A span of horses belonging'to Mr.. BellSSr..
who lives two miles east of Solomon City, vert
stolen from his stable last Saturday evening.
Mr.. Bell owned n very fine span of horses
which had been driven by his son-in-law that
day to Mr.. Belrs. Jr. who lives ut Abilene. The
son-in-law was detained over that night. which
was very fortunate circumstance, inasmnch
as it Is supposed the thieves had in view the
stealing of this team. 1t is thought that the
thieves entered the stable through window,
rs the stable doors were invariably locked and
secured against entrance in that direction. On
the next day, many parties mounted their
horses and secured the country in search OF
the thieves, but no track Of them has as yet
been discovered.

Edrly on Monday evening, quite heavy
thunder storm broke over she city accompanied
with heavy wind. We say it was heavy
wind, after witnessing the damage it did.
Hardly any one, however, was conscious dur
Ing the prevalence Of the Storm that it was
anything more than ordinary. The roof on
the wet side Of the Catholic church was
blown partly away, shingles. shecting. raflers
and all. The pieces OF the wreck were scatter-
ed about on Ninth street at 4 considerable dis
tauce from the church The Windmill for

approach to the bridge, Oh the east side. was
blown to pieces, and Il horse stabbed there, be-

THE trial of w. Page McCarty for the
murder of John B. Mrodecai in duel near
this city, on the 9th of May, 1878, was
concluded Saturday, in the hustings court,
when the jury fined the defendant $500
for involuntary manslaughter. To-day the
Judge of the court added six months i'm
prisonment to the other finding Of the jury.
1t is probable that Mr.. McCarty will be re-
leased from the Imprisonment by action o.
the Governor. An entire absence of the
duello as mode of redressing wounded
honor is not just now possible in Virgins
as our society is at present constituted
