Larimore did has been absent in Illinois for ubout two months returned home yesterday evening. We suppose some body will rejoice ever it. Last Tuesday morning when John Viets entered his store at Ilepler, he quickly discovered it had been entered during the night and robbed; as was plainly evident from tho demoralization of his money drawer, Hostetter Bitters bottles, etc. It was at that time early io tho morning. Mr.

Yiets came out of his store, and in looking along the M. IC. T. road he dis-ciscovcred iu the distance an Individual making his way southward. Tho idea at once flashed across his mind that there was the thief, He, with some others gave chase, and in a short time overtook the lonely traveler.

The pursueing party at once made their business known. The fellow denied the charge and said they might search him, which they proceeded to do, and found on his person about $10 in money, besides some tobacco and cigars and a bottle of Uostettrf Bitters. They thought they were juatiflod 111 taking the fellow into custody, and John Viets and a Mr. Henderson brought hi ai over to Girard, where a warrant was sworn out, and the fellow, who gave tho naino of ilolliu Warren, was arrigned before Justice Sayrs. It appeared that the thief had gained entrance to the store room by breaking out a pane of glass in tho fnmt Window of the building.

Ho then helped himseifto money, bitters, drugs, Tho evidence against him seemed to he pretty conclu sive, and being unable to give bail, he was committed to jail to await the action of the district court --) DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

IMU, pat Last Mdnday evening, hfl Miss Culbert was coming to tow on horseback, when just east of the railroad, her pony took fright at something, and turning quickly to the right threw tho young lady very heavily to the ground. Fortunately, Miss Culbert was not hurt.

A very heavy rain fall occurred here, last Friday uight and continued for most of the dny' on Saturday. Since then the weather has been very pleasant, and tarnv-ers now have a fair prospect of getting in their spring planting. The young men of Crawford county arc all said to.be opposed to the re-election of Thos Ping as Probate Judge, The reason is, he is too deaf to hrhr them whisper when they come to get the marriage license. A few days ago a horse belonging to J. Ablo, southwest of town about six miles, was running loose, and approaching the house was scared away by a child.

A meeting of the Joplin Coal Company was held at this place last Thusrday, at which time they transferred to the Joplin railroad company, for the Pittsburg town site, a quarter section of land. Geo.

Ridl ey was appointed agent for the sale of the lots. It seems that Frank Riley and Morgan Gainer of Grant township got into a little muss the other day, iu which Gainer came off second bett.i He ia- formed on Riley vesterday and of course had him arrested. The matter didn't amount to much, as it only cost Riley $17,40 to settle. The Enoch Arden Combination Troupe gave three entertainments at the court house in tit is city the present week.
