they went
out thru the cellar and into the
alley, probably to escape detection.
The officers we're notified but so
ar no clue as to who took the things
las been found. 1t may be that some
evidence will be found in the room
where the thieves scattered things
,ver the floor.
Mr.. Davidson is a member of the
Abilene G.. A. r. and among his val
led belongings are a number or
adges presented to him on different
ccasions. These badges were re-
overed after careful search in all
arts OF the room. One badge was
Ound in corner of the room while
theirs were found under some OF
ne furniture.

HOPE CITIZENS TORE UP
THE GERMAN TEXT BOOKS

Some evil disposed persons broke
into the schoolhouse last week and
destroyed the German text books,
and wrote a warning note on the
blackboard against teaching German
in our schools. Such persons snould
be severely punished for they are
nothing short of vandals.-Hope
Dispatch.
Hope and Woodbine are the only
two towns in Dickinson county
whose schools still offer the German
course. However, according to
educated men, this is a good thing
and the books should not be de-
stroyed merely because they contain
the German language.

JEFFERSON TOWNSHIP
HAD A RED CROSS SALE.
But Many Citizens Refused to Give
To Red Cross.

The Jefferson and Dayton Red
Cross auxilliaries in Jefferson town
ship, had a Red Cross sale last week
and netted $S27.95. This amount
was turned over to the Abilene chap
ter A large portion of this money,
however, was given by a few per-
sons. One man gave $3.50 at the
sale while two boys gave 500 each.
Over $50 persons attended the sale.
One man in Jefferson township
has nine quarter sections of land
and large part of it is planted in
wheat. He refused to buy any Lib
erty bonds and gave the tremendous
sum of IS to the Red Cross This
amount was not given until lady
solicitor had exhausted herself argu-
ing with the man for two hours.
Another jefferson farmer whose
wealth is estimated at 100000, did
not buy any Liberty bonds and when
a committee, soliciting for the Red
Cross sale, called on him, he offered
one pig, providing some one be sent
to get it. The pig was not taken.
In the Red Cross drive, the farmer
gave 81.
One Jefferson farmer gave SO to
the Red Cross but refused to buy any
Liberty bonds. When the committee
called on him he said that supper
was ready and he did not have time
to talk. Several soldiers in that
direction nailed an American flag to
the mans house and the flag still
waves there.
Jefferson's quota was $3.50 and at
the time of the drive $1,126.15 was
sent in. With the $S27.95 Just sent
in, Jefferson more than doubled its
quota.
