years ago he has been partially par

been gradually growing worse, until all
is over and he is at rest. He had passed
the allotted time of three score and ten,

falling from load of hay, he was very
strong for one of his age. Do we grieve

Numismatics.

The subject of numismatics by producing
an English coin made in the reign of
William with the three eyes in 1898. It
was a handsome coin, and according
to Mr.. Crossen's very interesting story
of it, has a history. The coin was first
thrown on the stage by William him.
self, as slight token of appreciation of
the actors talent; the actor being an
uncle of Mr.. Crossen's by marriage, at
the close of Hood River celebration in
which the actor had repeated those re-
cherche lines entitled, 'Curfew Shall
Not Ring Tonight" or "Who Kissed the
Cook" Soon, very soon after the pub
lie learned that the said collateral con-
sanguinous relative of Mr.. Crossen's,
had committed the crime to memory,
said relative took passage on the May
flower for San Francisco, coming by the
Nicaragua route and The Dalles boat
railway. Jimmy says there is a rumor
that he would have left sooner, but the
Mayfower was the first boat out. By a
lengthy and clrcuitous route, which we
cannot give in detail now, the piece
finally came into the possession of its
present owner, who prizes it highly be-
cause as long as he keeps it he feels that
he isn't broke.
But this is depression, which we will
pursue some other time. What we was
going to say was that Judge Bradshaw,
who was checking up the profit and loss
on receipt for taxes, remarked that he
had much more valuable and exceed
ingly rare coin, and then after exciting
everybody's curiosity by going first in
one pocket and then another for it, pro-
duced big yellow twenty dollar piece.

WHOLESALE CHICKEN-STEALING.
Haughville officials Capture Rig and
Lot of Dead Fowls.

Friday night shortly after u o'clock, as
the last west-bound street-car was passing
Bismarck avenue in Haughville. the conduc-
tor and the driver noticed horse hitched
to a buggy walking along apparently with
out a driver. On investigating, they found
this to be true and they tied the horse at
the corner. Proceeding westward, they per-
ceived Deputy Marshal Thorpe at the corner
OF King avenue and Michigan street. Call
ing TO him they informed him OF their dis
covery, and he went to the tied animal. On
searching the buggy. he found 10 his aston
ishment a sack containing fifteen dead
chickens which were apparently of recent
absence from hennery. He then took the
rig to the livery stable of George Scott and
left IL there with the instructions to allow
no one TO take it without the consent of the
town authorities. He then summoned Mar
shall Harmon, and the two started on the
lookout for clews. An unknown man told
them that he had seen two suspicious char
acters headed for Emrichtown. The officers
followed up the clew, but did not find the
suspected characters.
Yesterday morning, at about o'clock, a
farmer named Bridges reported that he had
picked up eighteen chickens on the road
imIleGiately west of the Insane Asylum. He
haE hardly impaired his information when
Charles Trotter arrived in post haste from
htS residence on the Asylum road with the
news that during the night his hennery had
been entered and that twenty-four Of his
choicest chickens had been stolen. He
identified fifteen of those that were found
by Bridges as belonging 10 him. The chick
ems found in the buggy and on the road
side had evidently been killed but a short
time as they were still warm The chickens
were all bought by Bridges, who gave Trot-
ter 80 cents apiece for his and TO the town
authorities 30 cents for the unclaimed ones.
The authorities are holding the money for
the proper parties and, If they should not
appear. the money will be given to the town
treasury
Yesterday morning early, a colored man Of
large dimensions called at the livery stable
and said that he had been sent by one
Nelson Wells, who was said to live at No.
206 Allegheny street and that the latter
claimed that his horse and buggy had been
stolen during the night and furthermore
that he had heard that they had been found
in Haughville. Mr.. Scott told the man thai
he would have to get the permission of the
town authorities before the rig would be
given to him. He departed saying that he
wOud see the officers and also that he would
bring Wells out to identify. his property.
That was the last seen of him, and the
town officers are positive that this colored
man was one of the robbers. The rig II
being held for the identification of the real
owner who will no doubt shortly appear, as
the rig is probably stolen property. The
number of fowl thefts, particularly of
chickens, has been great In Haughville in
the last few weeks and several persons are
now under suspicion. The marshal thinks
that the perpetrators of the last act are
the general offenders in this line.

MUST GO TO JAIL.
A Haughville Father Declines to Inter-
fere for His Small Son.

A sad story comes from Haughville
wherein the father of an incorrigible boy
will allow the latter to be thrown in Jail
rather than to pay costs of a trial. Little
Johnny Oates, aged eleven years, is the
incorrigible, and he was slated few days
ago to answer the charge of assault and
battery much smaller boy. The Oates
family came from Ireland last May ah5
settled in Haughville on Warmer avenue.
The lad fell in with boys somewhat his
senior in years who do not bear a good
character. The father of young Oates
claims that his son has been urged on by
these larger ones and is really not to blame
for the trouble. He also says that he has
corrected the boy in numerous and differ
ent ways, but all to no good effect. The
boy was to have been tried yesterday
afternoon, at O'Clock, but he was unable
TO be found. The father told marshal Har-
mon that il he was caught, and tried, and
a fine imposed, he would not pay the fine
but would be glad to see his son put in
Jail. He added that fatherly love was not
wanting, but the confinement would per-
haps be the only check to the growing
badness of his youthful son.

Dispute of Insurance Agents.

In the Police Court, yesterday morning
Philip l. Geissler was arraigned for en-
bezzlement, and released under bond in
the sum of $500. Geissler is a general agent
for the Equitable Life Insurance Company
and worked under ID. B. Sheideler who

belonging to the company, and having an

told him To- retain the $3.50 out of the COM
mission which would be due the last

frequent, and that under the rules of the
company he may retain $3.50.

CITED FOR CONTEMPT
Charles Kahl Charged with Trying
to Influence the Grand Jury.
Other Citations Not Made-DisavOwed
Any Intention of Dragging Taggart
In-Aiseellany of the Courts.

Another chapter IN the Fulford case was
enacted in the Criminal Court yesterday
afternoon. Upon the affidavit of Henry
Hartman citation had been issued against
Charles Kahl requiring him 20 appear and
show cause why he should not be punished

fore the grand jury. Hartman also alleged
that KahI tried to induce him Hartman)
to get the case continued before the grand
jury for another month and that he was
asked by Kahl to step into a saloon with
him and take a drink or cigar.
In obedience TO the citation Kahl ap-
peared in the Criminal Court yesterday
afternoon and was represented by attor-
neys Merrill MoOres and Healing & Hugg.
A motion to dismiss the rule to show
cause was filed by Mr.. Hugg and argued
by him and Prosecutor Hoffman. The mo-
tion TO dismiss was based upon the allega-
ton that the facts alleged were insufficient.
The defense argued that the affidavit was
nothing more than the conclusions Of the
afiant as to what was intended by the
conversation, and that the conversation
itself should be set out In order that the
accused might know what ne was called
upon TO meet 1t was urged that IL Hart
man was a willing party to the cOnVerSa-
ton IL was no contempt.
At the conclusion of the argument Judge
Cox announced that he would Overrule the
motion TO dismiss and the defense ex-
cepted to the ruling. They were given till
next Saturday 10 prepare their answer, and
the case Will be heard at . O'Clock a. IN.

corning the cases, and referred her TO her
