Monitor, March 16, 1886. Ben B. Canterbury came down from Kansas City on a short visit to his family Sunday. He 1s employed in the real estate office of Smith & Majors. Ben is a thorough real es- tate man andthe above firm were lucky in securing his services. Our young frend Lewis Hoff- man, when he sold his large lot of hides a short time ago. reserved three large wolf hides, the nicest in the lot, and had them made into handsome rugs, presenting Mrs. Levy one, Mrs. Ed.

Two or three of the participants were a little dishg- ured but are still inthe ring. The affair was very quietly conducted and did not disturb the peace and dignity of the city to any great ex- tent. J. M. Catterlin has moved his ab stract office into the brick building purchased of I. N. Davidson, on the west side of the square. He has fitted up the lower room in very tasty stvle esvecially for his busi- ness, and has one of the neatest and most convenient offices to be seen in this section. His large safe and counters are elegant. It will be observed by the time table that the morning train does not arrive in Butler until about Tiree Men Rob the Residence of Mart.

Our informant said while the family masked men entered the house and drawing their pistols commanded the family to remain quiet. Mr. Owens was taken completely by surprise and being in their power of course offered no resistance, and while one stood guard over the fam- ily and atterward the two ate sup- perand then relieved guard No. 1 while he ate. One ot the number then went to the barn and turned Mr. Owen’s horses out to prevent pursuit in that way. They then teok their departure, wishing Mr. Owens avery good evening. Mr. Owens is one of the largest and richest tarmers of the township, and we have no dount the burglars expected to be weil paid tor their trouble, but in this they were fooled as they on- ly secured a gold watch belongmg to Mrs. Owens and $2.50 in money besides a double barreled shot gun and mfle, which they carried away. Mr. Owens is certain he recognized one of the men. He was not slow in rousing the neighborhood and scouring the country in pursuit but up to present writing the thieves had eluded their pursuers, but strong hopes were entertained of over- hauling them. About 11 0’c! the fire alarm was sounded in the part of at the Smith. west town and was located Mrs. W. J.

The bond ot Ashby Hamilton and W. W. Winn, ot Kansas City is on file in the Recorder’s ofhce to bind the fulfillment ot one ot the largest real estate transactions that has oc- curred in Bates county for many vears. Mr. Hamulton proposes to exchange about 1,300 acres of land in Summit township tor Kansas City property, the consideration being estimated between $40,000 and $50,000. The abstract was made out by the Butler Loan and Title Company and cost $40. Mr. Ham- ilton says it will cost him upwards < Wednesday night | \ his safety.
