WASHINGTON, May 9.-Jacob 5.
Coxey, general" of the Common
veal, and his two lieutenants, Carl
Browne and Christopher Columbus
Jones, were in the lobby, in the
rear of the Senate chamber today,
anticipating a further airing Of
their case in connection
with the Allen resolution,
to investigate the alleged police
clubbing, on May LIST. Allen spoke
with some feeling. He said he had
waited week after the outrage
was committed upon the Capitol
grounds, before introducing the
resolution, expecting that one Of
the senators from Ohio, the state
from which CoXey came, would
take some steps towards its inves-
tigation. CoXey had come from
a Congressional district formerly
represented by Mckinley. In his
opinion such scenes as took place
in the presence of ten thousand
people, May lst, on the plaza in
front of the capitol, should be in
vestigated without delay.

BOLD BURGLARY.

Paper-The Thieves Closely Fol-

Last evening, about 8 o'clock, Geo. H
Irish, manager of w. w. CargiEl Co.'S
elevator, was relieved OF $4,000 IN mon
ey, a draft for $500 and two notes against
farmers in this county, all belonging to

mitted by Frank Leonard, a young man
OF 26, who has been staying more or less
OF late at MIR. Irish's house. Last
night he came in after Mr.. Irish had
gone to bed and said he was feeling
quite sick and commenced to rummage
around.for medicine. After a time he
concluded he was SO sick he could not
&C to bed but would walk around for a
while, and not coming back in reasonable
time Mrs. Irish suggested to her hus-
band that he get up and look for him as
he might be In need Of help. AS soon as
Mr.. Irish arose he soon discovered that
his premises had been rifled and the
money and paper gore. He at once
gave the officers the alarm and they
were at ]. B. Koehler's livery stable on
ly ten minutes after the robber, accom-
panied by VIM. Beverly, had departed
from there with a livery rig. The two
men told Mr.. Koehler they were going
out into the country a short distance,
but il appears they drove TO Egan as the
horse and buggy were returned from
that point this forenoon. The officers
did not get any clue to the direction OF
the fugitives until the horse was brought
back, but Sheriff Fox had gone east on
the train shortly before the horse came
