POLICE COURT

/ Judge Glenn was honored with visit
from three females of the dimi dimi pcrsua-
sion Yesterday, who kindly contributed SO
each TO help run the city-very kind.
Some bunglesonc burglar made raid on
two of the business men of the Fifth ward,
formerly West Wichita. night before last.
The plunderer visited Greaves & Son, where
they pried off a back shutter and entered
the store-room. Once inside, the party took
every little article which his cupidity fan
cied. The loss was not considerable, how
ever Next the thief went 20 the Office OF
the Milwaukee Lumber company. Here
the clerk, anticipating the probable noctur-
nal visit Of some footpad, had hung pre-
csutionary card on the knob of the safe
door, instruc,ing the intruder how to get
into ;he safe and requesting him not to mis-
treat any property that he might deem use
less to himself. Either the fellow could not
read, or he was without light, as he made
n regular mess of the books, tumbing them
about, and even breaking some Of the desk
furniture. This Was the third robbery in
Gresvos 4 Sons this winter.
One Of the most peculiar things in this
market is the grea. scarcity Of bran. For
over one month the mills here, though run
ming night and day, have been away behind
in their orders. So much so in fact that
families wanting small orders at ;stime have
great difficulty in getting the article at all.
Many are the theories advanced as to the
cause of this But we imagine that about
- 900 people within an area Of nine square
miles with COW 10 every family takes a
good deal more bran than 1900 did wear
