| | | l FARLEY POSTOFFICE ROBBERY A daring postoffice robbery took place some time during last night at Farley, the postoffice was robbed of $100 in cash and over $100 in stamps, In addition -to this $200 of the village funds was taken and about $100 belonging to Postmaster | W. T. Blakely. It seems that the robbery had been carefully planned, the robbers breaking into the storeroom of the M. & L. railway company at Turtle River and secured a handcar, and from there went to Farley. Before breaking into the building |it was carefully wrappde with blank- |ets and other material to deaden the sound, So well had they planned their act that not a person was dis® f-turbed when the large safe belonging ‘: to the village was blown to pieces. The section crew at Turtle River| discovered theit loss this morning and the company at once set out on a thorough search for the missing handcar. The county ‘officials are making a vigorous search and Sheriff Bailey expects in a short time to be able to lacate the handcar. This will give a clue as to the direction in which the robbers went after leaving Far- ley.

He has a capacity that is unquenchable and we doubt if he will “go to hay” any time he is here. - We note he is ac- companied by S. C. Mills, whom we do not know. S. C. may be related to C. H,, but if he is not we would caution him against being around long with the meat man and would advise him to carry a large long stuffed elm club for protection. H.

Charles is one of the best of the whole bunch. Joseph F. DeLaney of Park Rap- ids, county auditor of Hubbard county, came in last night for the Elks’ doings.

Frank Mahara does not believe that the theatre-going public has lost entirely its old taste for minstrel shows. There are others holding the same belief, for the Grand was crowded last evening when the minstrel troupe bearing the Mahara name sang, joked and danced through a prografn of merit. The usual “first part” was presented in the old half-circle style, with four huge- mouthed, noisy fellows on the ends. The singing, both vocal and chorus, was a large. part of the program and easily the best. The sp’ecinlties haye been presented before in Salt Lake, and for that reason were not strong, as they might have been regarded. James Harris has his hoops under control, but the actis old.
