RICHARDS-At the residence OF her par.
ents, this Sunday morning, At I O'Clock, of
congestion OF the lungs, Martha Belle, young.
est child of John +. and NJ. A. Richards, aged
ten years and four months.
The many friends of the family will
be deeply grieved TO learn of this great and
irreparable loss, which, being sudden, and
almost entirely UNEXPECTED, makes it dou-
bly, the greater. Little Belle was taken
sick yesterday morning, . physician being
called in about IL O'Clock, but human en-
deavors were of no avail, and the eweet pa
tent slowly but surely sank until
the dark wings of the angel of death
spread their dark pail over the household
and the darling and sunshine of the house
was no more. So swift were the SUMMONS
that the family had hardly time to realize
the peril until the eupreme movement
came-until the life and light OF the FIRE
hide had winged her way to the haven of
rest secure forever from the pain, the suf.
firing, the trials and troubles of
tie world. The many friends
Of the family will mingle
their team with those of the stricken rela-
lives; the schoolmates and child compan-
ions Of the little one will greive that she is
not among the living, and will erew flowers
upon thecasket containing al that il mortal
q the loved one. The fu,ersl will take
place Tuesday, the 18th, frem the family
residence, North Esplanade, corner Miami
street. Friends are invited to attend.

BNGGED THE GAME.

The Police Arrest An Atchison Thief
On . Telegram The Teil.TaIe
Tracks In the Snow.
Yesterday afternoon Chief of Police
Moonlight received a telegram from Chief
of Police Benning, of Atchison, asking him
to arrest young man named Henry Car
ter, about twenty-three years old, who
would arrive here on the 4 p. NJ. train. 1t
was nearly time for the train to arrive,
when the chief received the telegram, and
placing it in the hands of Officer Wohl-
heater, he sent him at once to the union de-
pot, but too late, az the train had arrived
and gone. Officers Miller and Yerkes were
9; the depot when Officer Wohlheater ar
rived, and rs they were told that the
man they were after had got of the train,
they began the search. On the west side Of
the depot, they found tracks leading to .he
house of i'll repute at the southeast corner
of Choctaw and Main streets, known ark the
Rosebud" kept by Maria Bland, and fol-
lowing them up they discovered their man
In the bar room, he having been there but
= few moments. They took him in custody
and marched him to the station
honse, when Chief Of Police Ben
ming was telegraphed that the man he
wanted was here. Thirty three dollars and
twenty-five cents was found upon his per-
son. Carter is well-known here, having
lived in this city for many years, and left
here last August for Atchison, where he
has been living ever since. His parents re-
side here. The crime for which be is
wanted is the theft of S34l5 from = lsun-
dress in Atchison with whom he had been
on intimate terms. Carter played it very
sharp in getting away from Atchisou, buy
ing his ticket at the depot there fer this
city, after which he walked to Oak Mills
station, baking the train there and coming
here. Carter is q young man of the flash
variety, but the probabilities are that TOR
some time to come he will wear clothes
loud ennugh to suit his fastidious tastes,
a. his oHense comes under the head Of
grand larceny and entities him to resi-
dence in the State penitentiary.

IL IL f0und Forty Feet Deep In ihe
Qnicksand-Bnried SIX Months and
NJ Last Recovered.
Mention was made in The TINES during
the summer Of a singular accident which
occurred on the Kansas Pacific road at the
bridge crossing Kiowa creek, forty-two
miles east of Denver, in which an engine
attached TO a freight train went through
the bridge into the bed of the creek, in
stantly disappearing in the quicksand and
battling all attempts to recover it. For the
past six months the search for the missing
locomotive has been kept up, resulting in
success two or three days ago, when it vas
found buried forty feet deep in the quick-
sand. The sand had been removed for .
great number of yards around the scene of
the disappearance of the engine, . by
drsulic ram being used, the locomotive be-
ing found at last after search of six
months. The instance is one Of the most
remarkable on record.

In the seventeenth chapter OF the book OF

that which was right in his own eyes. No

An Assured Fact.
The canning factory project, which has
been mentioned before in The TINES, is
now solidly on its feet, to be in complete
running order as soon as the canning season
opens. The project is being taken hold of
and carried out by Mr.. W. II. Bidgood,
late of England, brother of Mr.. j. W. Bid
good, of this county, who has the necessary
capital, energy and goaheaditiveness, and
will push it through to successful issue.
Capitalists from other parts have been in
the field with offers to start the enterprise,
and there has been no lack OF bidders. The
Wholesale and retail dealers of the city
have guaranteed Mr.. Bidgood to the
amount of $4,000 or $4,000, in the pur-
chase of canned goods, which will, Of itself,
insure the success of the enterprise. The
timing work will be done here, and in
fact, everything in connection with tine
factory will be done here. The enterprise
is already an assured success.
