a HORSE THIEvING GANG.

they are in fair way to break up one of the
largest organized gangs of horse thieves
that ever existed, and which is now operat-
ing the country between northern Illinois
and central lows. The largest fence or
place where the horses are
changed ana disposed of. is
located on a farm in Milwaukee county,
about light miles south Of this city. The
horses are stolen and run from all direc-
lions to this place. The keeper is a man
who always, OF course, has a large number
OF animals in his possession, and is much
respected in his neighborhood. He belongs
to and helps maintain church near by, and
Is noted for his generosity. But even his
neighbors, some of the shrewdest ones, are
beginning to suspect the man. His horses
come tohim so mysteriously, and he has
seldom been seen to buy an equine, while it
is known he disposes of them in large
installments. Half hundred horses have
been traced to near the place, but so far
not a single detective has been able to
make a case on the fence keeper, although
he has been suspected for some time, and
shrewd men have tried to fasten him.
The horses are clipped, colored and other
wise changed, so that they could not be
identified by any one.
AN UNFAITHFUL STEWARD.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.1
CHICAGO, April 23.-Wm. L. Church,
comptroller Of Hyde Park, is missing. and
so is $7,700 Of the town funds. Neither
Church nor the money has been seen since
Saturday, and then he was at the Illinois
Central depot, and is supposed to have de-
parted via that road. Week ago, Friday,
the committee appointed to audit Mr..
Church's accounts examined the vault and
found $4,601.40 there. Since then $4,000
has been received by him, and when the
vault was broken open, Saturday night,
only $40 was visible to the naked eye. An
examination of the books has shown that
the $4,601.4O, which was supposed to be
correct at the time, was $1,000 short, and
the supposition is that Church decamped
for fear of exposure. He has always borne
high character in Hyde Park, and leaves
wife and several children behind him.
A warrant for his arrest has been issued.

renee in 1S80,said that Spaulding, the trus
tee, on witness expressing surprise that he
should take the Office without salary, told
him that he, Spaulding, could control ina
portant contracts. On cross examination
an attempt was made to show that the char
acter of the witness as a minister was none
too good. Witness was asked why he left
the church, and became excited, moving il
threatening manner toward Counse
Brown. He said he left the ministry be-
cause he chose to avoid unpleasant situa-
tions such as he had been placed in in
Lawrence.
The state board of health and charlie
refused six to one to take immediate
charge of the Tewksbury aims house ant
voted to ask the supreme court whether tn
