1t has for Il long time been acknowledged
by sewing machine men that no other ma
chine made at he present time can do as great
IA variety of work, and do it rs well, IS the Da-
Wis. So true Is this that, i'll order to compete
in many kinds of fancy work they have been
ob lged to apply the principles of the Davis
Il ichlnents to the attachments used on the

turcd under license g:anted by the Davis
Sowing Machine COmpnny.

atory messages, that the few who have not

strated that no one to-day denies it, that

Early yesterday morning the meat mar
ket of r. II. Geary, on the corner of
Seventeenth and Hill streets, was bur
glarized. An entrance was Elected
through the side door, on Seventeenth
street, the burglars evidently being sup
piled with skeleton keys, as no damage
was done to the door. Mr.. Geary was
at the market some time after II o'clock,
and everything was safe at that time.
Shortly after this he returned to his home
and knew nothing Of the loss until yes
terday morning. The thieves carried
away two large hams, weighing about
twenty pounds each, a lot of butter and
eggs, n lot of steak cut in the evening for
a restaurant, and relieved the till of about
81 in money left there for change. Mr..
Geary takes the loss philosopically and
has not the least idea in regard to whom
the thieves were.
A number of suspicious characters have
been around the city of lates begging on
the corners and having no visible means
of support. The police will look after
these characters fully.

This celebrated land case, which has
elected so much interest in the commu-
nifty, after having dragged along its
weary length for many months, and hay
ing been contested with so much vigor on

Thomas Ovenwny was arrested at Fort
Fetterman a few days since, by Sheriff
Reed, for discharging a couple of large
pistols p~romiscuously in the streets. When
arrested he was found at his ROOM, with
his family, in the government building.
He walked out in front Of the hotel with
a six shooter in each hand, discharged
them as rapidly as possible, to the terror
of the people Of the post. Ovenway is,
as he claims, a bad man from Texas, and
is nearly seven feet in height. He was

Migrants Sentenced and Other News Of
aLN Interest,"

...
The three Mexicans arrested a few DAYS
ago on a charge of being drunk and dis
orderly. had their trial yesterday before
Judge Lee. Shandy, the cripple was
discharged, but the other two. named
Shundy add Chabeas, were fined s. each
and costs. Not being able to furnish the
money necessary to liquidate the indebted
ness, they still occupy their old quarters
in the city jail.
Frank Roberts, Harry Sullivan, George
Smith and james Watson were before
Judge Fisher last evening on a charge of
being Migrants. The evidence offered
showed ~conclusively that the four gentle
men were common Migrants, and occupied
box cars at night for a room and obtained
their meals by the back door route. Wat
son was discharged, as he claimed he had
obtained a position in a brick yard in the
city and proposed to go to work this morn
ing. The other three seemed to have no
occupation or a chance Of securing one,
and the Judge very properly sentenced
each to twenty days in the county jail.
They will remain as guests Of Sheriff
Craig for that length of time.
Yardmaster Ong had his hen roost
robbed Tuesday of a number of chickens
and a large number Of eggs. Mrs Ong
is absent at present, and as his position
requires his presence at the yards most of
the time, Mr.. Ong had to leave his resi-
dence with no one present. He took the
precaution, however, to nail up his gate,
but this was broken open by the thieves,
and the chickens and eggs stolen. Yes
terday morning, near the residence, a
pile of ashes were discovered, around
which were strewn egg shells and chicken
feathers. The thieves were not discov-
cred, but the officers are watching a num-
Der of suspicious characters, who probab-
ly know more about the theft than they
may may care to tell.
A number of Migrants have been in the
habit of sleeping in cars in the vicinity of
the depot. Since the officers arrested
four Of the parties Tuesday evening, this
practice is liable to be broken up.
Officers Sullivan and Vim landed three
more Migrants in the cityj Jail this morning.
They will appear before the police magis-
trate to-day and give an account of them
selves
