Arriht of h Sust I!y the Sheriff of Nt- m:ilin County. From Thursday's I;illy. SlicrilT Hollow ay received a tele gram frowi the slk-ri II" :it Auburn last evening stating that he had under ar-re-a at that p!at-e a man who had roods in his possession which answered the description of those taUcn from the general merchandise store of C. (J. P.uckwell at Alvo last Friday niht. The Nemaha sheritF ha.l no description of the thief, but will hoid this man until an investiga tion is made. County Attorney C. S. Polk went to Alvo today to see if ho could secure any evidence leading to the detection of the party who com mitted the r. h.rry. Jt is possible that someone saw the thief the day pre vious to the robbery and would be able to identify him. The sheriff is serving papers in the southern part of the county today, and will zo to Au burn tomorrow after the man. The sheriff is rrc;itly handicapped ia rapturing thieves trom the fact that where robberies occur in the small town out in the county they neglect to promptly send in a description of the stolon property, or of the thieves, if any is had. The lirst intimation thehei-iiT had of the Alvo robnery w:l-i ML hen ho sav an account of it in Wednesday morning's paper. A thief would have ample time to reacn Canada in that time, if ho so desired W rat her Keport.

The board of county commissioners have called a special election for July 7 to vote bonds in Eight MtV- Grove precinct for the purpose of erecting a bridge across the Plutto river at Cedar Creek. lo a man tin a tree tms iooks like a bad move and will even bo an injury to the little town of Cedar Creek.
