officers made for them, and took them in
custody, the one arrested by Meenan hav
ing the largest bundle, and also had in his
possession "pop." The officers marched
both men to the armory, where an eXami-
nation of the goods found in their pos
session was made. The largest bundle
was found to contain about $500 in coun
terfeit coin, dollars, quarters and nickels.
The other did not contain as much as The
former, and among other coin a lot OF
unfinished dollars were discovered. They
pleaded ignorance as TO the contents of
the packages, and said they had stolen
them from man whom they had left
asleep in the Gun Club park. The two
men captured gave their names as George
Williams and Fred Pope. They were
placed in the county jail and the
officers, accompanied by Deputy Marshal
Brennan, started after the third man, and
found him where their informants had
said. This man was placed in the Gala

erage annual value of each pension is

One notable feature which the Indica.
tor can and does most heartily commend
to the public in connection with the
sales Of thoroughbred stock to occur At
Kansas City during the eight days of
the Fat Stock Show, Is that they are not
made by side-showmen or camp-follow-
ers In the business, but by the very fore
most MEN Of the age In their particu-
lor field. The fact that the offerings are
animals personally selected-mainly In
Europe-or bred by such men as Hon.
M. H. Cochrsne, Hon. w. B. Ives, the
Geary Brothers, the Leonards, A. b.
Mathews, Ragsdale Il Garland, Gudgell
& Simpson, Estill & Elliott, Mr.. Adams
Earl and possibly some others of SINH
lar standing, is at once assurance that
no such opportunity was ever before sfY-
erded buyers for choosing from 90 large
collection Of the very best Of their
kind the world affords.
The owners of the black cattle espee-
tally, are thoroughly alive to the fact
that the throwing of 300 head of this
stock on the market here In one week is
an experiment well calculated to put q
very severe strain, not only on prices,
but on the standing Of and demand for
their favorites for some years to come,
and with that in mind each one is de-
termined that his offerings shall be thor
oughly representative of both the good
qualities Of the breed and Of his indi-
vidual herd. The same will also apply
to considerable extent to Herefords.
These facts, taken in connection with
the holding of the first Western Fat
Stock Show here at the same time and
place, will make visit here during the
first week of next month almost q nec-
essity to every stockman and farmer
who wishes to either see or buy improv-
ed stock.-Kansas City Indicator.

A case Of doubtful Jurisdiction arose
yesterday between MarshaIs Taylor and
Sweeny of the Tex. and Ark. sides of the
town, respectively, which would have
puzzled the judicial wits Of those omi-
nent jurists, Dogberry and Verges, and
worthy Of the opinion Of Capt. Bunsby.
They were sent for 90 arrest O man

they arrived discovered that the offeA-

ansas. At the feet had brought him 20
far but had not crossed into Texas, it
appeared Arkansas had Jurisdiction,
but as the will-power TO offend the law
was in the head and the head was in
Texas, 1t would appear that the offend
ing part Of the culprit was subject to the
jurisdiction Of Texas. As the offense,
however, was punishable by touching
the mans pocket book and the latter
was on the Arkansas side, it would ap-
pear that that state should alone take
cogisause. but a. the head could alone
make answer to the charge Of violated
Law. IL again appeared that Texas should
enquire into the transgression. In be.
half Of Arkansas, Swesny again argued
that II the legs were not drunk, the
mans violation of the law would not be
apparent, and that BY virtue Of ths
drunken lcgs, then and there, within
the Jurisdiction Of Arkansas, Mayor
Forster was entitled TO take cognizance
Of the case. True, replied Marshal Tay.

ordered, they should not be held ans
