STAMPS 10 THE AMOUNT OF $300
Were Taken Besides About $75 In
Cash and Several Registered
Letters No Clue to the
Robbers as Yet.
From Mrmiau'i Daily
Some time last night or early this
morning entrance was effected
through the north door of the post-
a "tice building and the safe blown
11' pen and rifled
f'l fhe north door to the postolTice

and has had a storm door nailed
over it ou the outside. This had
beep pried off acd carried behind
Hansen's grocery store. Several
holes were then bored through the
door just above the knob, large
enough for a man to get his hand
through. The key has been left in
1 the door since last fall and they
Vached through to the inside and
unlocked the door., .
The burglars then proceeded to
the safe. A hole was drilled
through the outside door of the
safe to the combination lock and
that broken so the outside doors
were open. Then through the next
' door a hole was drilled and the
combination completely blown to
pieces.
They then went through the safe,
taking everything of any value, and
scattering the rest of the things
over the floor. About $.'500 worth of
stamps were taken besides $00 in
money belonging to Postmaster
j Streight, part of which was G. A.
(, f R. money; W. J. Streight had about
' ?4U in the saie mat Deiongea to
Gauntlet lodge No. 47 K.of P. which
. was also taken. Mr. Streight had
J "i several keepsakes in the safe that
iV ere taken, one of wnich was a gold
I jfwatch that was given him
L Vby his mother when he was
f'('a boy and which he would
l'"1"! -f nave taken a good deal
f?-$' for. Several registered letters
i were taken, the amount of which
, cannot at present be estimated.
I Will Streight had left a vest hang
a. ' ing in the office which contained
$30, but that had been overlooked.
V' The man that broke open the safe
Px'V was a professional from the appear
j ancc of things, but he had an ac
complice who was well acquainted
with the office probably home tal
entas he knew just where to effect
an entrance, and besides he was
well acquainted with the blacksmith
Sv shop belonging to Hilly llasler. A
window was taken out of the north
door of the blacksmith shop, so they
could reach in and unhook the door
l i from the inside. Here they secured
i I a number of articles to do the job
wit
with. Two brace and bits were tak
en so as to gain an entrance to the
postoffice from the out side.
It is generally conceded that the
men who went through the postof
lice are the same who set fire to the
building in the Second ward, so as
to draw the attention of the people
to the fire, while they would have
clear sailing in going through the
postoffice.
A large number of the stamps
taken will be of no use to them as
but they failed to put in an appear
ance for breakfast. This morning
when the chambermaid was making
the beds flic found several queer
looking tool in the bed that the
) they cannot sell them, as they .were
'-4 most all five and ten cents stamps,
i A couple of strangers secured a
' bed at the Cottage House last nighl,
strangers had left and which Mr.
Woodson has now in his possession.
Mr. Woo ison also stated that a per
son could go in and out of the house
without attracting any attention.
Whether these two men had any
thing to do with the robbery is not
at present known.

Report for the week ending Friday
April 15, 1892:
Reports received from forty coun
ties. The week has been cold and
stormy and little farm work has
been done.
The temperature has been every
where below the normal and the
skies have been generally cloudy.
The rainfall over the greater part
of the state has ranged from one to
two inches and in the extreme
southeastern part has exceeded
three inches, averaging about three
timea the normal amount for this
season of the year. Snow was re
ported on the 7th and 8th, and a
heavy snow storm waa very general
one 13th but mainly melting aa it
fell.
Wheat ia nearly all sown but in
many cases it was not covered and
is sprouting on the ground; and
putting in of oats has progressed
but little.
The Bason ia very late and warm
dry weather ia everywhere needed,
but the moist condition of the
ground indicates that warm
weather will bring crop conditions
rapidly forward toward the normal.

Mark Cone,
During the storm that raged last
evening the residence of a Bohemi
an named Hoback, who resides in
South Park, was struck by lightning
and burned to the ground.
The first intimation the inmates
of the house had of the house being
on fire was when the neighbors
rushed in and commenced carrying
out the furniture. The lightning
was so sharp in that neighborhood
that Kd. Oliver, who only lives a
short distance from the house that
was Btruck, was stunned by the
shock. He had been out to the bam
milking and started to the house
when the crash came and says that
the shock stopped him still, and
that he could see the bluish fire run
ning along the ground. Harry
Coolidge also only Uvea a short
distance from the place and waa in
the barn feeding his horse when the
lightning struck and the shock
threw him back agninst the aide of
the barn.
The house waa completely de
stroyed, but will not be a total loss
as it was insured for $500.00
Reduced to Ashes.
The fine residence of Senator S.
L. Thomas burned to the ground
yesterday forenoon. Mrs. Thomas
and her son left home in the morn
ing for the purpose of attending
church, and the only fire in the
house waa the one in the cook
stove, but it had died out before
they left for church. The house
and all their household gooda and
clothing were burned. The origin
of the fire ia unknown, aa there waa
no one at home when it happened.
No one knew of the fire until it had
burned the building to the ground.
The first any of the family knew of
the fire waa when they arrived home
at 5 o'clock yesterday evening. Mr.
Thomas was in Omaha yesterday
but did not go home last night on
account of the rain. He heard
nothing of the fire until he arrived
at home this morning. He then
saw the home he left the
day before, a pile of ashes. The
loss Mr. Thomas estimates at $1,800.
The house was insured for $1,200.
Handsomely Entertained.
A very delightful evening was
spent at the handsome home of Mr.
and Mrs. II. N. Dovey, on North
Fourth Btreet, Saturday evening.
The genial host and hostess made
the evening pass in mirth and jol
lity. The alluring game of
high five waa heartily enjoyed.

were served, after which dancing
was the event of the evening until
time to depart for home. Follow,

John Lepper, Living Ner Avoca,
Has His Arm Shattered by a
Gun -Capt. Yocum
Free Again.
Those of our people who visited
the Waterman last night to witness
the presentation of the beautiful
little operetta "Neta," were most
agreeably entertained. It is seldom
that an amateur performance
reaches the high state of perfection
that distinguished last night's ben
efit, and so it is a matter of pleasure
to give to it the credit its merit de
serves. Without exception it was
elegantly presented. The princi
pal characters were sustained by
Miss Lucile Simpson, Miss Nannie
Moore, Mrs. George Dovey and
Mrs. Charles Johnson in a very
capable manner. No one of these
fair ladies can be rated
above the other so far as
ability is concerned, as all are
equally at home with their parts.
F. C. Cushman, the prince, dis
guised as a Gypsy, capt in ed the
house with his funny acting and
merited deserved applause. The
minor characters were well sus
tained, and the chorus was a dream
of beauty and a poem of motion.
The scenic effects were well put on,
and several very beautiful tableaux
added to the glory of the scene.
The Misses Dovey and Kew, in
their various dances, called .-forth
loud and prolonged applause which
was well deserved. Too much
praise cannot be bestowed on F. C.
Cushman, the manager of the enter
taininent, for the excellent manner
of the presentation, although, if we
may judge from what we under
stand of the financial consideration,
he has been amply repaid for his
labors. The operetta will be per
formed again to-night, and we ad
vise those who have not seen it to
go and spend an enjoyable eve
ning.
A Serious Accident.
A painful and serious accident
occurred yesterday afternoon three
miles south of Avoca, this county
John Leppers, a young man 18 yearn
of age who works on the farm for
Henry Hillman, was the unlucky
person. From reports the IfEKALO
learns that young Lepper had gone
out with a gun to shoot at a mark
While enjoying this pastime the ac
cident occurred, the gun bursting,
blowing part of the barrel almost
through the arm just above the
wrist, splintering the large bone
very badly. The weapon he was
shooting with waa a very old pat
tern. The burstingof the gun filled
his face full of powder, but the at
tending physician does not seem to
think his eyca were injured. Grave
feara are entertained by the phy
sician aa to saving the arm, al
though it may not be necessary to
amputate it
Presentation of the Pardon.
AdjutantGenera Vifquain has re
turned from Hastings aa the bearer
of Governor Boyds' pardon to Cap
tain A. D. Yocum, who shit and
killed Myron VanFleet for traduc
ing his daughters good name,
General Vifquain was met at Hast
ings by General Dilworth and Gen
eral Bowen, counsel for Yocum and
at once sought the jail where Cap
tain Yocum was confined, The lat
ter waa prepared for the visit hav
ing been notified by telegram hence
he was prepared to receive the bear
er of good news. Nevertheless he
exhibited some emotion when Gen
eral Vifquain handed him the par
don "in behalf of our fraternaty of
charity and loyalty" an allusion to
the G. A.IK,, of which all present
were members. "I hand it to you
as an caster morning present," said
General Vifquain in conclusion.
Captain Yocum turned the pardon
over to Sheriff Crune and the three
walked to the hotel, where greetings
were exchanged with many citizens
of the town. Reports of a certain
woman having threatened to avenge
the death of Van Fleet caused Cap
tain Yocum's friends to keep a
sharp look out to prevent its fulfil
ment, but nothing occurred to indi
cate that anything of the kind
would take place, and the last chap
ter had been enacted of the famous
Hastings manslaughter. St ate Jour
nal.

The funeral of Mrs. Harry How
