day night and about $135 worth of goods
stolen Everything was loft as usual ut dark
Sunday evening , and a gas jet was loft burn
ing When the place was opened yesterday
morning It was discovered that a rear win
dow had been forced , nud an empty gun ruck
In ono of the front windows showed what
the burglars hud taken rlho gns had boon
turned down very low , the depredators evi
dently fearing to turn It Gut entirely lest It
might attract the attention of the pollco
The window was forced with n couple of
harrow tooth , and some hoavler Histrumont ,
that was not found , was also used
The thluvei secured eleven revolvers , flvo
shotguns and about a dozen pearl-handled
pocketknives They did not tarry long to
malto an assortment , as they took the Ilrst
ilvo guns In the rack , although there wore
more valuable ones but n llttlu further awuy
They removed every revolver from the show
ense , but left u couple of rhoip onus of "JJ-
culibro , evidently thinking them not worth
carrying nway It was the sumo with thu
knives , the depredators Ignoring a lot of
razors and other cutlery cUfto at bnnd
There was undoubtedly more than ono of
the burglars , and they took about nil they
could carry 'I ho window through which
entrance was effected is ut the corner of the
two alleys in thu block , so that the lookout
could easily keep truck of the approach of
any suspicious characters It was thought
nt ilrst that the burglars must have had n
wagon to cui ty away their plunder , but no
tracks could be discovered , nua It is thought
they removed it n short distance , and that It
is now concealud somewhoio in the city The
authorities in nil the sunounding counties
have been notified to be on the lookout for
the property , and a reward of $50 is offered
for the arrest aud conviction ot mo burglars

fildo of the shop are hung up the bast pro
ducts of Pottawattainlo furms On the
hooks are flvo corn-fed short horn steers ,
skillfully dressed and garlanded with ever
greens and ( lowers The show windows are
filled with dicsscd turkeys , chickens , gecso

pigs dressed ana stuffed ready for the oven
and each with a big red npplo in its mouth
The prize object in the west window is a

nor The monster bird has plenty of com
pany of his kind , for ho is surrounded by his
kin , all ready for the oven , ranging from
twenty to ton pounds each The display of
dressed fuwls is the largest in the city , nnd

MRS HOYT'S BIG SUIT
A Decision Tlint Given Her $2,000,000
Worth of Property ,
Since the ( lospiitoh was rocoivctl in
this city announcing the settlement of
a suit said to hnvo hcou brought by
Mnrylrono IIoytapainstWB McClurc ,
comrnissionor of school lands near
Uliaricston , w. vn , , it tins upon learned
that the plaintiff was not Mary Irene
lloyt , but Mrs Marie E. Hoyt , of this
citv , says the New York World The
latter is the wife of Harris Hoyt , of 2200
Seventh avenue , a brilliant , entertain
ing woman whotollsan intorestinpstory ;
of this remarkable suit
The " she said to World
case , a to-
porter , involves tnor.o than $2,000,000
worth ol land in West Virginia , cm-
bracing 480,000 acres , probably the
largest private tract in the United
States This land , a hundred years ago
was the property of Robert Morris , ono
of the signers of the Declaration of In-
dopoudonco We obtained possession
of itabout twelve years ago , encumber
ed with any amount ot doubt about the
title and back taxes andboon Togeth
er , including all the family , wo have
put nbout $200,000 Into that prooorty
In 1885 , during the absence of Mr Hoyt
and myself In Europe , the Innd was ad
vertised for sale for taxes , and it was a
lucky fate that pormlttod Colonel Jesse
R. Irwin to buytbuolc the property for
mo , his client , au nod with a beautiful
now clear title fppip the state ,
When railroads began to bo pro
jected throughTJthat part of the state
other pcoplo bogmi to open tholr eyes
to the fact that the land was going to
ho worth many $ inies the origluul pneo
of ID cents an aaro and un nttompt was
made by the commissioners of school
lands to induce tlib state to rognrd the
land aa wnsto und worthless , hold by
mo on a fulso stifvoy , and to put it up
for sale The result ot our Injunction
put upon tbo defendants wus thut the
judge ordered tfi to have a now survey
made This wabubno and the old sur
vey was upholdi That Bottled it , of
course , since wp(11havo our tltlo and
have paid our taxes
The ptcturcsciuo part of the story is
that this property lies in good part in
the territory of the famous Hattlold-
McCoy feuds The McCoys stele lumber -
bor and dolled us right and loft Finally
Colonel Irwin had ono or two of them
arrested and shut up just long enough
to frlghton them u Httlo Then ho ap
pointed two of thom as caru-tukors for
the property , soiuq of which was so fully
appropriated by the lawless pcoplo that
it was not safe to even venture over that
part When wo sturted out to make the
survey , Willam McCoy , armed to the
teeth , wont every foot of ground ahead
of the surveyor Ho was menaced right
along , but when these men saw the lit
tle armory ho carrlod and learned that
, ho was a McCoy it was everywhere :
'O , ull right , Mr McCoy ; of course , If
you insist on it ' The survey cost us
$2,000 ; but it has saved $2,000,000 of
, property tous "
