William Brown, arrested by Mcintyre Of
Mendoza, and lodged in the county Jail on
Jan. 18th for horse stealing, and now serving
out his six months sentence in the Jail, was
identified on Wednesday morning by James
Mulligan, a saloon aud livery stable keeper
Of Utica, n. Y, as Joe Burns, the man who
hired rig from his stables on August 10Th,
1887, and failed to relura.
Mr., Muligan began searching all through
the east in quest Of the thief and passed
him on several occasions in the city of Troy,
n. Y. During the search he unearthed
clue to the gang and followed it out, discov-
cred Brown was either the tool or leader of a
gang Of three, all living at or near South
Adams, Mass, and belonging to wealthy and
highly respected families. Burns ran the
horses off, and the others found market for
the goods, keeping them in pasture until
sold. The buggies and harness stolen were
reprinted and taken 10 the homes of the
thieves, who led their parents to believe they
had purchased them. The gang stole in all
seven horses in New York and Massachusetts,,
one in Saltwater and another IN Fort Ed
wards, n. Y, with two in South Adamss
Mass, being among the number.
Mr.. Mulligan gained knowledge of his
whereabouts through a paper in Schenectady,
n. Y, and says that the horse stolen from
him, with the rig, was worth 1925, and that
the other horses were also valuable.

At last! In her onward march towaaa me
goa! of glory Ottawa has advanced pace
and boasts an artificial duck pond right IN
the heart of the city, east of the grand and
glorious court street gutter around the court
house, and in plain view of that temple OF
justice. 1t is on Court street. The gutter
around the court house is responsible for it.
Before there was a gutter there the water
quietly soaked away, and said nothing
about 1t. But now it absolutely refuses to
run up hill and absolutely insists upon
remaining in the middle of the road.
Indeed the city nigh, turn Court street

Ratified r. a. Ii,

The public, or as much Of it as CHANGED
to be upon the streets on Thursday evening,
was considerably surprised to see a brass
band, drum corps and dozen or fifteen
torch bearers, firing Roman candles, and
bowling for some one or something or other,
know one seemed TO know who or what, on
the march up to Washington Park. On in
vestigation, it was learned, from republican
sources, that the procession was Of the
- hired mnions' Of prohibition, on their
way to ratify the cold water nomination. The
platform was carried aloft by small boy.
The crowd of prohibitionists was not large,
but the anxious republicans who take milk
shakes with trimmings, sitting on the bal
cony circle Of the Park auditorium made up
quite a respectable attendance of anxious
spectators at least. Mr.. Kennedy of Chica-
go was the orator. who spoke against license
of any kind, high or low. Judge Kilburn
also offered few thoughts, and there were
loud cries for the new leader Of the party
hereabouts. Fowler, the Chase, but he
didn't show up.

Chas. A. Works of Rockford, for a short
time deputy circuit clerk of this county
under Holmes, now prosecuting attorney of

at Chicago, on Wednesday, by presenting

accompanying the gift by some facetious
remarks about tanning democrats there
