The pie-pocket, thief and other hard cases were in attendance at the picnic last week, to lend it variety. A fellow who had purchased an over. coat at Montgomery's stand, stole another at night, and being accused, at once owned up, surrendering the garment. Some admirer of the war governor, on Thursday stole Gov, Curtin’s overcoat, of over $300. Mr. Knarr, of Millheim, had his pock- et picked of $17. A Mr. Keller, from west of towa, had his pocket relieved of a considerable sum of change. Another, whose nawe we did not learn found the exchequer of his breeches minus $40 when he needed some stamps. A fellow had his watch stolen, and his brother saw the thief run; he followed him to the dancing stand and made him deliver up the watch. There were nine other watches on his person. In place of handing him over to the police he was let go with the “nine.” On Saturday morning a discovery was made of an attempt to fire Mr, Miigle’s house, A small box, filled with straw saturated with turpentine, was found ua- der the porch ofthe house, and along side of it two paint cans with oil, The box showed evidence of having had a lighted fuse, which charred a small spot on the box and then went out. The idea no doubt was to start an alarm of fire during the night, draw the crowd to the place of fire, sud then the rascals would find a favorable opportunity to rob some of the stores, i —— i {he Milton Fair.

Just imagine what a narrow escape from death and a watery grave that was. Had it held two minutes longer the whole train, crew and pessengers would have been swept away, Reckless Driving. During the picnic many barrow es capes from serious injury were made by visitors and others from reckless and fast driviog oo the picnic ground asd on our streets. At the picnic Thursday afternoon the police arrested two young men for fast driving through the drives. Many narrow escapes were made and they kept it up until pulled, On Tharsday evening a geatleman, while sitting io his buggy at the stock shed, was run into by a party who were driving furiously, was thrown out an? seriously injored. The man was picked up and given assistance and was able to proceel to his home, though considera« bly bruise I. The driver of the other ve- hicie made his escapes.
