Last Sunday while Mr. and Mrs. SALTER were visiting friends – the hired man remained at home in the meantime who was in the house - a little girl, giving her name as Mary HOFF, entered the house through a window. The hired man heard the opening of the window and upon investigating, observed this little girl enter and proceed directly to the bureau, which was in the said room, opened it and took therefrom about $15.00 worth in jewelry and money, and most anything she could lay her hands on. The hired man did not molest her in he least, but let her go all over the house; but when he noticed she got ready to leave, she stationed himself in front of the window by which she had entered, and waited for her to leave – she not for one moment suspecting that she was being watched, and for the first time when co! ming into the room where she entered the window the little girl observed for the first time that she was entrapped. Little Mary at once gave up all the articles she had taken and was let go home. The next day the father settled the matter with Mr. SALTER, who let him go off rather easy.
