Eagle
A QUEER INCIDENT.
Through the Instrumentality OF the Eagle Ed
Taylor Receivers His Fine Horse.

The usefulness of the press was demon
strated again Sunday morning by the dis
covery of Ed Taylor's valuable team of
horses and buggy through the instrumen-
tally of the EAGLE. Thursday night it
will be remembered one Fred Wilson went
into Ed Taylor's livery stable on South
Market street and hired team to go
about eight miles in the country to
visit sick friend promising to be back
at u o'clock. At that hour the team
did not return, neither did Fred. Wilson.
Thursday passed away and so did Friday
and the team or man did not show up.
Mr.. Taylor got out the usual postal cards
and sent them broadcast to all the peace
officers of surrounding counties offering
800 for the capture Of Wilson and the
return of the horses. These cards, of
course did no good, and the EAGLE in
Sts extensive circulation carried the
news to half the homes of South
ern Kansas Of the alleged theft.
Among the many others who read it was
John Busenbark of this city, who keeps a
livery stable just one block from Ed
Taylor's. When he glanced his eye over
the alleged robbery he bethought himsel
answering the description of that of Ed
Taylor's that was missing. He inquired
about it and found to his surprise and Mr..
Taylor's. surprise also that the tie am be-
longed to the latter gentleman. The facts
are these: When Mr.. Wilson arrived at
the home of his sick relative on Thurs
Gay night he found her critically
I'll and decided to remain with
her and sent the team back to town with a
boy. He described where 10 leave it rela-
tive to Douglas avenue, and as Mr.. Busen |
bark's barn is located similarly to Mr.. |
Taylor's with reference to the avenue he
left the team there, saying Wilson would |
call there when he came to town. The |
boys in the barn didn't understand the |
matter, and naturally thinking somebody |
would call for them, put the horses up and |
cared for them. Mr. Taylor exonerates |
Mr.. Wilson from ali blame realizing the
character of the mistake

altitude of about 2. 900 feet, the dog was

ELMER GRANDIN as ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
For full hundred years the stage
found the American turnpike hard road
to travel Theaters were looked at in most
localities as contrivances of the evil one
and the people who played in them were
regarded as being beneath the contempt of
honest citizens, albeit contempt was well
savored in many places with somewhat Of
superstitious fear. find it recorded that
some time between 1747 and 1749 the Grst
dramatic company was organized in Phila-
delphia, and that it was soon abandoned
because of the horror of the populace and
threats of arrest by the recorder
In 1856 Boston saw it's first series of the
atrical entertainments. They were given
secretly, because the actors were fearful of
being thrown into the gaOl." AS late as 1888
a whole company of players was arrested at
Lowell, Mass, on the occasion of the open
ing of the towns first theater. The charge
against them was that they were following
no "honourable and lawful profession"
and they barely escaped being done vio-
lenee. In escaping at all they were luckier
than some others who had attempted to
give dramatic performances in different
parts of New England.

in gaining a foothold in the New World
