THAT Is THE HAUL THAT ED,
COOPER TRIED TO MAKE.

But He Failed, and the Warrants
Stolen are Worthless to Him-Fuli
Particulars OF the Theft and DIS.
posal Of Part Of the Warran,s-The
Sampler Orc Thief Probably Dis
covered.
About 8 o'clock this morning the
town became some what excited over
the repor. that J. c. Griffith, superin-
tendent of the HALEY Sampling
Works, had been robbed of about
$4,000 worth Of Logan county war;
rants. aud that Edward Cooper was
the thief.
A TIMES reporter began an invests
CATION. hoping that the report would
prove to be without foundation.
Lyttleton Price, one OF the trustees
of the Sampling Mill Company, was
asked if the report was founded?
Mr.. Price answered that it was.
He was sure that Ed. Cooper had
stolen the warrants, and he was like.
wise sure that he was the man who
stole the rich gold ore from the SAM
pier last fall. A. f. Montandon, the
we'll, known attorney, had taken $500
worth of the warrants. No others OF
the lot had been disposed Of as far as
known. The County Treasurer HAYS
ing been notified, payment was
stopped, and the warrants were
worthless to any one but Griffith, the
rightful owner.
"po ! understand it to be your
opinion as lawyer" asked the re-
porter, shat these warrants are no,
negotiable? That, for instance, you
sell me warrant that has been stolen
innocentiy purchase it, yet that l
cannot recover what | paid for it?'
"ln such a case you might recover
from me or whoever sold you the war.
rant. But the righ,ful owner of the
warrant would not lose his rights to
it by the fact OF your being an limo
cent purchaser. A warrant is not
negotiable in the sense in which many
persons use the word"
HOW MR.. MONTANDON norCuT TIM
WARRANTS.
The reporter fastened to Mr.. Mon
tandoh's Office, and ives asked to 81,

II most loaths0me, dangerous, and preva-

Of scrofulous origin, and for which local
treatment Is useless. Before health Is pos

many remedies tried aiiording me any re-
lief. My digestion was considerably i'm

INTELLIGENT INSECTS.
outh American Ants That Cultivate Grass,
Own slaves and Use Umbrellas.


south American Ants That Cultivate Grass,
Own slaves and Use Umbrellas.
A recent lecturer on ants and their
WAYS described those of South America,
who build immense structures and pro-
vide space for the storage of grain.
Wood ants. inhabiting hardwood trees,
divide their houses into forty compart-
ments. Noticing the mining ants, the
lecturer said much might be learned
from their Clearly habits and their won
derful sanitary arrangements. Some
kinds of ants do not keep cows but
live entirely on grain. Mr. Plunket
gave some facts about their interesting
harvesting operations - stating that
they planted and cultivated kind of
grass called the rice and were 50 adj
vanced in civilization that mailing was
understood by them. Then there are
mushroom growing ants who cultivate
fungus, and others again who use UNI
breIlas. Several species make raids on
the black ants, rob them of their
Larvae and compel the poor black ants TO
be their slaves In the burying Of
their dead ants show wonderful intelli-
cence. having &c neteries, and even bury
their slaves IL a different place from
