They are reported to have burned paw mills and robbed stores north of ls. at the Crand River. At Grand Haven theyI the rnade repeated attempts to break into stores , •ned. shop.-. On Saturday of last week they\r made their appearance at the mouth of theruti Kalamazoo, and after looking about Horne.! and pUShed up south as far as the tanneries in iroin the town of Ganges, and on Saturday night [lav-. broke open Robinson Plummer’s store,.
