ports from Tecumseh state that more
than 30 indictments for horse stealing
have been found by the grand jury.
Seventeen arrests have been made.
Seven of those arrested have plead
guilty. The entire community is
wrought up over this discovery, and the
breaking mp of m of the most remark
able criminal organizations ever known
In this country. The grand jury is
Still In session and 20 or 80 more indict-
ments will likely be returned. Charles
Patterson and a young fellow named
Collins, members of the gang, have
turned states evidence, and = posse, &C
companied by Patterson, have gone to
the Seminole country to arrest the ring
leaders Of the gang. The organization
extends to Arkansas and along the route
the thieves have caves and hiding places.
Many murders have been committed by
the gang. and these arrests explain the
mystery OF the disappearance of q large
amount OF valuable horse flesh.

application Made to Judge Nelson For n
Writ ~ Prohibition.
ST.. PAUL. May 26.-Counsel Blair,
Tor Lieutenant Nancy. has applied to
Judge Nelson of the United States dis
trict court for an order to show cause
why a writ of prohibition, restraining
the military authorities from trying
Lieutenant Nancy should not be issued.
There are innumerable p~recedents
for the action of Counsel Blair, and the
records show wherein the application
for a writ of prohibition has been de-
MED, but the cases OF homicide which
have figured thus far have not been so
Numerous. In this instance counsel for
defense holds that his client has been
Placed In Jeopardy Once. .
q under the constitution cannot be
exposed again. The Judge advocate
claims that he is not trying the prisoner
Tor murder, but for an infraction of the
military code, over which code the civil
and criminal courts have no jurisdiction.
However, as the punishment on convic-
tion OF a violation of military law would
DC equivalent to the penalty for certain
degrees OF murder, the defense makes
tine claim that the courtmartial Ia still
unconstitutional, for the reason that
Nancy has been placed in jeopardy for
the degrees Of manslaughter. The
point Is q knotty one and a such its
eiucid atom by the federal courts will
be watched with the keenest interest
by the legal profession.

The year just closed has been one
of the most disastrous in the business
history of the country. The opera
tion of the Sherman law. which has
at last been happily expunged from
the statute books, produced financial
crisis which brought ruin into every
branch of business. Capital became
alarmed and money took refuge in
safes and bank vaults. Gold under
the operation of the law referred TO,
was withdrawn from the United States
Treasury for shipment TO Europe, and
pig silver, which could not be utilized,
took its place. Business was paralyz-
ell. Banks failed, factories and fur
naces let their fires 20 out, and oper-
ators were thrown out of employment.
Wheat, the great staple of the coun-
try, went down To a price lower than
it was ever before sold in the markets
of the world. The great consuming
classes were unable TO make their
customary purchases. Although the
yield Of the fields and the output of
the mines were not far from the aver
age, and the Worlds Fair nj Chicago
was stimulus to travel, yet for some
cause the prevailing depression SER
iously affected the railroad companies,
and more miles Of road went into the
hands of receivers than in any pre-
vious year.
"Afier the repeal of the Sherman
law, currency came out of its hiding
places and the banks carried their
usual line of deposits. Then another
cause arose TO create business depres-
sion. The Democratic party being in
power and having control of the Ex.
ecutive and both Houses Of Congress.
were looked TO to carry out the policy
lower tariff taxation, upon which issue
they were elected. With the expec-
tation that lower prices were about to
prevail, it was impossible to sell goods
at current market rates except for
current needs, and merchants for
months lived, as il were, from hand to
mouth, buying just a their necessities
for the time required, and no more.
From this cause the imports decreased
in volume, and the receipts OF the gov
ernment from customs became so great
~ impaired that the President and
members of Congress had TO exercise
their ingenuity in suggesting various
new forms of taxation. As il was un-
known where this new tax would be
imposed, business and capital were
more or less alarmed, and much dis
quiet was the result. Baitimore

tranquility with which the great mans
career had been marked. Mr.. Childs

and through his own energy became
a millionaire and one of the leading

he dispersed his many charities is an

wealthy of the world. He has been
for many years a large employer Of

his employ have been the most loyal
and loving of his friends, won TO him
alike by his justice and his generosity.
From the office-boys and the ap-
prentices in his composing-room TO
the distinguished Journalists whom he
called about him as his lieutenants in
the conduct of the Public Ledger, all
bear eager witness TO the great good
ness of the man. not merely in his di-
rect dealings with them. but in all his
