On Monday three young men were ar
rested on the charge of committing the
burglary and as the revolvers were found
on their persons the evidence against them
is quite conclusive. The arrest of the
three young men resulted in unearthing
what appears to be a regularly organized
band of reprobates—we refrain from call
ing them thieves.
Some time ago The Willows, the club
house up Spring oreek, was broken into
and quite a lot)of stuff stolen. From evi-
dence now in possession of the authorities
it is evident that the band made use of
that place as their headquarters. Some
ten ora dozen hoys and young men are im-
plicated and on Wednesday evening four
more were placed under arrest, while the
arrest of three or four more is likely to be
made at any time. While there is no con-
doning the acts of these [young law-break-
ers, we refrain from publishing their
names out of a feeling of sympathy for
their families and in the hope that some of
the boys, at least, will be able to prove
themselves innocent of any connection
with she gang. The guilty, however,
shoald be brought to justice and given to
know that such high-handed acts will not
be tolerated in this community.

When George L. Knisely moved from
Howard street to one of Twitmire’s houses
on Water street he had visions of being
close to good fishing grounds when the
trout season opens but he never for a min:
ute contemplated how accommodating the
suckers are in that locality. The very day
he moved he bad about fifteen inches of
water in hie cellar on account of the high
water of last Wednesday night. After the
water bad receded and his cellar drained
George went down to wash the mud ous
and imagine his surprise to discover flopping
around uoder the stairway a fine fifteen
inch sucker. The fish bad evidently gone
up the drain pipe when the water was high
and failed to make its escape when the
water went out. Now if the trout will
only be as accommodating when the season
opens George will be in paradise.
