TWO BRITISH CATTLE THIEVES
Took Into Confidence Detective and Now
are Charged with Grand Larceny


There are warrants out for the arrest OF
J. Hesketh and &c. Gillibrand, two English
men who had established a regular cate
ran" or cattle lifting establishment near
Chatsworth Park. For some time people
in that neighborhood have been missing
stock, but could gain no clue to the
thieves. Finally L. J. Rose and Mr.. STRAIT
hearn employed a detective by the name
of Tarbox to discover the ru>tlers He
went out in the guise of man seeking
work, gained the Englishmen's confidence
and helped them to steal just enough COWS
to have them fright in the door. ~
When the evidence was complete Tarbox
returned and gave information which led
to the issuance of complaints charging
them with the larceny of two head OF
cattle valued at SIS apiece. Altogether
seventeen steers and cows have been
stolen, presumably by the gang.

M1pDLEBRooK AND VICINITY.

We are having very distressing drouth.
The farmers are not making much at blowing
as the ground is too dry. 1t will doubtless
cut the acreage of wheat down.
The village seems to be infested with a
band of petit thieves of the meanest order
There is widow lady residing here, who has
her children to support and has hard time
of it at best, making ends meet. Saturday
night of last week, some of these lazy hulks
visited her woodward and carried away all
her wood. but few sticks. When people
support, it is evident they must get their sup
plies from somewhere. Stealing is bad
enough any time, but to rob the widow and
fatherless is something like stealing the tacks
off grandmother's coffin. Assisted by some
friends, the lady has loaded some wood in
such manner that there is going to be an
explosion, some of these days that will sur
prise somebody and wreck stoye or so.
Mr.. Jack Cox of Rockbridge county, is
visiting some friends and relatives here. He
is an aged man, and although he raised
large family, he alone survives. His mental
and physical powers are still well-preserved
for man of his years, and he is fluent talk
er, and is as jolly as a boy. His friends have
enjoyed his visit among them very much
indeed

SOUTHERN FURNACES.

Southern furnaces that were making
pig iron and money a year ago when
prices were low down are now piling
mp profits. Others that have been out
of blast for years for one reason or an
other are now rcsuming operations.
The iron-making industry of che South
has. in fact, conquered an assured place
in the worlds estimation. The future
of the producing business is con
ceded by experts to be in the southern
area of cheap ores, coal and limestone.
The making of steel is next to be at
tempted on a large scale in Alabama
and in Tennessee. Hitherto the pro-
duction of steel has been experimental.
An experimental plant at Birmingham
has demonstrated, it is said, that good
steel can be made cheaper at Birming-
ham than anywhere else. Steel has
been made from Birmingham pig by
the basic process at Pittsburg and
Cleveland and the same thing can, of
course. be done, but cheaper, in Ala
bama. Steel billets, plate, structure
shapes and rails are to be attempted a
Birmingham by company which is
being organized. 1t Is q mistake to
suppose that enterprise is lacking to
the South. 1t is doubtful whether
there is now section of the country in
which enterprise is so wide awake as in
the Gulf States. Capital has been ac-
cumulated steadily there in recent
years and it is ready to push demon
strably paving ventures.-BGH. Sun.
