THE CHICi0o AND ROCK ISLAND moab.
The Report Of Business for the Year Ending
March 81, 1877, Dissectcd.

Tho report Of the Chicago Rock Island
and Pacific Railroad Company for the year end
ing March 81 1877, Is to be commended for the
frankness and fullness of its statements. al
though the form in which they are presented is
not always such as to afford an inexperienced
shareholder the information he requires.
The gross receipts of the road for the year
were Sc 81 7 .656. and the operating expenses.
including taxes, were ~. 533, 1914. leaving rs net
earnings, 1854 .iG2 Out Of this sum there
were paid for interest and rentals 100000. and
for dividends. amounting to ten per cent.
on tho capital stock. t2.007.9sO. This
leaves apparent surplus OF fi31.4S2;
but elsewhere we learn that 100000
were absorbed in paying interest on $1,000, 900
bonds OF the Chicago and Southwestern Rail
road Company guaranteed by tho Rock Island
company and $50 900 in improving It's road. 50
that the real surplus is only $4,000. For
railroad in these times to earn ten per cent. for
its owners IL doing well enough. and there Is no
need TO dcludo them with the false idea that 1t
has done better. These s5,OOO.0OO OF bonds OF
the Southwestern road are as much debt OF
the Rock Island Company as its own issues. and
they ought 10 DO represented as such in its
statements.
The balance sheet Of the company shows n
nominal credit to profit and loss Of sS.ls7 .j3i. A
statement in another place reveals the fact that
OF this sum i.G06. o35 Is made up OF worthless
assets. being mainly for advances to the bank
rupt Southwestern road. which now belongs to
the Rock Island Company and If the sj,0O0,0OO
Of guaranteed bonds Of that company were put
into the account where they belong. there would
be- instead Of surplus Of g. ls7. 53i. a deficiency
OF 81 il9iO1. This. again. would be- nm unfair
exhibit since n property that can earn ten per
cent. per annum on s20.00O,O0O, besides interest
on lis debt. certainly should be worth par on its
own books.
Another point that needs to be moro clearly
explained is the increase OF the construction ac-
count exhibited in this years report rs COM
pared with that OF last year. The balance sheet
OF March 81. 1876. gave these items:
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1877-06-29


In this years balance sheet these items arc

an increase Of t27s.sl2. Besides this, we find
one additional item. not in last years balance

Winnemucca, Chief Of the Piutes,

We learn from The Avalanche of
the 18Th that old Chief Winnemucca
aud some of his req subjects recently
paid II visit to Silver City. His pro.
fessed object was peaceful, and he
said he contemplated Il visit Ia the
Boise valley for the purpose of hoid-
lag grand pow-wow, looking to the
establishment of reservation on the
Owyhee river.
Mr.. AL. Thompson, who returne |
yesterday from the field of his sur
vey, Informs us that he saw Winnie
mucca, or the | dian which he sup
posed to be him, and that he has with
him about $50 armed warriors, unac.
com panied 10y women and children.
The warri ,rs were eucamped in vari-
Gus places. and he was informed that
the whole number Was much greater
than the body which he saw. We
see no cause for alarm in the APP
proach of these Indians provided the
paople are in possession of the facts
and on their guard. No confidence,
however, can be placed in the peace
full disposition or professions of old
Winnemucca, who has no business 10
tins valley There is no authority
here that can assist him in the mat
ter OF reservation on the Owyhee or
elswnere. Forewsrned is torearmed,

A LONG CHASE.
A Horse Thief Caught and Gagged.

The examination Thursday of
Charles Guimebeau before Justice
Hickey of Dayton, on a charge Of
stealing a horse. resulted in his
committal to await the action OF the
Grand Jury. II will be remembered
that about ten days ago a man went
to Benefits stable and hired horse
to go to American Flat, he said.
His return was delayed SO long that
he was suspected of stealing the
horse. The case was placed in the
hands of Sheriff Cooke. who be-
came satisfied, after Geographic in.
qniry to other points. that the
thief had taken the route to
Belleville, and accordingly set out
to follow him. When Sheriff Cooke
started lie was "a hours behind the
fugitive, and sickness proven ell
him travelling the first night out,
but Ivy hard riding On six changes
OF h ,rses he got into Belleville only
twelve hours later than the thief.
He got fresh horses at tue stations
on the road, bat they were general
ly inferior animals and were not fiji
for service further than the next
station. Thirty miles this side of
Brlleville rancher refused 10 fur
nish him II horse, and the Sheriff
had to threaten to arrest him a..,i
make him drive in with handsome
team he had, before his demand was
accedeh to.
Sheriff Cooke found that the thief
had already sold the horse. seddle
aud bride to Glen Ogg for S25.
To disarm suspicion as to the own
ership of the horse, he showed Mr..
Ogg a bill of sale of the horse. with
an italian name attached, and said
he had traded horses with that per.
son and got SIS to boot When
arrested he gave the name OF Chas.
Guimebean, ana it was fond that
he had already lost the money he
had received Tor the horse at the
gaming table. The Sheriff got back
to Dayton Tuesday evening with
horse and thief. having male very
succes-ful. though tirrsome, trip.
When Guimebean WIS brought
up for preliminary examination lie
said he had never been in Silver
City. aud 'riea 70 make it appear
that the man represented by the
pretended bill of sale had traded
the horse 10 him. Alfred Beunetts
positively identified him. however,
nv the man who had hired and took
the horse from the stable. His
identity was further proven bv
Sheriff Co ke,. Who found ON the
way oat where the accused hal
thrown away his old clothes aud
dunned new snit
The horse bears evidence Of hard
usage. SO far a. could be learned
Guiuebeau expended only 30 cents
at one place for hay and 25 cents af
another for barley, between Silver
City and Belleville but bs may have
stolen feed at other times. The
light shoes we're taken off the horse
ana replaced with heavier ones Oh

partially insured. A house close to
