from the city, Saturday last. The thief is
known to be a pro. essional at the business of
robbirg hen roosts and was in the tolls of
the law several months ago fore like prac-
tees. He has not been arrested yet, but will
be today. HIS prospects for a term at Lin
coin are regarded as extremely good, as a
number of chicken thefts, involving the re-
pet stock, can be traced directly to him. His
populations are chiefly confined to the rural
districts.

United States Troops Have So Far Only Met
with Small Bands.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Jan. 5.-The troubles
on the border are not settled, and it cannot
be said that any great success has resulted
from the brave and persistant efforts Of
United States troops in the field. All that
has been so far accomplished has been the
routing of Garza's men when they we've en- .
countered III small bands. The policy of the
revolutionists when attacked, so far, has
been to scatter through the cnapparal, and
1T is confidently expected that in every
such instance they have Il secret rendezvous
where they come together again after the
skirmish. IL is not believed that the actual
stronghold of tho revolutionists has been
reached, although Second Lieutenant George
H. Langhorne and Captain Francis w. Har-
die, with their attachments, met many roam
ing bands of them during the recent scout
lasting several days.

salary out Of the fines and fees collected by
him, and failed to make any report to the
council as The law directs. Tho council
passed q resolution directing him to report as
required by law, and to turn over all fines
and fees to the city treasurer.
The city council also instructed the chief
OF police to turn over all moneys collected by
him to the city treasurer without passing
t hem through the hands of the police
judge. 1t had previously been the
custom of the chief of police to
collect the haudy house fines and to turn
them over to the police judge. Each of the
proprietors of such resorts in the city have
recently received a letter from the police
judge directing that they pay all moneys
directly to him and informing them and the
inmates that no account would be made If
the payments were made to anybody else.
The matter was brought up in the council
meeting last night and after a discussion it
was decided to rescind the instructions of
the chief OF police, whereby he was to turn
over the money to tho city treasurer, and
ordering him to collect The fines and turn
Thorn over to the police judge as heretofore.
