Mitchell Proparty Is Sold. Scared The Porch Climbers. Officer Kennon discovered prowl­ ers about Mr. J ; O. Barber’s resi­ dence Monday night about one o’clock. Upon investigation it was found th a t a ladder had been taken from the freight house and carried to the Barber residence, • The sup­ position is th a t the officer happened along just in time to frigbten the parties. There is no clue, - Hew Member Township Board. iy afternoon Mr. 0 . R . Creawell wa* oisoeeh a member, of that body.tosucoeed Mr, H* A. Turnhull, whs recently moved into the town district. A deal has been consummated whereby the Exchange Bank and Mr, J . C. Barker get the two pieces of property on Main street th a t are owned by Thomas Mitchell. The consideration was $2010. The new owners will divide the property as each has holdings on each side. The buildings will probably bt movedwitbina few months and a more modern structure erected. When Mayor "Wolford heard Mitchell* b first case as a resu lt of a raid under the search and eeiaurt law, th„e defendant’s attorney offer­ ed a compromise, th a t to withdraw the charge Mitchell would sell his property and leave town. This was refused and Mitchell was found guilty and fined. A lter tiie second raid Mayor Wolford held it charge against Mitchell th a t if found guilty meant a heavy fine. As Mitchell has beep a persistent violator of the liquor laws for the past forty years it was deemed best to cause him to Sell his property and leave town. Mayor Wolford would nob-witbhold the charge without the property was sold to responsible parties. The case was called last week but was continued until April 2, so that th a t the new purchasers and Mitch­ ell could arrange the pi iper paper's The termination of the case is re­ garded as the best th a t could bo and will result in the erection of modern buildings in place of two eye sores th a t have been a .disgrace tp the town.
