WHOLESALE THIEVES.
A Regular Band OF Marauders
Supply the Local Butchers.

Recent Developments Indicate that
the stealing OF cattle in the Cherokee
strip south of Kansas City has been
carried on in wholesale manner for
the past six or eight months. A large
number OF hides have been identified
at Guthrie by prominent cattle men as
bearing their brands, and from the
confession of one party arrested 1t APP
pears that from six to len stolen cat
tie have been supplied the butchers
there every day. 1t is believed that
the thieves are regularly organized
and they have been supplying the
markets of Guthrie, Arkansas City,
Caldwell. Kiowa and the small towns
of Oklahoma with stolen cattle to u
large extent for some months. The
cattlemen have detectives at work.

THE BIRCHALL CASE.
Alleged Partial Confession OF the
Condemned.

The Toronto Globe published a SEN
sational story containing partial con-
fession from Birchsll regarding the
killing OF Benwell. Ii cannot be cred
tied that he has made anything like a
clear breast of the murder What he
has done and all that he has done thus
far is to make number OF half con-
fessional statements and to-day hints
and admissions which pieced together
forms tolerably coherent story. To
sum up, he acknowledged he was an
accessory. He confesses he took Ben.
well to Eastwood and in the direction
of the swamp, but he resolutely sticks
to IL that his was not the hand that
slew the victim. All through his
conversation since his conviction,
Birchall has insisted that he had an
accomplice. He has made 1t appear
that this accomplice was ayoung Eng
lishman named Graham, who at one
time lived with Birchall on the latter's
farm. No one will believe for mo-
ment that the charge against Graham
is true, and, furthermore, there is not
the slightest evidence TO show that
Graham was seen near the swamp

Daniel in the Lyons Den.

Some years ago poor Irishman living
in Virginia came into possession of an oil
painting representing Daniel in the
Lions Den, and as the painting was much
admired Pat thought he would travel
about from town to town and exhibit and
explain the historical points of his
picture. He stood before an enlightened
audience and explained as follows:
Ladies and gintlemin here is Deniel in
the lyons din, the large Sphace bechune
Deniel and the lyon is the din; they call 1t
the lyons din because it was the lyons
residence altogether. Av course the era
tur to the rare is the lyon himself and the
divil in him is rising at the sight of
Deniel and the fact that he had nothing
to ate at all for tin days, do not same to
make him willing to mind his own bust
ness and lit poor Denel alone. Thare
sits poor Deniel here, ladies and gintle-
min and there sits the lyon there. The
lyon is not afraid of Denie, not at all, it
is Denel that is afraid of the lyon, be-
cause Deniel knows if the lyon was to
bite him he would fale it rale plain. II
Deniel was to escape, the lyon would fale
rale sorry, but Deniel would fale a hape
betther The longer Deniel remains
the worse it for Deniel and the betther
for the Lyon. If Deniel should escape,
the Lyon would fale lOike one of us whin
the ChrishtmiSh churkey shud pity away
from the plate on the table and lave moth
ing but the cranberry sauce and the
plate; av coorse he'd be afther taking the
shutting wud him. Now ladies and GIN
tlemin, whin yez presint yerSilves here
chumOrrow avenin, I'll explain how De-
MEL escaped and whit down to Uncle I'M
erson and bought a WATERBURY watch
and gun, for he might mate the same
Lyon again, but not if the time on his
Waterbury watch would previ1t, and If il
should not he would have something wud
him to make it plisent for the Lyon.
