About 8 o’clock in the evening,
while the proprietor was in the rear

the cigar store of Walter Wilmot and
took therefrom two boxes of cigars
Mr. Wilmot heard the click of the
lid of the cigar case and emerging
from the rear room he saw the men
running out of the store.
He and
Frank Smitson gave chase, and after
running quite a distance overtook
one of the men. Seeing that he was
"up against it” he turm-d and "land

Vida. March 20.—The members of

den. Mr. Van Duzen. has forwarded
to B. F. Finn the plans and specifica- j
tions for the new buildings, and they
w ill be quite elaborate when finished.
They will be built by contract let to
the lowest bidder. Any one willing
to make a bid can call on Mr. 4 inn
and see the plans.
The Gate Creek union, No. 287,

Adrian Wycoff, who had th«A misfor-
