Heather and Nelson Peterson, ` were
caught burglarizing a store in town.
They were committed for trial by
Squire Snell,: On Friclay they appear,

irn upon previous aus robberies. in

was connected. Constable Gundry at
once took steps to investigate, and, se-
curing sufficient proof to warrant him,
he on Tuesday arrested Phair. Sev-
eral revolvers and other anti: le were
.s er e
found in his possession, which had
been stolen from Oobbleclick's hard-
