Luckily the contents in the drawer amountedto the small sum of $3.15 and the thief did not gain much by his job.

The Humane Society had their hands full looking after the owners of some of thehalf-starved critters that were tied to the posts and fences. One of these “horsejockeys” while on his way to this city with a number of horses, lost one of themon the plank road a few miles from here by being unable to walk any further, probablyfrom the effect of drug.

HON. AMOS THOMAS
Assemblyman from Granville, Milwaukee county, who was taken sick soon after the Legislatureadjourned in 1889, is now being taken care of by his son in Tamora, Neb., cashierof the Tamora State Bank, who wrote us under date of May 19: “Father is in a kindof stupor and knows but very little of what is said to him. He generally recognizeshis old acquaintances, but can only say on odd word now and then that can be understood. The doctors have no hopes of his ever getting better.” The many friends of Mr.THOMAS here and elsewhere will be sorry to hear the bad news. We have known himnearly fifty years, ever since he was a boy of 17 years old; he always resided in the town of Granville since coming with his parents from Indiana in 1839.

SLANDERING PORT WASHINGTON
The Milwaukee Sentinel of Monday last had a sensational dispatch on its front pagewith large headlines from Port Washington to the effect that two men were instantlykilled and another fatally hurt while raising a cottage on Sunday previous. Thispiece of news was reproduced in the afternoon city papers with appropriate comments. The Milwaukee NEWS of the same afternoon says of the event: “It seems to be asdangerous to raise a house on Sunday in that place as it is to build one on the sand. But the house raisers can find consolation in the fact that the Lord chastenethwhomsoever he loved.” People in Port do not move houses on Sundays and consequentlynobody can get hurt.
