Canwell, of Ann Arbor, is said to be about concluding a five-year lease for property upon which a building to be used as a rink will be erected at once. One of the vacant lots beionging to Richard Kearns, across the street from this office, scems in a fair way to be selected as the site for the rink.

The usual aniel of our city was disturbed Mouday niglit by a threefold robbery, beginuing, as it seems, with the taking of certain tools from Fred Alger's blacksmith shop. This was evidently followed by the tealiug f a horse and small bob-sled from Mr. Hutzel, the barn being broken into about twelre o'clock. Though everything could easily have been made ready for using both horses, but one was taken. The thieves then seeni to have driven over to Stimson's grocery on Aun street, on the back side of the building, and effecting an entrance by raising one of the windows, the}' loailed up a quantity of goods including cigars, smoking, plug and line cut tobáceo, all the butter in the store, about one hundred pounds, etc. Among other things, Joe. Stimson is minus a $15 overcoat, and a pair of shoes was taken. The money drawer was got at by unscrewing it froin the counter. It was then taken out back of the store and inventoried, possibly about thirty cents being found, as only a small amount of change was left in the drawer. It is difficult to say just what and how much was taken from the store, but so far as known Mr. Stimson loses somethiDg over one hundred dollars worth of goods. A brace and bit and saw were left in the store. This property belonged to Mr. Alger. A student in the telegraph school who rooms above the grocery and some others remember hearing a noise of some one walking and working below between twelve and one o'clock. The store was opened and the burglary discovered about seven o'clock yesterday ïnorning. No trace has been found as yet of the thieves. Later.- Chief of pólice, of Detroit, telephoned to Mr. Hutzel about eleven o'clock th3 ïnorning that some clue had been fouwd of the horse and bobs. At one o'clock word was received by Mr. Hulzel that the property had been found at Perkins's hotel in Detroit. The harness was missing, however, and as it was a poor one, the supposition is that the partles had gone to have it repaired. The horse and bob3 were identified by Mr. Mann, of Detroit, as belonging to Hutzel & Co. Titns Hutzel goes in to Detroit this evening. The early capture of the thieves seems not at all improbable.
