THOMPSON, a 16-months old son of Mr. and Mrs. Andy THOMPSON died Friday night, from teething. He was buried on Saturday in the cemetery. ---------------------- Dr. Joel HOSTETTER and Miss Annie MARQUAND, both of Chetopa, were married on the 14th, by Rev. A.P. GEORGE, at the residence of the bride’s father. After an early breakfast the happy couple started via Galesburg, for Lawrence. Much joy go with and remain with them through life. --------------------- A bold robbery occurred here early Tuesday morning. The large iron safe at the K.C.L. & S. railroad depot was blown open and some tickets and other valuables were stolen therefrom, but no money. The thief or thieves were doubtless experts, as was demonstrated by the manner in which the work was done. Our people are thoroughly aroused and are determined to put a stop to these bold robberies. A reward of $100 by the city and another $100 by the R.R. Co., is offered for the apprehension and conviction of the thieves. --------------------- Dr. BROWN is having plenty of calls at present. --------------------- Page 3 -------- Mr. LOCKE has been quite sick, being afflicted with neuralgia in the head. --------------------- A child of Joe REED’s died suddenly one day last week. A postmortem examination made by Drs. BROWN and BARKER developed the fact that cause of death was congestion of the lungs. --------------------- Our people were somewhat startled on Monday to hear that C.C. NELSON, President of the new Bank at Osage Mission, had disappeared last Saturday night, taking with him all the funds deposited in the Bank, probably $25,000. The loss was not discovered until Monday morning, when the Bank was opened as usual by the cashier, and the vaults found empty. A telegram to Kansas City, reached the Bank there just as they were paying NELSON a check for $7,500 which was due his Bank. The money was retained, and NELSON disappeared, hiring a buggy and starting southward. The NELSON Bank had been running but a few weeks, but the people seem to have had unlimited confidence in it and deposited their money freely. It seems that NELSON has done business in several cities, and left under a cloud, and that his whereabouts was not known, until last week. An officer in company with a creditor suddenly appeared on Saturday, and NELSON fixed it up by getting several citizens to go on his bond fo! r $15,000, and who claim to be secured. A number of depositors have lost heavily, and the effects of this fraud will be felt for many years. Intense excitement prevails at Osage Mission against NELSON, and no efforts will be spared to capture him. Sam. F. DENISON, his cashier, is an old resident, and highly esteemed by the citizens, and no blame is attached to him. He receives much sympathy on account of the unfortunate entanglement. ---------------------------------------------------------------- The Chanute Times Chanute, Neosho County, Kansas Thursday, April 14, 1881 Page 2 A little girl of G. FRANKLIN’s near Defiance, was left alone in the house, and by some means unknown her clothes caught fire, and she was burned to death, last week. ------------------- The two-story dwelling of Mrs. BECK, in Osage Mission, caught fire presumably from a defective flue last Friday morning, and burned down.

Trial takes place today. ------------------- Las week John SHAFFER sold a horse to Frank BARNEY, went around the next day and borrowed it from Frank and took it over to a Mr. RYAN and sold it again for $40 cash, pocketed the money, and departed for parts unknown.
