Drag the Roads.
We met with a farmer today from
Rock BlulFs precinct, and being a little
inxusitive, as newspaper men are sup
posed to be, we were informed that he
had been to see the county commis
sioners, and presented to them a peti
tion signed with over 150 names asking
permission to drag the road on both
sides thereof. At first we thought our
friend was jesting or had taken on a
little jag of extract of corn, but on fur
ther inquiry found him to be duly sober
and stating facts in the case. And we
we will venture to say that a man that
will complain of the roads being drag
ged on both sides, will not likely be
seen doing as charitable an act himself
for the benefit of the community. We
think it is not necessary to say that the
permission was granted. And in con
clusion, will say, that when there is
nothing else to do for an hour or two
drag the roads.

HE NEVER
MISSED A HEAL
Chas. I. Webb Released From
Couniy Basfile at 7 00,
Returned at 10:30
It will be remembered that Chas I.
Webb was given a sentence some time
since for stealing some clothes from
Mr. Fanger and a pair of shoes from
Robert Sherwood, and for which he
has been serving time. His sentence
expired this morning at seven o'clock
and he was given his liberty; and wand
dering around town sought whom he
might devour, when he chanced to spy
the shoeshop of John Gebhart, and
stepping into his place of business, ask
ed to have a heel placed upon a pair of
patent leather Oxford3, and while the
shoemaker was at work, waited. As
Mr. Gebhart worked, Mr. Webb walk
ed around the store and Mr. Gebhart
tried to watch him while he worked and
told him once to leave the shoes alone.
This he pretended to do, but kept at
the shoe rack where the stock was kepH
Meanwhile, John P. Kuhney was walk
ing up and down the walk outside and
seeing the Webb at the case paused in
front of the shoe-shop door, and as he
did so saw him slip a pair of shoes under
his coat. Turning around at that
instant, Mr. Kuhney observed Deputy
Sheriff Manspeaker passing, and calling
hi3 attention to the matter, he placed
the man under arrest and conveyed
him to the county bastile. In conver
sation with the officer, he said that
Webb had not missed a meal or paid a
cent.
Very evident he is a star boarder.
He seems to have been lost with his
liberty on his hands and did not know
what to do with it.
The charge before was allowed as
petty larceny, but this time a charge
more serious will be riled against him
at the hearing which will probably be
given tomorrow and will probably be
daylight burglary, which will in all
probability hold him for a while.
