NINIrA, i. T., October 19.-An organized band
OF horse thieves have been this summer operat-
ing TN the eastern part OF the Nation. Since the
list OF May no fewer than twenty horses have
been driven out OF the country on Tuesday
night of last week a pair of valuable horses were
stolen from a stable within the city limits OF
this place. 1t is thought that the parties COM
hitting these Expectations have their head
quarters at n negro settlement on Grand river,
some twenty miles southeast from here. The
superstition is that when animals are captured
they are run west across the country some my
miles to another colored settlement on Light
ming creek. From that point the horses are
turned over TO confedcratts and taken TO West
ern Kansas, where they dispose of them. The
cattleneR and ranchmen I'm the country east Of
here are tired of these depredations. and unless
they are protected from thieves they will soon
take measures 10 protect themselves.

ANACONDA, June 80, 1888.
This time it was Martin Conaboy VIII" -
ceived the benefit of Officer Mckinney S tar
get practice. CanabOy was a resident OF
Deer Lodge for several months last winter
under the guardianship OF Sheriff McMa-
this, charged with petty larceny. Since the
expiration of his sentence he made this town
his abode and such are his proclivities and
personal appearance that he has a care by
day and night OF the authorities. Last
night a man was assaulted on Main street,
robbed of watch and money. He went to
q saloon near a thand all covered with dirt
and shortly after Conaboy appeared with
one knee all dirt az if he had knelt beside
some victim while in the act OF robbery.
His arrest was made at the time, but
toward morning, a party who had been play
ing "Stud" in a Main street saloon and
fallen asleep at the tables, became a victim
of Conaboy by having his pockets picked in
the presence of several witnesses. Just then
Officer Mckinney appeared on the scene
and invited the thief to 60 with him. lie
refused, threw off his coat and vest ana
started to run when the officer~opened fire
hitting him in the arm and thigh. Ihe
wounded man continued his f1lght put was
brought to a halt at the lower end OF the
town and escorted to the city bastile.
Sometime during the night Chinatown
was raided by a couple OF scoundrels, but
failed in accomplishing their purpose. 1t
SO happened that they were well known
and recognized by the Cinnamon and their
arrest will be only a question OF a lew
hours.
About eleven o'clock to to-day P.B. Nal
lory's team ran away on Frost street. The
driver and horses escaped injury but the
wagon was knocked all to "Sheol."
Our streets are thronged with citizens OF
Butte while the Methodist Sunday $4,000

A ~SacreligiOus CusS.

Sunday morning a man who gave ms
name as R. F. O'Connell filled himself with
bad whisky, and while in that condltion pe-
came nossessed with an insane idea that he
ought to devote a short time to worship
ping in the Chinese Joss house. Accord
ingiy he wendell his way to the temple,
which, much to his disgust, hefound locked;
This fact made him rather angry ana ne at
once proceeded to demolish bolts and bars.
Having effected an entrance, OConnelPs
reyerential mood seems to have left him,
and instead OF worshipping the craven
image he proceeded to sack the room in the
most approved style, and but Tor the
prompt interference OF an officer he would
in a short time nave made sad havoc with
the images and other contents OF the room
He was taken to Jail and yesterday APP
peared before Judge French, who fined HIM
$40 and costs for his fun. The amount
was paid and the man departed, wondering
whether he had not paid rather dearly fo1
his visit to the Joss house.

Prohibition Convention.

S%pRINGFIELD, Ohio, July 2.-The State
Prohibition Convention to-day nominated
A. B. Leonard for Governor.
The ticket was completed as follows:
Lieutenant Governor, Prof. w. q. Frost
of Lorain county; Supreme Judge, Gideon
Stewart, of Huron county; Treasurer,
John H. Hammer OF Stark county; Attor-
n9y- General, A. S. Gevinger OF Clinton
county,; Board OF Public Works, J.S.
Neville of Martin county.
The platform demands a prohibition
amendment and opposes the license, tax or
regulation OF the liquor traffic. 1t says the
friends OF prohibition should not be con-
trolled by either OF the old parties, be-
cause both have shown themselves sub
servient to liquor interests. 1t declares
that the rum power must be vanquished
by a new party devoted expressly to that
purpose. 1t describes the two wings OF the
great liquor ~party-one as advocating a
license and the other taxation and the
regulation of the liquor traffic leaving no
loyal cities any alternative except to join
prohibition party. 1t favors moral sua-
sion as a means OF reform, full protection
of the ballot. A resolution OF sympathy
with General Grant was adopted.

CITY GUARDIANS.
How the Members Of the Police Force
will Look on the Fourth.

The new police uniforms have been re-
ceived by Sands 4 Boyce and on Saturday
the members Of the force will appear in all
the glory OF blue and brass. The uniforms
are neat and tasty and cannot fail to add
materially to the appearance of the men.
The innovation is a proper one and will be
welcomed by the officers as well as citizens.
The clothes are the same as those worn by
the New York city police, and when the
preservers of the peace OF this city appear
with the lovely blue uniforms on, a common
person will not be able to touch them with
the proverbial forty-foot pole. The most
interesting thing about the new uniforms is
the large number of pockets that each ar
ticle OF clothing has. On the right side of
the coat are three pockets, one small
one on the outside to carry their whis-
ties in and two large ones on the inside
in which presents and cold lunches can
be carried araund without detection. There
are several other funny things about those
uniforms that one of the policemen begged
us not to mention, but one thing we will
say. The entire suit OF clothes is SO ar
ranged that if a prisoner should attempt
to resist the officer, by a simple touch OF a
little spring at the side OF the coat, the
whole uniform acts on the prisoner like a
magnetic arrangement, aud for fOrty-eight
hours afterward he will be in such a dazed
condition, that he will not know whether
he had been introduced a lot Of dyna-
mite or an Internal machine, or
whether he was struck with Jack
LOgan's speech on civil service reform.
You can bet your sweet life that the new
uniforms are dandies, and when the terrible
"cop" shall first appear in them we warn
the boys not to indulge in too much Butte
City dewdrops.
On the Fourth the police will first appear
in their new clothes. and n of the force
informs us that they will march in the fol.
lowing order: Chief Mickeljohn, carrying a
miniature model of a new jail, with the in.
scription on it: 1.-THE way of the transgres.
sor is hard" Frank Mcdonald will come
next, bearing on his broad shoulders a
huge box with the words: "No escape fol
the wicked" painted in yellow letters. The
lovely twins, Reynolds and Dwyer, will
follow with the Goddess Of Liberty loung
ing carelessly and sweetly in a basket
which is borne by the two policemen. Rey.
nolds will have a tag pinned on the lappe
of his coat with the words: "Im gentle
but oh, Lord; amt l bad?' Dwyer viii
have stuck in the top Of his hat a pink
colored card bearing these words: Il shall
always care for the fatherless and the
! widow, especially the widow" Messrs
| Hutchinson and Carroll have not Informed
us what part they will take in the process
sion, but we can assure our readers thai
| those two worthless will not be behind theil
| fellow sinners in the way of make up ane
show. Hurrah for the Butte City police.

The Storm.

The storm ofyestesday afternoon, though
If brief duration and OF not much conse-
ouence for rain fall, stayed long enough TO
nroye itself rather an unwelcome vlslGor'
and most people drew a sigh OF relle1 when
they appreciated the fact that it had passed

nhere was overcharged with electrlclty'
and the people on the street each saw the
bolt as it descended or apparently 80, under
different vehicles in sight, and blinded by
the flash. naturally they recoiled before
the awful glare. In IL moment came the
second bolt almost as near and 1t scared
neople who were indoors especially IN places
where there were telephones, Tor slmuit;t.
Moons with the flash there was, in each OF
the places, on the upper circuit, a report
"A loud as a pistol shot from the lnstrn.

Of the lightning and fortunately the only
damage as far as a be ascertalned was

For this the people have reason to ID
