A DANGEROUS GANG.
A New Installment of Thugs In Town and the
Police are Busy watchIn: Them,

Police are Busy Naichin. Them,
A new installment of thugs and plug
uglies generally arrived in the city yes
Eerday and as a result the police are extra
vigilant. A short time after their arrival
word was sent to the station and two men
were detailed at once to find out who they
were, what their particular line Of work
was, their habits, haunts, etc. BY night
the officers had a fair description of all of
them and such other information about
their character as leads them to be extra
cautious. Some very bad men are among
them and they evidently intend to do
some work in this section of the country.
Last night detail Of officers had been
sent out again and by 10 o'clock they had
the boarding places Of nearly every one of
them located.
IL has been ascertained that they have
given it out privately in this city that
they are not here for business, but are
only here to await the opening of the
Cherokee strip Before tonight many of
them will be ordered to leave town.
1t will be well for the citizens of
Wi hita to watch their houses and prop
erty more closely than usual for few
days, till the town is thoroughly cleared
Of the gang. 1t also behooves the people
of the surrounding cities to DE more
watchful than usual, for if they are
cleared out Of here they will scatter and
go to neighboring cities, where, perhaps,
there is less police protection than in
Wichita.
1t is pity that some system cannot be
adopted by which these gangs of rascals
cannot either be hung or driven out of the
country-into the ocean, for instance,
where St. Patrick drove the snakes. 1t is
too bad that honest people who earn their
living by the sweat of their brows must
be denied that peaceful rest after hard
days labor which they are entitled to, in
order to prevent these Williams from prey
ing upon them.

ST. PATRlcK,s ENTERTAINMENT.

st. Pat rick's Day in the morning was
celebrated last night in true Catholic
style at st. Aloysius hall, corner of Second
street and Fourth avenue. by the rendition
OF very fine musical and Juvenile theat-
rical program, prepared by the sisters.
who drilled the boys Of their school for the
occasion. 1t was certainly q pleasant
event. and combined the comicai, the
sublime and the sentimental into one har-
monious whole. The attendance was
large and sympathetic and many were the
old veeran Hibernian whose eyes were filled
with tears as he was reminded both in
song and story of the scenes of his boyhood
across the water in that smaller America,
in spirit At least. called Ireland.
The program opened with a chorus by
twenty-four boys of the junior class who
sung "Only q Bunch of Shamrock" in
very fine style.
The beautiful, sentimental and patriotic
drama of Robert Emmett" in three acts,
then followed with the following cast of
characters:
CAST OF CHARACTERS.
Robert Emmett, Irish Patriot Henry Dugan
Darby O'Gaff, spris of the Emerald Isle :,
O'Leary. an old soldier. -. Harry Brennan
Des9a1i friends of Emmett. ID Il G bally
Herman, traitor. ............... George Lynch
Sergeant Topfell. ............. Thomas Sullivan
Corporal Thomas ......... John s. Seirbrandt
Michael. Darby's brother Edward stanton
Baron 6uran
Baron Daily. . 1870. Philip Aherne
Common, Jallor. ....................J Joseph DAVIS
All the boys did exceedingly we'll. con-
sidering their ages. 1t was a little bit odd
to see little fellows IL or IA years old play
ing judges and soldiers, but it only served
to make the play more Interesting. Willie
Russell played Darby O'Gaff in great
style, and Henry Dugan as Robert En-
NETT acquitted himself very creditably.
A vocal Duet, 'fThe Irish Einigrant,''
was sung by two little fellows, Z. !Cleary
and J. Dawson, in such a creditable man-
ner that they were called back with de-
tarmined encore.
Give Me Ny Own Native Isle" was
sung in excellent style by quartet, com.
posed of Frank Higgins, Fred Alley, VIII
Russell and A. A. Wood.
Miss Lynch and others played some very
fine solos on the piano, and the perform
ance ended with Emerald Banner" by a
chorus of boys.
1t was, as heretofore stated. very
clever entertainment, and reflects credit
on the sisters who trained the boys for the
occasion.

EARLY USE OF PETROLEUM.

How the Oll Was f3iscovered by the In
dians in :. renn7yivSnIa Spring.
In diary kept by one OF the survey
ors engaged in the survey of the Hol-
land Land company's purchase at the
very beginning Of this century an entry
occurs to the cffccb that near the head
waters of the Allegheny river, in Penn
sylvania, YVES a spring of water from
which, when conducted into shallow
pools, would collect quantities of oil.
This the Indians collected and used.
For unknown generations, according to
the American RegiGter, the Indians had
held this spring in high ve1eration, be-
lieVing it was q direct gift from the
Greet Spirit.
They dried the oil by exposure to the
sun, and made an ointment that they
used in mixing their war paint, as well
as for medical purposes. This oint-
ment was the vaseline for the present
day in its crude state, for the oil
Skinned from the spring was crude Pc
troleum. The oil spring nnd plot of
ground one mile square were given to
the Indians as a reservation, and is 80
held ut the present time, being known
as the Oil Spring reservation.
IN after years enterprising whites
collected the oil, and itwGs bottled and
sold. 1t had wide reputation and was
eagerly sought by many, who extolled
its merits in the most extravagant
terms. Had it not been for tho fact the
inquisitive whites found out way to
get petroleum from the earth by send
ing the drill through the rocks, this oil
would doubtless now be popular med
icine worth one dollar q bottle.

ELKO, NEVADA, THURSDAY, MAY II, 1898.
TRAPPING WOLVES IN FRANCE.
Hnses or the People to Extort Rewards
from tho Government

from tho Government.
Among other contrivances there is
one that outwits the sagacity of the
wolf with as little hardship as such a
capture admits. Within circle of
strong stakes, not very closely planted,
sheep or goose is confined. At a
distance of sixteen inches is ON outer
circle OF stakes, having an entrance
eighteen inches wide. The path be-
tween the two circles is we'll beaten
down. The door of the outer one,
which folds back against the inner, is
set inVitingly open.
In marches, says Blackwood's Maya
zine, the cautious wolf pursues the
path till he comes to the back of the
open door, pushes against the yielding
obstacle, and by so doing closes the en-
trance against himself. The latch falls
at the impact of the door against the
sdoorPost, and he is hopelessly fast,
unable to touch the decoy animal of
the inner circle, or to leap over the
strongly planted poles of the outer one.
Thus ingloriously kidnapped, the vic
tim is soon dispatched.
A complaint has been made that the
rewards which the French government
gives for the slaughter of wolves are
SO small in comparison with those paid
of old. Bat large rewards sometimes
do more harm than good, by making it
too much the ilGCrcat of the ncrcenary
troops to slouGhJcr the foe with due re-
spect TO the dcsirability of having
always plenty of foes to slaughter. If
all the stories arc true OF the alarm
and Gamarc cauGal by wolves, it is not
unreasonable to think that those cX-
posed 10 b. Saiicr2ra might a9sis3 in
their c-stiip2tioIt nithout the stimulus
OF fee.
Many parts Of France, it is true, are
highly favorable TO the wants and hab-
its of tho wolf, but against modern
skill and modern Weapons it is hard to
believe that il corld hold It's ground
without The conrivance of sportsmen,
or If tho Eovcrnmont were earnestly
resolved to be rid cf it.

Every steamer that plies along the
