PATHETIC.
A Dramatic Scene i'm Judge COTS

Clarksburg Telegram.

Clarksburg Telegram.
Some time ago the postoffice at
Vandalia, Lewis county, was robbed
and for time there was no clue that
tended to show who committed the
robbery. Detectives were put to
work and at length the crime was
fastened upon three Warner boys
and fellow named Bennett. They
were all indicted and attorneys John
W. Davis and Edw. G. Smith were
appointed to defend them. The ev-
idence against them was very strong
and compromise was made by the
terms of which Jefferson Bennett and
Minter Warner were released and
Phil and John Warner plead guilty.
Judge Golf sentenced the older one,
Phil, to three ears and John (who
was only 20 years old) to two years
in the penitentiary and one dollar
fine. When the boys were sentenced
an occurrence of dramatic as we'll
as a pathetic nature created no little
excitement in the U. S. court room.
Among those present were the moth
er, sisters and a number of relatives
of the prisoners, including the sweet
hearts of the two condemned boys.
A wall went up when the sentence
was pronounced and in another mo-
ment the old lady swooned and fell
Unconscious. Then came such pierre
ing and heart-rending shrieks as
never before re-ochoed through the
solemn halls of the temple of justice.
They were all finally removed by the
deputies to an adjoining room where
Mrs. Warner soon regained con.
seriousness and the final parting took
place.

Eighth street had watch and chain

fort to pawn a watch to some one at
Schaefer's hotel for S.. They next
learned that ne had disposed of a
watch at Dunbar's store on lower
Market, for Sc. Brown identified
the watch as his. Dunbar stated to
the officers that a saloon keeper
named Tichnell had brought Hay
maker to his place and told him that
he was all right.
Haymaker was arrested and jailed

A Bold Burglar.

A bold attempt at robbery was
made at 2 o'clock this morning at
the residence of Miss Belle Dean on
Front street.
The robber raised the lower sash
of the kitchen window and finding
that the slat which holds the sash
was off he took the sash out, but in
attempting to set it down upon the
floor dropped it and the racket
awoke the Misses Dean one of whom
ran to the window and sent bullet
after the burglar who was fleeing
down through the garden. The man
was very bold, or reckless, as lam p
was burning brightly in the kitchen.

through him and the sooner the
better for the community.

TAYLOR WAS IN CHICAGO.
His Friends Claim the State Will
Lose Nothing.

CHICAGO, Jan. 10.-W. l. McMasters.
secretary of the Western Homestead
and Irrigation company. with offices in
William Walter Taylor. the missing
treasurer of South Dakota, when Mr..
Taylor was in Chicago. about Jan. l.
"At that time" said Mr. McMasterS, 'he
turned all Of his assets over to his bonds
men. | am sure he will be more than
able to meet the deficiency left III the
state treasury. lie has assets for double
the amount required, but on account of
the shrinkage in values will not be able
to realize on them at once. The state
will not lose dollar. | am sure that
Mr.. Taylor has none of the money with
him, and for that matter that he got
very little Of it originally. Certain per-
sons whose names | do not care to men
ton received most of the money. [
have been aware of the state of Mr..
Taylor's affairs for four weeks. When
left Redfeld, S. D., in 1890, l resigned
the position of cashier in the First Ma
tional Bank of Redfield, of which Mr..
Taylor was president. We were closely
associated in business affairs. and from
the fact that we were warm friends, he
wrote to me concerning the state of
affairs before ne left Pierre. Mr.. Taylor
called at my office, in Quincy street,
during the last two weeks, and L think
he called again when | was not here.
In the last three monlhs Mr. Taylor has
made strenuous efforts to realize on
assets consisting of real estate and first
mortgage bonds to the amount of $780,
900. These assets have been turned
over to his bondsmen, and the state will
not lose cent.
"Mr. Taylor has never speculated eX-
cepting i'll legitimate manner. The
shortage amounts to upward of 100000,
100000 of which can be traced to fall
ureS of the Chemical National bank, of
this city, and other banks in which he
had deposited state funds.
81 do not know where Mr.. Taylor is
now, and do not know how long he re-
NAMED in Chicago. He Is not far
away, and the only reason he left Pierre
was to give his bondsmen an opportu-
nifty to realize on his assets and arrange
matters"
