cold and businesslike, yet he liked
the place. So he paid her his last

tramped over the city in search of
work but none could be found; he

Steals from Sheriff.

It takes a bold thief to steal
from the Law; and yet that is
what happened last Sunday night.
A thief cut the wire netting pro
tecting the window to the sheriffs
office, and raising the window
stole from the Office a copper
cap. This cap had been taken
by the officers last July 9Th from
a raided still near the Page saw
mill, six miles east of the city.
Nothing else in the Office was
missed, the thief evidently being
a blockader who needed a cap to
start business"
