How a Team wasTaken and How II
Was Hec0VeFPsf


Theodore W. Hanf, the jeweler, Monday
evening hired horse at Hanson's livery
stable and drove across the Brandywine,
where he hitched his horse before q house
near the tollgate. When he came out. a
few minutes later, his team was gone. AT
first he thought some one was playing a
joke on him, but as the team was not re.
turned within reasonable time he made
inquiries. The tollgate keeper told him
that man had passed through the gate
with team such as Hanf described and
had purchased turnpike ticket for
Chester.
The police were notified both here and
at Chester, and MIR. Hanf secured another
team at Hanson's and, accompanied by
George Corson, started after the missing
outfit. On the other side of Penny hill
they met the team they were after head
ing toward Wilmington. They seized the
stolen animal and bound the driver with
o strap, bringing him to Wilmington and
handing him over to the police. The
man was intoxicated.
He was given hearing before Judge
Cummins Tuesday and gave his name
rs George Hoffman, living at Twelfth and
Lombard streets. He said he was drunk
and took the horse for the purpose Of
having ride; that he had no intention Of
stealing ii and was OH his way back wher
he was met by Mr.. Hanf. He was hello
in 5000 bail for court.

TOY appropriations
a meeting OF the levy court Of New
Castle county was held at the courthouse
in this city, Monday morning, ali the
members present and President Taylor
presiding.
DIR O. Harlan, George G. Lobdell and
Joseph u. Carpenter, Jr., committee
representing the Ferris Reform School,
presented an appeal for an appropriation
for the support of the instituii,n. The
paper stated that the income arising from
the Investments held In trust for the
school were insufficient to meet its oper.
ating expenses, and that as II save the
county considerable expense by caring
for oulprits that would otherwise be d
charge upon the county, it was deserving
of an appropriation. The school now has
IL inmates. The paper was referred to a
committee consisting Vt Messrs. Hickman,
Haman, McCracken, Mackey and 10y.
A communication from the s. l.. q. c.,
asking for an appropriation, was referred
to o COMMITTEES Of fiye-Messis. Toy
Maokey, Shallcross and Rothwell and
President Taylor.
County Treasurer Herbert addressed
the court in relation to the tardiness Of
the tax collectors. OF the levy of 1926, DOC
only $4,000 had been handed over to
him, and unless the collectors are more
active he cannot honor the drafts of the
members. He said St. Georges hundred
gave him much trouble, as whenever ht
speaks to the other collectors they inyari
ably ask why he does not go for the st.
Georges man. No action was taken.
The official bond of William B. Mccoy
collector of New Castle hundred for 1885
was ordered to be satisfied.
The resignation of John B. Price, in
spector for East Brandywine, WAS reat
and accepted. Columbus Watkins wa,
elected inspector for East st. Georgei
hundred and Nathaniel Williams for Wes
st. Georges. The appointment of othei
inspectors was postponed until Monday
next October 18th, to which time tn,
court, after disposing of some routin,
business, adjourned.

Father Kel,e, 70 Depar..

The Rev. Benjamin ]. Kelley win leave
Wilmington in the near future to assume
charge of church at Atlanta, Ca, in the
see OF Savannah. He had concluded to
90 sooner, but when the date for the con-
secration of Bishop Curtis was fixed
he decided to remain until that
event should take place. Father
Keiley's relations with Bishop Becker
have been of the most intimate nature,
and il was at the bishops request that he
determined to take this step. Father
Carey, formerly of Easton, Md, has been
connected with st. Peters Pro-Cathedral,
in this city, for about two weeks
past, and, il is understood, will be
the successor to Father Kelley,
al least until the new bishop is
installed. Father Kelley has boon at the
head of the temporalaffairso of this diocese
since Bishop Becker has been transferred.
Father Carey will be the principal as.
sistant to Vicar General McGrane until
Bishop Curtis assumes control.

Associated Press Dispatch by Special Wires
CHICAGO, Oct. l3.-Simon Ryan, o
cattle owner and milkman, secured an in
junction against Commissioner Dewolf
late yesterday afternoon, restraining him
from st jpping Ryan's business In any
way. Ryan owns 1854 head of cattle
valued at $l5, 900, and is the first to begin
litigationAn the milk controversy. Ryan
represents that it costs him $50 day to
feed his cattle at these distilleriss, and
that all his worldly possessions sreinvested
in his cows and the only revenue he de-
rives is from the sale of their milk. His
sheds are daily cleaned by capable SER
wants, and the cattle ore fed with the best
hay and fresh, clean mash, the remains Of
choice grain or corn from which the
spirits have been extracted at the dis.
tillaries. All his cattle, he claims, are in
good and healthy condition, and the milk
they produce is of the best quality.
Mr.. Dewolf will file an answer to the
plea for an injunction to-day and thinks
the injunction will not hold. He will moi
modify his order regarding the sale Of
milk from the quarantined COWS.

murderer but could not find any trace Of

No possible motive can be assigned for

and bore an irreproachable character.
The couple, who were children OF wealthy
and respected farmers, had been married
