GERONIMO AGAIN.
General Miles Reported to Have Disobeyed
Orders in Granting Him Terms,

General Miles Reported to Have Disobeyed
Orders in Granting Him Terms,
WASHINGTON, Oct 1.-The official re-
port of Geronimo's capture was received
from General Miles Yesterday, and there is
great doubt if the Brigadier General gets
as much glory out of it at the hands of the
War Department as he has extracted from
the country at large General Miles had
strict orders to make Geronim0's surrender
unconditional, and had no discretion to
make any terms whatever with him. The
report received yesterday confirms the i'm.
preston that lie did allow Geronimo condi,
tons, and very liberal conditions at that
The War Department people are not only
astOniShed, but angry, at the assumption
Of authority General Miles has made, arc
he will be called strictly to account fol
the position he has taken. General Miles
action has given General Crooks friends
an opportunity 10 critcise the department
again for his removal from the Southern
command, as it is stated he had several Op
portunities to secure Geronimo on condi.
tiOnal surrender, but remembering his or
ders from the Department refrained from
accepting the same. If he had cared to dis
obey orders as Miles has, Crooks friends
say he could have had the chief Of the
Chiricahuas long months ago.
General Miles report is very long and
interesting. He devoted the greater por
ton to an account of the pursuit of the III
dams since he took command. He shows
how his campaign differed from that OF
GHnaraI CrOok The latter used friendly
Indians to fight the hoStiles while Genera
Miles pursued them with United States
troops using only few Indians as trailers

A BAD GANG.
Family of Thieves Unearthed in Kansas
DEMONSTRATIONS

A Family of Thieves Unearthed in Kansas
Their Depredatfons.
OLATHE, Kan., Sept S0.-About three
years ago three brothers by the name of
Hoff from Indiana settled in this county,
A. II. and Abe near Gardner each buying
well improved farms, and James buying
farm near Lenexa, while a brother-in-law,
George Kitchen, settled near Cherryyale,
in Montgomery County. About the same
time the depredations of thieves in the vi
cinity of Gardner became so frequent that
a number of citizens formed secret organ
izatiOn having for its object the ferreting
out Of the perpetrators of these outrages.
This organization was known as the Gard
ner Protective Association, and they finally
secured sufficient evidence to warrant the
arrest of A. II. Hoff. and the issuing of
search warrants to search the premises.
The search resulted in the finding of Cas-
sday sulky pillow which had been buried,
sewing machine which was hidden in a straw
stack, and several other articles which had
previously been stolen from various parts
of the county. When A. II. Hoff WAS ar
rested his brother Abe attempted to escape.
OuL was dIlEI q SIlCII cIldSc. JdilleS
HOf some time ago removed to Cherryvale,
near his brother-in-law. The Sheriff went
TO CherryvaIe Saturday night and returned
yesterday with James Hoff and George
Kitchen, and all four Of the men are now
in jail in this city.
Z. NJ. Stephenson, a man who has been
working for the HOffs, has turned States
evidence. Among other things which have
been stolen to which he cOnfeSses are
twenty-one bushels of clover seed, thirteen
head of cattle, a drove of hogs, and lot of
agricultural implements from around Gard
ner; fifty bushels of wheat from Spring
Hill, lot of harness from OIathe and a
Balm wagon from Ottawa, besides many
other smaller things. The HOffs went To
Wellsviile TO steal an organ from the
church, but found the instrument gone and
took couple of chairs out OF the pulpit.
They also took a clock and lot
of dishes out of a school house
where people were preparing TO
have festival. This man Stephenson
showed the officers trap door in the barn
floor, which, upon being raised, revealed
cellar pretty we'll filled with all kinds of
farming tools. 1t is said that TWO of the
Hofs stole the questions which the county
superintendent had prepared for the EXAM
inatiOn of teachers, and after preparing
themselves passed the examination ami
procured certificates. When dust was upon
the roads, TO hide the wagon tracks, they
would follow with br0Oms. The HOffS are
all unmarried, and the first clue was gained
frOm woman who one of them engaged
from Kansas City to stay with him al 81
per week. They had some words and She
left him. He at the time was owing her
ninety-four cents, which lie refused TO pay.
She went to Gardner and told some parties
that if they would go up stairs in the Hoff
house aud look IN a certain box they would
find some harness that had been stolen
short time before. This led to the arrest Of
The parties.

A Paying Practical Joke.

The Illinois Central Railroad Com
pany were lately, it is said, the victims
of practical joke. They bought some
land on which an Irishman had cabin
and three years lease. They gave
him $500 for his lease and agreed to
move his cabin to any place he might
designate. When the time came to re-
move the habitation he was asked
where he wanted it placed. ION the
banks of Lake Killarney, in Ireland, "
was the answer. At first he was
thought to be joking, but he soon con-
WINGED the railroad company that he
was in earnest He still lives on the
