MFR. RS. ian Tassell Captures a Pair
of Thieves Near This City.

Early yesterday morning Mr.. Van Tas-
sci received word that two men, John
Gehm and Chas. Waller, had forced an
entrance into the barn on his ranch about
twelve miles from this city and stolen two
saddles, valued at sos each. The gentle
man knew the culprits and thought that
they could be captured and lodged in jail
without a great deal of difficulty. He at
once dispatched a trustworthy mar to To-
cate the thieves and awaited develop
ments.
In. due time the pursuer wired that the
thieves had walked to Archer station,
carrying their booty in gunny sacks, and
had boarded a westbound train but a few
minutes prior to his arrival at the place.
Mr.. Van Tassell Immediately mounted
his horse, rode to the quarantine yards
and took up a position in an isolated spot
in that locality. The train soon came
rumbling along, and as it passed a point
nearly opposite the water two bundles
we're thrown to the ground.
The train sped ON, and Mr.. Van Tassell
rode over aud viewed his saddles and fol-
lowed the train to the city. While en-
route he met the thieves, but noticing the
handle of a large six shooter p~rotruding
from the belt of Gehm, said nothing, con-
tinuing toward the city unconcernedly
until beyond sight of the worthy pair.
The rider then fastened home and arming
himself, quickly resumed the pursuit.
Upon sighting him again the thieves es.
sayed flight, but were soon overhauled.
The bearer of the young cannon objected
to surrendering, but was easily convinced
that in delivering the weapon he was act
ing wisely.
While several menJstood guard over the
burglars near the Cheyenne & Burlington
round house, Mr.. Van Tassell summoned
Deputy Sheriff Sharpless, who conveyed
the men to the county Jail.
The prisoners were very reticent, not
venturine a word about the affair. Gehm
is well known here, having been employed
at the Camp Stool ranch for some time.
Waller, who is a stranger, is a mere boy.

A THIEvING TRAMP.
Begs From House to HOrse and Robs a
Benefactor.

A burglar and sneak thief captured by
Officers ingalls, and Nolan last evening,
was spechless when incarcerated. Whisky
had tied his tongue. So hopelessly in
toxicated was the miscreant that it was
impossible to learn his name. He did
not even object when placed in the city
Jail, accepting the situation as a matter of
course.
Yesterday noon the man visited several
residences on West Twentieth street beg
ging for food. He must have been very
hungry, for when the neighbors after
wards compared notes it was developed
that he had partaken OF hearty meals in
no less than three Kitchens and carried
away supplies donated by five other chart
table persons who never forget the story
of the entertainment of an angel IN
awares.
The last place this hungry man from
abroad visited was the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. David Smith. While Mrs. Smith
was attending to household affairs the
guest embraced the opportunity afforded
to seize all loose valuables in sight and
conceal them 10 one of the rents in his
raiment which served as a pocket. The
booty included two gold chains, a locket,
breastpin and three gold rings.
Mrs. Smith noticed that the fellow
seemed to curtail his consideration of the
meal given, but attached no suspicion to
the circumstance and did not discover her
loss until more than four hours had
elapsed. The police were ut once notified
and searched for the thief with the above
result.
From the description given, the officers
found the trail of the man without diff
Guilty, but were becoming discouraged when
their attention was drawn to a small but
excited gathering on Sixteenth street.
They fastened to the spot and discovered
the wanted man In the center of the
group. He had, since robbing the Smith
residence, stolen an overcoat. The owner
Of the garment was recovering his pro-
perty when the officer approached.
With the exception of two rings the
stolen property was recovered. 1t is
more than probable that the articles
still missing will also soon be found.

TRIBUTE TO JUSTICE.
Eloquent and Wcil-Timed Words of Gen
erai John u. Henderson, In the Supreme
Court of the Emitted states.

ertI John ". ii~nderson In the Supreme
Court of the Emitted states.
WASHINGTON, April 13.-Genoral John
II. Henderson, of st. ouis, concluded
legal argument before the Supreme Court
of the United States one day this week
with tribute which has occasioned not a
little favorable comment. 1t was tribute
particularly appropriate at this time, and
is deserving of wider circulation than the
utterances in the courtroom gave it.
General Henderson's words were as fol-
lows:
"May it please your honor: These evil
dences of debt constituted contract
in the State where they were made.
The local law recognized them as
binding between the parties. The
instruments came here with the ildorse-
ment of local judicial sanction. We
have before us the standard by which the
parties themselves measured the. obliga-
tions OF their contract This Court will
not now change that standard. 1t is the
especial glory of this tribunal that local
influences can not here turn aside tho
currents of Justice. In this world moth
ing Is immortal but truth. The monu-
ments we build OF brass and stone finally
molder and decay. The eternal princi-
pies OF Justice take new strength ana luS-
ter from the lapse of time. The stone tab
lets on which the decalogue was inscribed,
no longer exist, but the Ten Command
ments still remain in perfect moral gran
deur, teaching man his social duties. The
Roman forum is well-nigh gone, but
Roman law survives in all its beauty and
in all its beneficience, and so will
live, hope and believe, tho decisions Of
this court. For nearly quarter OF cent
rry, in modest way, | have argued
causes before you, and in that short period
| have witnessed many changes In the
personnel of this court; but no change
have yet seen in the wisdom and learn
ing OF its decisions, or in that unerring
certainty with which they point to the adj
ministration and establishment Of Justice.
II is because of this that they have re-
ceived the stamp of judicial authority in
all the nations Of Christendom, and il is
because of this that they will live when
this magnificent structure, in which they
have been delivered. shall have sunk into
undiStin npuishahia duSt -

A SemnoIent Phenomenon.

BUFFALO, N. V, April 1i.-For some
time the village Of Attica, Wyoming
County, has been greatly excited over the
case of Il young woman named Emma
Tombs who goes into frances the length Of
which she tells beforehand. She has now
been in a trance lasting over thirty days.
Emma sank into her present sleep one
month ago Sunday, March III. She had
lain wide awake eight consecutive days
and nights, r;aking during that time of
more nourishment than in all the six
months of her previous trance, the amount
being about glassful OF milk ad-
ministered in teaspoonfuls. During her
presenttrance the physician who calls daily
has managed to force between her lips
few teaspoonfuls of the liquid, but this
is difficult feat, as she rarely parts her
lips. When closed, her teeth are firm q s
a vice, any effort to pry them open prov
ing useless. She lies almost perfectly
still, her arms and legs being perfectly
white and cold, and pulse very faeble, be-
ing rated, in the absence of chronom-
eter, at sixty-fve beats per minute. The
face is the only warm part of her body,
being flushed, with alternating fever.
When, some time ago, she predicted
to the reporter she would sleep thirty
days and perhaps longer, she did SO with
out the least hesitation.

The sensation that was caused by the
elopemcnt Of the young couple, accom-
panied 70 Baltimore by Mr.. Antonio
&&gu<rnavson Of tho Portuguese Minister,

II was tho talk OF society for week,
when fresh impetus was given by the
filing of bill for divorce in the name OF
Bessie Hillyer Bulkley, asking that the
marriage be declared void. alleging that
undue influence was used to effect II, and
that Mr.. Bulkley was under age at the
time.
To this there came number OF denials.
Mr.. Nogueras stated that Miss Hillyer
seemed TO be acting Of her free will, and
Rev. Mr.. Ferguson, the Baltimore clergy
man who performed the marriage.
said that he failed to sec any
constraint In her actions. The
county clerk in Baltimore said that
young Mr.. Bulklcy had declared he was
of age. Mrs. Bulkley had returned to the
residence OF her father after her mar
riage, and rem lined there until December
20. On that day IA conference was held at
the Office of II. C. Cady, in this city, ut
which young Mrs. Bulkley appeared, ac-
companied by Senator Stewart, a friend
of the family, and young Bulkley. Then
the case was finally laid before her for
decision. II was shown how her father
was opposed to the marriage, but shs was
told to take her choice OF husbands. -
II shall go with Grassie," she declared
and the young couple left the Office.
They went to hotel and remained a
week They then went TO live at a private
residence, but the bride remained but a
few days, going home, where she has since
lived. The family and friends refraincd
from giving any reason for the step,
which was said to be final. twas stated
that divorce proceedings would follow.
Young Bulklcy refused to discuss the
matter. The family are especially sor-
rowful on account of the peculiar circum-
