A DEN OF THEM DISCOVERED ATMINERAL POINT.THE GANG ARRESTED AND A LOT* OF PLUNDER RECOVERED.- ■ » ■ ■#The citizens of Mineral Point have for some time been awakened to the fact that quite a number of petty thefts were being committed, but no one in particular was suspicioned. Finally, on the night of Oct. 12, 48 cans of fruit were stolen, besides dour lard, butter and many other little articles. On the same night the out-house of Rob* Render was robbed of butter, milk, meat and tinware. This was more thau the citizens could well put up with,and a vigilance committee|was organized Saturday, for the purpose of finding a clue to the missing articles. Suspicion rested on John Deal, Ed. Deal and Charles Deal; but upon searching, none of the missing property was found on the premises, and all hopes of finding anything was given up. A sou of George Walter had been out with his gun, and in passing the house of Ed. Deal, he found part of the missing property in the ! woods, and at once proceeded to inform Mr. Furney. Furney repaired to the scene and found part of the missing fruit, besides thirteen pocket knives, two_ razors, a new basket and sack. The basket wrs indenti-fied as one belonging to the Deal family.
