ORION STORE WINDOW
TAKES THIEVES EYE

Unknown thieves early Wednesday
morning attempted to cut the glass in
the H. G. Orion store window with
the probable object of stealing the
very fine merchandise on display so
temptingly inside. The unknown per-
son or persons cut tho glass in OBJ
long shape, two feet across and three
feet high but did not penetrate deep
enough to do more than badly scratch
the glass. The work was evidently
amateurish as retired local craftsmen
say that cutting window is an easy
job if one goes at it right-quick too.
The Herald is not going to give the
correct method away free.
Geo. Mccarthy, Night Chief, and the
Herald man, were talking on the street
near the store around two a. m. AT
that time George spoke Of suspicious
looking characters loafing about the
town. Evidently the work was done
by men attracted by the fair, after
George went home at 5 a. M, unless
he and the Herald man did it.
The Orion store window in the Odd
Fellow building is noted as being one
of the most attractive in the county
and the attempt to rob is, in a way,
credit to the boys who dress their
window in such tasty manner.

garet Trener Hicks.
He grew to young manhood and at
tended school in Bloomington and st.
Johns College at Prairie du Chen /;
he studied law with Thomas and Full
Ter of Prairie du Chen, practicing
his profession in the courts of Wis
consin, Kansas and Oklahoma.
Failing health compelled him to
relinquish his chosen work and seek
a change of climate. He returned to
Lancaster accompanied by his devot-
ed sister, Grace, to the home of his
older sister, Mrs. A. c. Morse, where
he was given EVERY attention that
one could devise to make his last
hours comfortable.
Rev. j. T. Morgans of the M. E.
church-of which Mr.. Hicks was a
life communicant-gav words of
comfort at the home and sang the
hymn ut is we'll with my soul" Rev.
Jamison concluding the exercises at
the grave. He was laid by the side
of parents, brothers and sister in the
cemetery at Beetown, September 8th,
1921, where the tired and weary body
may rest from its labors and has en-
tered That home where separation
cannot be, that home where none are
missed eternally."
