It has finally been established to a practical certainty that the man Temple who was shot at Royal Oak last Sunday night, is none other than Demick Ganung and that he is the man who on Aug. 17. entered Henry Miller's house at 113 Mills st., and stole between $45 and $50 and a pair of pantaloons. Last Thursday P. W. Ross went over to Pontiac where Ganung lies in jail recovering from his wound aud while examining Ganung's effects discovered Henry Miller's knife among them. He then went and got another knife just like the one stolen and Mr Miller recognized it as being a fac simile of the stolen knife. Thus was the knife identified. An effort will now be made to find the money but that will be a more difficult task and probably it has been spent ere this. Ganung is rapidly improving and there is no doubt but that he will entirely recover. He no doubt will get a sentence for his house breaking in Oakland county of sufïcient length to send him into retirement for some years, but when that account is settled there will be another hanging over him, the robbery of Henry Miller.

It appears pretty certain that the other brother is now in jail at Ann Arbor under the name of Arthur Stark. He stole several bicycles here and has not been seen since he escaped from the officer. He is alleged to have entered the home of S. H. Dodge at the time he was in the stealing business taking thereform a wheel. Mr. Dodge was awakened and saw the fellow making his escape. Evidently the wheel he wanted be did not get. A valuable chainless wheel was usually kept at the house but it was left at the store on the night in question and the wheel taken was a small boy's wheel. During the night it was returned and placed on the porch. When these two rascals are placed behind the bars the community will breath more freely.
