Another Highway Robbery-Chamber OF
Comnfercs Meeting.
SANTA ANA, Jan. 5.-Another highway
robbery occurred in Santa Ana this
morning. This time it was Edward
Harmon, milk man. Ed. gets out early
in the morning on his delivery route
about O'Clock. This morning when in
the vicinity of the Southern Pacific
depot he was ordered to stop. He was
about half asleep when he was accosted
and something struck him ON the head
It the same time he was ordered to
.hop. Ed. said that he lost no time in
setting the break and bringing up with
round turn. A heavy set, smooth
shaved man sprang into the wagon and
ordered him to drive ahead little
further which he did. He had not gone
more than hundred yards when an
other man put in an appearance with a
six-shooter in hand and he was again
ordered to stop. The man with
the pistol covered him and
the other man proceeded to
search his person for wealth. They
made a pretty thorough investigation
but failed to find anything. They were
much disgusted and gave the milkman
cursing for not carrying money with
him. On leaving, they each took a
bottle of milk and warned Ed to be
better hesled in the future.
Harmon says he had nearly $40 ON
his person when held up, but they did
not happen to find it.
The man who came to the wagon last
is described as being rather slender,
with red mustache and reddish hair.
They were both well dressed and had
on overcoats, one light colored and the
other dark.

KANSAS farmers have a scheme where
by they expect to raise the price of wheat.
Each farmer is to pillow up 25 per cent.
of the growing crops of wheat, put the
acreage plowed up, in corn or some other
grain, and thus eliminate a part of the
wheat supply to the end that the price
may be increased. 1t is proposed to ex-
tend the movement over all of the wheat
producing states. 1t is a move merely
in the line of reduction of wheat pro-
duction, and the blowing up OF the
wheat may be avoided by the lessening
of the original acreage of wheat, and
corresponding increase in other grains.

TEXAS CAPITOL CASES UP AGAIN.
First Important Hearing Under the I'LL
nois Arbitration Law.

First Important Hearing Under Ghe Hi.
nois Arbitration Law.
CHICAGO, April ga legal proceeding
unprecedented in the annals of Ameri-
can jurisprudence is being had before
Chancellor. Tuley. At the last session
of the state legislature a law was passed
providing that when both parties to a
civil suit were agreed every point at is
sue might be submitted for adjudica-
ton to the presiding judge of any cir
cult court. The law gives to such
judicial officer extraordinary powers.
Not only are errors which may inter-
vene in the hearing released, but the
judge has the same authority as the ma
jority of the justices of the supreme
court of the United States and he can
enter judgment and decree, both to be
final, and from which there can be no
appeal. The case now being tried il
the first n of any magnitude to come
within the provisions of this remarkable
hearing. 1t is a combination of all the
suits that have occupied the attention of
American and foreign courts for over
hve years, involving millions of prop
erty and scores of individuals, and
known as the ..... T..
Texas Capitol Contracts.
William Sturges and Bessie Sturges,
his wife, are the compliments, while
the defendants are John V. Farwell,
Abner Taylor and the Capitol Freehold
Land and Investment company Qim-
ited), a wealthy London corporation
formed principally to construct the i'm
mense Texas capitol building at Austin,
which is the largest structure of its
kind in the country outside of Wash
ington. John V. Farwell and the
other individual defendants were inter-
ested in the formation of the company,
in which William Sturges also assisted,
whether in the capacity of principal or
agent is a matter in dispute. The COM
pany received from the state as COM
pensation 5000, 900 acres of land in the
Panhandle country in Northwest Texas,
which was stocked with $50, 900 cattle.
Much preparation was needed to
bring the suits to the condition neces-
sary for presentation to the judge.
Enormous masses of evidence in the
shape of dispositions have been prepared
and printed. These will be read for
the information of the court, and it is
probable that the oral testimony of nu-
merous witnesses will also be intro
duced. The arguments of the counsel
will be written and submitted. There
was a large attendance Of lawyers and
of the general public in court for the
purpose of witnessing the Inauguration
of the remarkable proceeding.

REINFORCEMENTS ASKED.

One Troop of Cavalry Unable to Ouell tho
Outbreak in Indian Territory.
KANSAS CRY, April ga special to
The Times from Ell Reno, l. T., states
that the troop of cavalry sent out to
quell the fighting going on between the
Indians and cowboys has sent a courier
back to the fort for reinforcements. It
is reported that another battle has oc-
Cured and that several men on both
sides were killed and wounded. The
rumor heretofore published, to the effect
that the agency building has been
burned by the Indians. is corroborated.
The scene of the fighting is SO remote
that the particulars are ~unobtainable ut
this time. It is feared that great loss of
life will be caused before reinforce
ments can reach the troop now at the
front.

In the first ward, Larson and Michel

They waged a lgood campaign, but a
combination of circumstances opposed
them. Mcbride and Braithwaite made
q personal canvass of the ward for them
selves-and the count shows that there
was a considerable scratching of tickets
on this account. Larson and Nicholson
made a good clean campaign. The first
ward was close on all candidates, and
they were defeated by a few votes-and
they take their defeat philosophically.
