A Lively Row.

A lively row occurred north of the rail-
road Friday night between . party of
white men and negroes. The white men
were pounced upon by about twenty negro
men, and beat and pounded in terrible

heads, but no shots were fired. The white
men held their owl for . while, but an ad-
ditional force Of negroes coming up and
taking hand in the fracas, forced them to
take leg bail.
1t is an outrage the way the negroes a.

The Inside Workings Of q Great
Border Conspiracy.

During the past ten or twelve years horse
stealing upon the western border, OF along
tina State line Of Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas,
Missorri and Arkansas, has been a profit
able and lucrative business. Thousands of
fine horses have BEEN stolen and run out of
reach, and comparatively few Of the thieves
have been arrested. The efforts made by
the officials Of the various border counties
to arrest the thieves have proved futive, and
to-day the nefarious business is being pros
ecuted with little or no check or restraint
upon the part Of the Law. The records Of
the Kansas City Police Court for the past
eight months reveals startling record Of
crime Of this character. The extent and
the immensely Of this contraband trade in
horse flesh can only be estimated from the
oficia, records on file at headquarters
They show = startling increase IN horse
stealing and a wonderful immunity from
capture upon the part Of the thieves.
