MAGGIE CONRAD JAIL.
Infaniicide is the Charge Against
Her.

The two sons of Mr. T. d. Cooper,
who lives on 4th street were walking
in the garden early Sunday morn
ing, when the younger Mr.. Cooper,
discovered a heap of rags and dis
covered the figure ola small infant.
On investigation it proved true-a
negro child was there, wrapped in
rags, a string tied tightly around it's
neck and bearing the appearance OF
having been exhumed, perhaps by a
dog. The sanitary police, Mr.. Frank
Martin was notified; the child was
brought to the stationhouse on Main
street and the Coroner sent for.
By this time the theory of death
by strangulation was pretty we'll
established and the matter of find
ing the guilty party demanded at
ton. The Messrs. Cooper were
thoroughly queried and it was ascer-
tanned that one, Maggie Conrad, a
colored servant, lad left their employ
q few days since and was then living
with sister.
The officers Immediately repaired
to the latter place and Maggie was
arrested. When told that she was
wanted she quietly and thoughtless-
ly asked: "Have they found it,"
On the way to the scene of the
investigation she admitted being the
mother of the child, but disclaimed
having destroyed it. A further con-
fession was not made.
At 1 o'clock Mr.. Fogle arrived,
the jury summoned and Drs. Dalton
and Galloway called on to hold a
post-mortem examination. The child
was dissected, the lungs taken out
and the theory that the child was
born alive thoroughly established by
the lungs floating on water-a rec
ognized test in medical science. The
evidence given by the few witnesses
in the Coroner's court was of no
special interest, save that of the Off
GERS and the physicians.
The jury brought in a verdict of
death by strangllation at the hands
of Maggie Conrad. The woman was
jailed to await the action of the Su-
perior Court.

The success of Watt & Webb, pro-
prietors of the Orinoco. Warehouse, is
wonderful, They have only been in
business for a little more than one
year, and in that time have built up
the largest patronage that any house
in the State enjoys. This success is
due to hard work on part of the pro-
prietors and their ass s,ciates, to their
splendid accommodations, to the fact
that Webb, the best auctioneer in the
world, does his own auctioneering find
to other things that farmers and will
out by giving them trial.

in stamps and $17O or moro in money.
Mccormick says that there were three
connected with the robbery, one coming
inside while the others staid at the vim
dow. The one who did the principal
part was masked, and pulling gun
on him demanded that he open the safe.
which he did, and was compelled to
stand and look into the muzzle Of A
while the bold robber helped himself.
John STRAIN had SIS Christian Endeavor
money in the postofice safe, and as the
robbers didn't seem to fear God or the
devil, they took that little amount too.
This is just little the boldest piece of
robbery ever perpetrated in northwest
Kansas. The robber left the postofice
with the remark that they would next
tap E. E. Hoffman's jewelry store, and
that was the last they were seen. The
officers were out all day securing the
country, but as yet have failed to run
onto the right parties.
