COPS MISTAKEN FOR BURGLARS.
A Big Load of Buckshot brings on
an Explanation All Round.

A Big Load of BuclxshOt brings on
an Explanation All Round.
Three policemen lodging and keeping an
eye upon supposed burglar lurking in
the dim interior OF the back room Of
restaurant and the supposed burglar. an
emDloye, keeping a sharp lookout upon
these officers, as supposed burglars, con-
GLIDING with fusilade from a double
barrelled shotgun-these the facts
and the situation would make the foun-
dations for a Gilbertesque opera of the
most approved pattern.
This happened at l O'Clock yesterday
morning. The principals. after the facts
became known, congratulated themselves
that the shot was fired to intimidate and
not to kill, as otherwise another police
man might have been added to the list
OF men killed while on the force.
For some days before the raid made
upon the store of Appel & Schaul by burg
lars several suspicious parties have been
in that neighborhOOd. A few nights ago
a sand bag was thrown up into an open
window on the second floor of a restau-
rant near by, to ascertain probably If the
people were awake.
Saturday night trio of suspicious char
acters was seen in the vicinity. The police
were notified.
The building is at the corner, the restau-
rant having two doors opening into the
lane. The three officers went down to the
scene of operation and la Pinkerton, tip
toed as they arrived near the building.
Peering around, they examined the out
side and all suspicious places in the lane.
no burglars or possible burglars were re-
vealed, and the detectives pro TEN. turned
their attention to the interior
In the dim light near a back stove or
furnace, was observable the faint out
lines of a man. The burglar moved eau
tiously and the officers did not know at
first whether they were observed or not.
After watching his movements few mo-
ments.. they advanced to the door, and,
knocking, called out: open the door"

was the answer that fairly stunned the
police.
The proprietor had been on the watch
and fired the shot to frighten the intru-
ders. Nobody was hurt.

BICYCLES AND STREET CARS.
MAI. RIVALS SAYS THEY'VE KNOCK
ED OUT THE HAY BpSISEss.

They Have Also Cut Down the Horse
Trade to One-HaIf Its Former Pro-
portfons-The Lighters Knocked
out the Drays, Then the Street
Railways Adopted Electricity and
Now the Pleasure Riders Have
Taken to overwhelmingly no
Future for the Horse, the Major
Says.
There isn't the interest in producing
hay around here now that there used to
be-" said Maj. Ryals to a Morning News
reporter the other day. The. bicycles and
the electric street cars have knocked out
the hay business. Then the dray business
has been pretty well knocked out by the
change in transportation methods, the
railroads all carrying their freight to the
river 'front.' where it is transferred by
lighter. Formerly all the transferring was
done by drays."
"All these things" said the major, have
cut down the horse trade badly. There
are not over half as many horses in the
city now that there were few years
ago The number of animals for pleasure
driving has decreased, as well as the
cars running everywhere, and low rates
of fare, there is no inducement TO a man
to keep a horse for pleasure driving, I'M
less he does it for the pure love of 1t. All
these things happened and then the BIZ
cycles came along and put the finishing
touches to the horse trade and with it
to the hay trade Many people have &C
tually sold their horses and purchased BIZ
cycles.
This bicycling business isn't tempo
rary fad either. 1t is on the Increase
Pretty soon a bicycle will be regarded
as a necessity, and not a mere pleasure
thing. 1t seems that we will soon come
to the time where we will quit using horses
altogether. 1 will probably be cultivating
Springfield plantation with an electric BIZ
cycle pillow If this thing keeps up few
years longer. AS 1 have said, this has
pretty well knocked out the hay business.
There is still considerable hay used here,
and it is bringing good prices now. Our
hay is a mere extra crop, though, put in
between the fall and the spring crops, and
must be gotten out of the way in time
to get in the fall crop. If we were to
hold it we could no doubt dispose of it at
good prices, but it is more profitable to
get it out of the way and put in fall crpps,
which is the reason our farmers are not
giving the attention to hay they once
did -

Morning for Albany.
The members of the Cadets are very
anxious now as to the prospects of their
team at the Albany contest Wednesday
and Thursday, this week. This is a
maiden" contest, and it shuts out some
of the best men who have qualified as
marksmen, hence there is considerable
interest as to what the result will be.
There viii possibly be thirteen of ff-
teen teams at the shoot, and consider
able rivalry will develop between the diff
ferent organizations. The Albany COM
pany sent out twenty-five invitations to
the different companies in the state, but
it is not thought that over fifteen teams
will be present.
There will be team matches and indi-
Vidual shoots. In the matches the ranges
will be 200 $780, 500, and GOO. The shots
