STOLE VALUABLE COWS,
RUDOLPH NICHOLAS CHARGED
WITH A NOVEL OFFENSE.
He Is Accused Of Making u Business of
Stealing and slaugh ,ering VAL
liable Stock.

Rudolph Nicholas, who conducts q
small meat market near the corner OF
Washington street and Maple avenue. is
under arrest at the police station,
charged with a novel offcnse.
For some time past citizens who we're
the owners of milch cows have been
missing their property. Several valu-
able cows disappeared in various parts
OF the city, and complaints were made
to the chief of police.
The case was put in the hands OF De-
tectives Hawley and Auble, and their
work has resulted in the arrest Of Mich
olss and tie discovery of q chain OF cir
cumstances that connects him directly
with the loss OF one valuable COW, and
may with others.
Last Saturday night DR.. E. N. Mathis,
living at the corner OF Fourteenths and
Santee streets, staked out his COW, a
very valuable one, in the lot back OF his
residence. The COW was stsked out
with an iron stake and long chain.
Some time during the night the animal
was stolen and driven away. The next
day the police were notified.
1t was discovered that the COW was
driven to Mans6eld's slaughter house,
one and half miles beyond the western
terminus of the Pico street car line, by
Rudolph Nicholas, the butcher referred
to and there slaughtered by him. No
regular Strengthening is now being done
at that place, and Nicholas was seen by
two witnesses doing his work in the I'M
used slaughter house. Afterwards he
took the meat to his place of business
and peddled it out. while he sold the
hide to Mr.. Forthmau, hide dealer
on Banning street.
The most conclusive biz of evidence,
however, was the discovery Of DR..
Mathis stake and chain in Nicholas
smoke. house, back OF his butcher shop.
With the facts thus ascertained,
Nicholas Was arrested by the detectives
Friday afternoon and lodged in the city
jail under charge of grand larceny.
He does not deny that be slaughtered
the COW and sold it. but claims that no
bought it from colorsd man, together
with the stake and chain.
No evidence 30 yet has been discov-
cred with reference to Nicholas having
taken any other cowa, but the officers
are convinced that he has bssn doing a
thrifty business in this line for some
time pact, aud that If the truth could be
ascertained it would be found that many
COVE which have been missed have besn
converted into cash in the manner de.
scribed by the butcher.
Nicholas, in addition to retailing meat
in his chop, alec has been in the habit
OF peddling meat in wagon.
Under the Grimm ii code the offense
with which he ia charged is made
felony by specific enactment, even if the
animal stolen and slaughtered is of less
value than the statutory $50 which con-
stitutes grand larceny.
The arreat of Nicholas will very likely
break up very annoying species OF
crime from which citizens have been
suffering for many months past.

ADVANTAGES OF SEA POWER.
An English View OF the American Navy in
the Civn War.

From the London Spectator.
Spenscr Wilkinson illustrates the eN-
traordinary influence OF sea power by q
reference to the American civil war. The
ordinary man might suppose that in civil
war. at any rate. sea power was not a
material factor, and that there, If any
where. land considerations alone decided
the struggle. Yet this was not really the
case. After showing how much the Danes
