    3. The LaCygne Weekly Journal Linn County Friday November 12, 1897 An exchange says that the relatives of a deceased Kansas lawyer put on his tombstone, among other things, "A lawyer and an honest man." A good farmer visiting the cemetery, was struck forcibly by the epitaph and said to a friend: "I wonder how they come to bury those two men in the same grave." Last Saturday night house-breakers entered the home of J.R. LEMEN in the east part of town and took a sack of potatoes, besides a few other things. On Tuesday night of this week the home of E.E. EMERY was broken into and a suit of clothes and other things were taken. It seems to us that this is becoming entirely too frequent and every person should be anxious to capture the parties and give them the law's full limit. This would soon stop the petty thieving. I. N. CROW this week has started several fellow out killing rabbits and squirrels. He is paying 40 cents a dozen for rabbits and 50 cents for squirrels.
