The Caldwell authorities warned
Marshal Shawyer on Wednesday to he
on the lookout for a stolen team and
buggy. Last Sunday, one Dolly Tut
tie, a woman of questionable charac-
ter, hired rig of Caldwell livery
firm al d drove out Of town. Nothing
has since been heard Of the woman
nor the rig, and it is believed that
she has attempted to make her escape
with the property. She formerly
lived at Round Pond, o. T., and it is
very probable that she has gone that
way.

The city council Of Wichita "has
bin and gone and done it, sure 'nuff,
dis time" At a meeting held last
night they repealed all city ordinances
under which arrests could be made for
the sale Of intoxicants. The reason
assigned for this action is that the
city does not propose to pay the ex-
penses Of the efforts now being made
to close and keep closed the joints and
saloons Of the city. Hereafter all
prosecutions must be under the state
law and at the expense Of the county.
II the state authorities wish to take
hand in the enforcementof the pro-
hibitory law in Wichita, the sheriff
and county attorney must be resorted
to and not the police commissioners
