/ Early yesterday morning the police
officers made another examination o
the old salt house, and discovered
the pipes and other articles that hat
been stolen from Ed. Harris on Sun
day night. They were wrapped uI
in an undershirt. the counterpart Of
the ones mentioned yesterday as being
found, and which answer the de-
scriptlon OF the goods stolen from
EOgdeD. The discovery of these ar
ticles proves the correctness OF the
belief OF the officers that these are
the fellows that went through Mr..
Harris place.
Yesterday morning the birds we're
brought from the cage and taken be-
fore Judge Piper. They claimed that
the pistols were their own property,
but denied knowing anything what
ever about the pipes. Judge Piper,
however, was OF the opinion that they
did, and therefore bound them over
in the sum of s., 900 each for robbing
Carriers store, and in $500 each for
breaking into Harris place, the bonds
amounting to 81, 500 each, which
we're not furnished. The Ogden parties
whose places were burglarized some
time ago, we're yesterday notified of
the discovery Of some OF their goods,
and they will come down and identity
them; it is therefore probable that
these knights OF the jimmy will be
bound ever on still another charge.
Yesterday mornings Tnb. came
out in long screed about the Harris
robbery. and Wsnnd up by giving the
police a csbalistic thrashing because
the guilty parties had not been dis
covered. The article was sneering,
low and unfair, and not a word was
said about the capture Of the thieves
for the very good reason that the
Sherman youth knew nothing about
il. While he was writing up his
srtice, abusing the police force.
the parties were being arrested, and
the HERALD commissioner was max
ing himself acquainted with the facts
80 as to inform the readers in the
morning. The youth need not cry
out that the police hid it from him
and gave 1t to US. as the scribe OF this
Journal knew about the whole affair
before the arrests had been made,
and not solitary word was dropped
to him by one of the police force.
We have here another Of these start
ling and frequent exhibitions OF enter
prise on the part Of this great and
mighty" journal that pretends to
be a newspaper. The probabilities
are that they will whine this
morning, as usual in such cases,
about the transaction being kept
from them; but it is rather watery-I
we might say thiE-When it was
known on the streets by 10 O'Clock
on Monday night.
The Nel0S also comes cut and an
an ina1vertant omission of
the Harris robbery from itI columns
on Monday night. and publishes au
article as though it had been written
for Mondays issue. This is also
rather watery, as is illustrated by these
words: Last night this is supposed
to be written Monday We learned
that the parties had been caught and
were safe in JAIL" Which means
that they had been informed that the
arrest took place on Sunday night,
while in an earlier part of the same
article it is stated that the robbery
must have been committed between
noon and Monday morning"
they do not know which, but the
arrest was made on Sunday night.
Verify thereis an inconsistency here.
The fact is, our journalistic con-
temporaries we're badly scooped, but
have not the csndor to admit it.
