s-AcRILEGIoU THIEVES.
The Congregational Church Burglar.
lied of Missionary Funds.

Sunday night the pastors study at the
Congregational church was visited by
thieves. The door of the study commu-
n%icating with the Sunday school room was
not locked, but the baize doors of the
latter were fastened. The thief evidently
entered the main auditorium in the second
story, passed down the stairs to the
Sunday school room and then entered the
study.
On the mantle was a miniature safe
which contained the missionary fund of
the Sunday school. This safe was called
the Birthday box, so named because on
their respective birthdays the members of
the Sunday school gave to the missionary
fund as many cents as they were years old.
The safe contained between fifteen and
twenty dollars, and lying on the pastors
desk was the money received from the
evening collection. The thief took the
safe to the church parlors where it was
broken open and where Rev. C.. NJ.
Sanders found it yesterday afternoon.
The collection was also appropriated by
the thief. The extent of the loss is not
accurately known but will approximate
twenty or twenty-five dollars. There is at
present no clue to the sacreligious thief.

He Escapes From Jail and Takes TO the
Prairie.

Last winter a young man named Ed
ward Taubman robbed the Thomas hide
house of money, checks and drafts and n
buffalo overcoat. He escaped to Colorado,
but Deputy Sheriff McGonigle captured
him at Greedy by a nice piece of detective
work. He had a preliminary trial before
Justice Lee and in default of bonds was
bound over to the district court. Sunday
he escaped from the county jail.
AT the ting Taubman escaped the pris-
oners at the comfy jail were being pre-
pared for their breakfast. Sheriff Craig
was out of the city and Deputy Sheriff
McGonigle was also called away. Officer
Nolan was therefore called in to give the
prisoners their breakfast. He was told
that it was customary to let three or four
harmless tramps out of the cage for the
purpose of waiting on the others. These
prisoners carry in coal, remove slops,
bring in trays of food, etc. and as there is
no danger of these fellows escaping, the
officers are never uneasy when meal time
comes. Officer Nolan was instructed to
let these men out of the cage when he
gave the prisoners their morning
meal. Following his instructions he un-
locked the cage at the proper time
and spoke to the men to come out. He
did not know them personally and when
Taubman promptly seized a bucket the
officer supposed he was one of the men
daily employed in that work. When he
got outside Taubman dropped the bucket
and ran, but Nolan detected his escape
and called to him to halt. The command
was not obeyed and the officer fred at the
fleeing prisoner, but without effect. As
he had other prisoners to watch Nolan
could not at once pursue Taubman, but as
soon as possible pursuit was made. The
search was continued Sunday and also
yesterday, but thus far the convict has
eluded the officers.
The escaped prisoner is % years of age,
and is 5 feet G inches in height. He has
small dark eyes, a dark complexion and
wears number 9 shoes. When he escaped
he wore a dark sack coat, dark pants and
a small, round-crowned soft hat. Sheriff
Craig has offered a reward of $50 for his
capture.
Taubman has friends and relatives in
this city and it is quite likely that he is
hiding, although it Is believed he fled to
the prairie when he first escaped.

an ESocH ARDEN.


The summer Of 1882. A change of
troops had been ordered and tho cavalry
stationed at Fort Russell was transferred
to Arizona. IAN aboard shouted the
conductor, the bugle rang out with the
notes of the last CALL" again were
farewel's said, there was a final
shaking of hands, a waving Of hand
kerchiefs, and the train bearing the 3rd
cavalry slowly steamed way from the
depot in this city.
Among those who were aboard Of the
train was William Glenn, a private of Co.
F. He stood on the platform of a car as
the train left the depot and waved his cap
to a woman who was a little aside from
the crowd and who held a child by the
hand. The woman waved a handkerchief,
the train suddenly swung around the
curve, and as it disappeared from sight
the mans last vision of his wife and child
was photographed on his mind as they
stood when the last farewells were sig
nailed.
Time passed and finally we again find
Glenn in this city. Sunday he alighted
from the Denver Pacific train. No wife
was at hand to greet him, no friend well
coined his return, and alone he plodded
his way to Dyer's hotel. To-day he will
seek legal advice in order to gain custody
Of his child.
Tborab,. bo,os n toI,
Glenn had been gone but a lew weeks
when his wife accepted the attentions of
other men. and in September of that year
she was actually married to n man named
Howard. The ceremony occurred at Salt
Lake and for two years and eight months
she has been known as Mrs. Howard. 1t
did not take Glenn long to learn what had
passed during his absence and Sunday
night he found Howard. The two men
discussed the situation in perfect good
nature and finally agreed that neither of
them wanted the woman. Glenn quite
naturally desired to have his boy, but on
that subject the men disagreed. The child
is now a manly little fellow, G years of
age, and Howard claims it because he has
supported it for nearly three years.
Glenn, on the other hand, thinks that he
has the best right to it. Although Mrs.
Glenn. or Mrs, Howard, may not be pros
ecuted for bigamy she will lose both hus-
bands and will probably lose her child.
Glenn is an old soldier. He is Al years
Of age and has passed the last twenty
years in the army. He is given an ex-
cellent character by his late officers. He
is without means, but has come all the
way from Arizona to see his family and
will doubtless have but little trouble in
getting his child. Mrs. Howard and her
latest husband are still in the city, and it
is quite possible some interesting develop
ments will occur before the various com
plications of the case are all settled.

THE Storm.
A Day Of Rain Ending in binding
snow and Sleet.

Two years ago Sunday is a date which
many cattlemen will remember, for the
unusual storm which occurred at hat time
created sad havoc among weak cattle and
young calves. This years anniversary Of
the day was cloudy and disagreeable, but
only a mist, which was hardly a rain, fell
during the day. Yesterday the hardest
rain of the season occurred. Rain fell at
intervals during the afternoon, and in the
evening it fairly poured for an hour or
more. About 1880 O'Clock at night the
rain changed to sleet. At II O'Clock snow
was falling steadily, and during the
night the storm changed from
snow to sleet and from sleet to snow
again. At l:S0 o'clock this morning
a terrible blizzard was raging. Snow fell
in binding sheets and astrong gale hurled
it with such violence that a person could
hardly go a block in the teeth of the
wind.
Like the storm of 1888 the present one
comes after several weeks of pleasant
weather. The grass is greening on the
ranges and young calves are being added
to the herds. The extent Of the loss
among weak cattle and calves will of
course depend upon the scope of country
embraced in the storm and its duration.

A FATAL MISTAKE.
A Little Child Killed by Eating Refuse
Table Scraps.

Little Eddy Moffat, the young son Of
Walter Moffat, left his home on Eddy and
Eleventh streets Sunday afternoon and
went to the banks of Crow creek, near
the bridge, where it played with a number
of other children. While at play the
child found a lot of table refuse which
had been thrown out for hogs. The boy,
who was between three and four years old,
was too young to realize the nature of the
refuse or the danger it required in eating
it, and so ate a large quantity of orange
and lemon rinds. A severe CONGESTION re-
suited and DR.. Rocker was called to the
bedside of the sufferer, Everything that
medical skill could do was done for the
little one, but nothing could save the
child's life, and in a few hours it was
dead.
The funeral was held yesterday after
noon and the little one was laid away in
the cemetery.

Barrios, who is a bright and promising

ment of his Hotel.
At 10 o'clock to-day Mr.. T. j. Fisher
will take charge Of Dyer's hotel and will
conduct that popular house.
Hon. T. Dyer has conducted the hotel
for seventeen years, and retires from ac-
tive business with the esteem and respect
Of the business community. Mr.. Dyer
and his family will remain at the hotel for
a few days until a suitable residence can
be obtained for their use, and it is quite
probable that he will build one during
the summer. He will give his attention
to his large live stock and ranch interests.
Mr.. Fisher, the lessee, has managed
the Union Pacific hotel at Green River
and recently retired in favor of the Pacific
hotel company. He is spoken of as a
practical hotel man and one who will con-
duct the hotel in a first class manner.

A Judgment Against price Il jerks for
$4,000.

$4,000.
A suit of the Dakota Stock and Graz
ing Company against the well-known firm
of Price & jerks has just been decided at
Sidney.
The Omaha Bee says this action arose
from a contract of sale by the defendants
ofthe Chaldron creek rancho to this
plaintiff and was brought to recover the
sum Of 5000. 1t appears that in 1884.
the plaintiff, agreed to give for the ranch
the sun of$76,000 and the offer was ac-
cepted by the defendants. The sum of
$4,000 was to be raid down, and the re-
mainder, SIG 1000, when the ranch should
be turned over to its purchasers, six
months afterward. 1t was also agreed
that the running expenses for the six
months should be paid by the company.
When the time for delivery had come a
bill for $500 was presented as the ex-
pense account. The company refused to
pay this amount or the balance of $26, 900
unless actual delivery of the ranch, its
stock and a-ppurtenances was made. The
defendants, being in Cheyenne at this
time, refused to comply with the demand,
and the plaintiff elected to reseind the
contract and sue for the paid purchase
money. To the plaintiff petition an
answer was fled denying the refusal to
deliver and setting up a counter claim
of $4,000. the balance of the purchase
price.
The trial of the cause lasted five days
and on Tuesday night last was given to
the jury, which after celebrating thirty
six hours, returned a verdict of $54,733
for the plaintiff. The property of the
defendants on Chadron creek ranch is now
all under attachment on the ground of
non-residence.
This suit was tried at last November
term and a mis-trial was the result, the
jury disagreeing.
A motion for a new trial has already
been filed, and if oyerruled, the case will
in all probability be taken to the supreme
court on a writ Of error.
