MAGISTRATES COURTS.

The preliminary trial of IT,, thieves who
robbed the hardware store at Derby and j.
L. Hodges dry goods store in this city, was
begun yesterday in Justice Walkers court.
The court presented a business-like aspect.
The county attorney and E. W. Walters, of
the firm of Walters s. Son. were there with
box of all manner of cutlery, including
pocket and table knives, razors. brace and
bits and variety of other things, spread out
on the table. taking an inventory Of them.
William Edgar Roof, the thief, who de-
clares he is the only one implicated in that
job, was present and appeared to enjoy the
thing very much. In fact he enjoyed the
thing more than any one present. He is the
checklist thief ever caught in this town and
don't deny anything. When the list of ar
ticles were read over to him together with
the prices, he objected to just one thing.
Mr.. Walters put some razors down at 81
each but the burglar said they were marked
only S1.50 on the box. Every thing else he
said was all hunkey. Mr.. Walters told him
that there were some better razors IN the
store than these. whereupon the fellow
laughingly replied that if he had known
that he would have taken them. he said,
by way Of advice to Mr.. Walters, "Old man
if you had your windows puttied I couldn't
have got in" He admitted every
thing and appeared to be quite anxious to
get to what will be his permanent home for
about five years. The list of goods in his
pile footed up SAG, which constitutes grand
larceny, and either that crime or that OF
burglary in the second degree, to which he
pleads guilty, involves term from one to
five years in the penitentisry. H. wanted
to know of the county attorney how long it
would be before he would be ready to send
him of. Jake told him he would try and
have him in the pen in about three weeks
and he ssid "All right" The squire told
him he would fix his bail at $1,000
pending his appearance in the district court,
but hs laughingly replied that he he didn't
care to spend that amount on himself just
now.
In conversation with an EAGLE reporter
he said that he is 10 years old and came to
these parts from Texas about three years
ago. He is daisy. He said that Charlie
Miller, one of the colored men who was in
custody suspected of of being in the job,was
| innocent and had nothing to do with either
of the jobs, in short was not a thief. This
fellow Roof is the one who got away with
Mrs. Furlong's furs. He is undoubtedly a
hard case.
Charley Miller was brought up after din
ner but was discharged, there being no
proofngainst him.
Sylvester Anderson, the black thief who
went through J. L. Hodges store. together
with his white wench. will be up today, and
there is reason for believing that the woman
will give the whole snap away. Anderson
will probably be another subject for G
good long term at Leayenworth.

SHE PLAYED HIM.

The semi-known correspondence spoken
Of sometime since in the EAGLE is booming
more than ever. The funniest part of all is
that some of them are maturing with deci3-
edly surprising results. Yesterday was .
phenomenal day in this business. For these
many weeks there has been letters passed
between two parties. The ore in the dark
was more and more led to believe be had
struck q bonanza and was guilty for once
in his life of making mash. His suspicious
ripened into o certainty and be was making
q favorable impression. Much to his sur
prise he received q letter . few
days ago in which the unknown
proposed to make herself known.
The plan for doing so was told in an ar
tistic hand.
"Will be at Mr.. - store Tuesday
evening at o'clock. Be sure and come and
I viii convince you who is the author of this
letter."
The above explains itself
At the proposed time our hero had dom
ned his conventional suit, and was at the
store, with cheeks red and auttering heart.
Presently non-assuming sort of fellow
stepped up to HIM and began to quote choice
selections. He had heard them before, or,
rather, he had seen them in the letters,
about the author of which he knew nothing.
The color no longer played on his cheeks
and his fond anticipations we're blasted. A
sell, oh! how complete.
1t is not ct all certain that the gentleman
who played writer on that occasion was
such, but if he was not he was sent by the
true author to play that role. It has been
suggested that lady wrote the letters, and
she was clerking in the store at the fatal
hour o'clock.
Yesterday q gentleman took reporter
into his private apartment and showed him
part Of letter. 1t was signed by Miss -
and written in very Feat hand. The fol.
lowing is a familiar quotation caught by 9
reporters eye as be glanced down the page
and was seized with evil intent:
alike Diana's kiss, unsought
Love gives itself, but is not bought"
The above will give an idea of the char
acter Of the letter, and in what frame Of
mind the writer pretended to be.
Perhaps when the one to whom the letter
was addressed learns the i'll fate of the las'
evening 4 o'clock gentleman he will lool
with suspicion upon further developments.
