4 ESTABLISHED, 1868. Cameron County Press HENRY 7i7~Mt T LLIN, Editor and Publisher. PUBLISHKD EVERY THURSDAY We art> forced to ieave out three col umns of local news matter. Court will commence next week, the Italian to tried for murder. Associate Judge, John A. Wykoff, entered upon the discharge of his dui ties. He will not disappoint the peo ple who supported him for the position aud will be equally fair with his oppon ents. The new board of County Commis sioners entered upon the discharge of their duties 011 Monday. W. L. Thom as was elected clerk, Johnson & Mc- Narney, attornevs and Geo. Barker, janitor. John W. Norris, sheriff elect of the county took charge of his office on Monday, aud from the way things look at present, there promises to be something doing in his line. A Good Offer. William Anderson, our popular resturant proprietor 011 Broad street, who played with the famous Des Moines team last season, has received an offer from the Kansas City base ball team to play with them during the coming season but Mr. Anderson has become so much attached to Empori um and the people that he does not like to leave the "Powder City". Mr. Anderson conducts the Model Restaur aut on Broad etreet and is rapidly gain ing the good will and patronage of the people, therefore we would dislike to have him leave as. In speaking of Mr. Anderson and his restaurant, Suakes pere says: "If you are in the mood of enjoying choice food, And want it served right up-to-u ate, sir; "Billy Anderson's Place," and his good honest face, Are both of the very first rate, sir. lie keeps oysters aud clams, Mother's raspberry jam. His pie is an aid to digestion, Aud the way he cooks steak, aud the beans that he bakts, Shows that he's a great cook, without question. He holds forth on Broad street, aud he knows how tot reat, His patrons and friends on the square. His charges arc seasoned by rates within reason. Of your trade he just as»s a lair share. In playing base ball, he's Hie king of them all, As a cook he is equally hanoy, Ho kind friends, one aud nil. just give him a call, And you'll sure say that "Billy's a dandy." J. F. S. Burglary. One of the most nigh handed burg laries ever committed in this section took place in Emporium, Wednesday night, Dec. 23rd, at the Walker resi dence, West Fourth street. About 2:30, Miss Grace A. Walker was awak ened from her sleep and discovered a man standing before her dresser, help ing himself to her revolver and other trinkets. Miss Walker reached under her pillow for the gun when she re membered that she laid it on the dress er. The burglar made for the stairs, Miss Grace close after him, calling to her brother George* who slept in an adjoining room. The burglar, in his fl ght, fell down stairs, striking the newel post and knocked ofl the top. He made his escape. It is very evident that before going t'> Miss Walker's room he had gather ed togther the following: Onesl2s set of furs and Geo. A. Walker's gold watch, highly prized as a gift from his father, and passed it to an accomplice He visited the Kitchen and selected a sharp carving knife which he laid handy for use .in case ho was attacked. Four razors were taken from the down stairs bed room and distributed at con venient points The job was plainly the work of a professional for uone of the plated sil\. r was taken, all of the solid silver having been placed in the vault at First National Bank when they recently went west, and not hav ing occasion to use it, allowed it to re main at the Bank. As soon as possible Chief Mundy was called and telegrams sent to all points but as y>'t no clue has been found or information that will lead to the arrest of the burglars. Miss Walker, while terribly frighten ed, was brave enough at the time, be came terribly nervous and realized tha: she was quite a hero for all that. It is a great pity the revolver had not been in i r.s accustomed place, for then there would no doubt, be one scoundrel less Mi- ; Grace is a sure shot. A lil-erui reward will be paid for in formation ''h iwill lead to the recov ery of Ihe stolen property and the af reet of the thief. Presbyterian Church.
