side, near Mr. Dewalds home, one
mile this side of Sonestown, a boy's

suspicion was aroused that it was the
one stolen from Joe Cooper's store a
few weeks ago. Mr. Cooper was
notified and ongoing to the place
found the suit to be his. This rob
bery, without a boubt, was the work
of tramps who desired a change of

into last Friday night by robbers

tents of an unlocked safe was hauled
out and examined, but no money
was found. Tracks of two men
wearing numl>er seven SIMM*S were
found leading to the rear of tin* store
building from the alley below flu*
odd 'fellows hall. Entrance was
gained by breaking through the cel
lar window and owning the cellar

point* directly to a company of
tramps who were in this section for
several days.
—Hereafter at hotels and restaui

ter whether in country, city or town
the guests will no longer be given
quail, wild turkey, venison, wood

to a fine from 1-5 to SIOO. It is the
law that the game mentioned cannot
be killed for sale, and wen if given
to a hotel man or restaurant pro
prietor, if he serves them as a part
of a meal for which he takes money,
he is liable to arrest and punishment.
This seems like a very hard law,but
the state game commission says that
as it is the law it will be inforced,
and that its inforcement is necessary
in order to preserve the gume in the
state. r

Two Deaths in One Home.
—On Monday Dec. 8, Mrs. Mnrtlia
J. Sinclair, daughter of Mrs. Susan
Ann Pennington, triumphantly en
tered her eternal home. Mrs. Sin
clair was fifty three years of age,
and for the past twenty nine years |
she had been u widow. During her
years of widowhood she made her
home with her mother. The last
live years of her life she suffered
with bronchial asthma, whose iron
grasp made her an invalid. During
this sickness her mother's only ob
ject in living seemed to be to admin
ister to her unfortunate daughter,
and often it was said by those who
noticed the constant devotion and
increasing attachment exhibited by
mother and daughter, that one could
not live without the other. On
Thursday, November ill, it was seen
that her strength was failing, and
on Monday she slept peacefully,
.levermore to awake to endure her
usual suffering, but opened her eyts
in the world that knows 110 death.
Mrs. Sinclair was a member of the
Methodist Episcopal church for
twenty five years, was in excellent
repute as a consistent a nil noble
woman and was respected and lov
ed by all who knew her. The bur
ial took place Dec. ">, in Cherry (Srove
Cemetery. The deceased is surviv
ed by onedaugliter, Mrs. L. J. New
mail, of Nordmont. Mrs. Newman
took sick the night her mother died
and is still very ill. Her constant
care for her mother, and unexpected
bereavment were more than her
physique could undergo. She now
suffers from an attack of pneumonia
and pleurisy. Her physican is
hopeful of her recovery and all her
friends and neighbors express their
sympathy in prayers anil well
wishes.
When the stricken family
returned from the funeral they only
tlid so in time to be eye witness of
the death of the devote*l mother,
Mrs. Susan Ann Pennington. She
became sick the day after her daugh
ter's strength failed.
The funeral service was held in
the Cherry Grove church on Satur
day, December H. Rev. Mr. Dunn
assisted the pastor by preaching a
well prepared sermon. Her earthly
remains were then committed to the
grave beside those of her daughte.
Mrs. Pennington came to David
son township when but a little girl.
Iter parents were of the first settlers
in that section. When married she
started house-keeking at Nordmont
where she has lived sixty-three
years, without once changing her
residence. She was the mother of
five children and has been a widow
for twenty years, and was at her
death aged"it years, <i months and
2"> days. Her two sons, Joseph ('.
and Jefferson, went on the battle
field in the civil war to fight the
battles of their country; the former
returned in triumph with his com
rades, the latter gave his life for the
cause he desired to vindicate. Three
of her children survive her, Josep C.
of Nordmcnt, Mrs. Corson of (Jlen
Mawr, and a married daughter in
Nebraska, who was bereaved of her
husband two weeks prior to the
death of her mother and sister.
She has been a member of the M. K.
church for sixty years. Her chari
table spirit, her strong christian
character and her excellent judgment
live after her. She was devout,kind
and hospitable, a devoted mother
and a good neighbor, and her remov
al leaves a great void, not only in
her bereaved family, but also in the
circle of many friends who loved
her and revere her memory.

valuables, Monday morning Dec.
