HORSES AND BUGGY STOLEN
Highwaymen Borrow From Three Differ
eat Farmers and Leave.

Word came to police headquarters yes
terday of robbery which for plain nerve
is n good one. The robbery occurred
near Whitewater. The thieves captured
fine pair of horses ard two sets Of mar
ness from one man. They then went on
little further and stode bran new
buggy. To this they attached the two
horses. After travelling about a mile the
discovery was made than one of the
no! ses had gone lame They did not hes
itAte as TO what course 10 pursue but
took out the lame one and turned her
loose and stole another horse from a
nearby barn. which they hitched up and
went on with. Both animals were dark
in color, one being brow, the other d
bay, and both were mares 1t is thought
the thieves were two strangers who have
been loafing around the neighborhood
recently and who had no apparent object
in so doing. They disappeared at the
same time that the robbery was COM
mitted. II seems strange that anyone
would steal horsefesh now when il is
worth almost nothing, unless it is fine
racing stock, but then when the habit is
once acquired il seems 10 be very hard
or impossible to get rid Of it. 1t is sup
posed that the robbers went south, and
now perhaps are safely over the terri
tory line

'The farmers will have to organize
and do some shooting or hanging, said
Chief of Police Burt last night.
The statement was made as he looked
over tee police department mail and saw
nothing but notices of stealing, from ev-
cry direction.
The probability is that at no time since
the early days, when this section of the
country wes infested by outlaws, has
stealing been carried on to such an eX-
tent as al present, and its popularity IS
that il has been almost exclusively IN
the rural districts. Night before last
fine team Of horses were stolen from near
Whitewater, another team from Peck.
a team of mules from the vicinity OF Val
ley Center. and harness from different
places. Hogs and chickens Were also
stolen and a report came last night that
two loads OF wheat were stolen from a
former in Waco township.
Out at Mrs. Nash's there was steal
ing that came near resulting in q serious
fatality. Mrs. Nash lives seven miles
west of Wichita, on the Thirteenth
street road, and she is hard of hearing.
About midnight William Cook and Hold
w
as they were passing Mrs. Nash's house
they saw a team tied near the stable.
They knew that the team did not belong
to Mrs. Nash and they surmised that
something was wrong. They pounded on
the door and awakened a hired man
named Peterson. He came out, revolver
in hand, and he, with Mr.. Cook and Mr..
Lawson, commenced investigation. They
found two men, who were stealing har-
ness, crouching behind the barn, and
upon being discovered, they ran. Mr..
Cook and Mr. Lawson ran towards the
strange team TO prevent the thieves from
getting possession of it. Peterson in chas-
ing the thieves got turned around and
when he saw Cook and lawson rum
ming towards the wagon he mistooh them
for the fleeing thieves and began shoot
ing at them. Mr.. Cook and Mr.. Lawson
shouted to him to stop and he Instantly
recognized their voices and ceased shoot
ing IF he had not recognized them.
some one might have been killed. In
The meantime the two thieves made their
escape, leaving their team and wagon
behind.
Investigating the wagon, three sets of
harness and a saddle the property of
Mrs. Nash. were found there ready TO
be taken away. The captured team and
wagon were brought TO town yesterday
and were recognized as the property OF
Jim Sutton. Who the parties are that
had it are as yet unknown. The matter
is now in the hands of Detectives Wood
and Sutton, and there is hardly a doubt
but what some arrests will be made.
According to Chief Burt, there seems
to be an understanding among the
thieves working in the various local.
ties. For instance, the man who steals
anything here will sell 1t at Hutchinson,
the man stealing at Hutchinson will sell
his plumber at Newton. and the Newton
thief will dispose Of his booty in Wich-
tia. This makes ii a hard matter for
the police to remedy the trouble for the
reason that each set OF policemen are
confined to work in their own city. He
believes that the farmers will be COM
PEELED to organize among themselves and
that thieving will never be stopped until
an example is made of some one.

The quarterly conference of the
st. George Stake convened at p.
m. on Sunday, September 10, 1896,
Daniel ID. Macarthur presiding.
President Macarthur welcomed the
people assembled and hoped all
would be partakers of the spirit of
God that we may all be benefited
by meeting together.
Apostle Lyman spoke on the ordi-
nance of baptism and advised those
holding positions as bishops and
leading men in the church not to be
in hurry to baptize men and wo-
men. but take time and see that they
are in harmony with the doctrines
of the church, and see that they
have forsaken their sins and are
worthy to be baptized. He advised
the bishops to notify the people that
all who desire baptism should be
present at fast meeting on the first
Thursday in the month, then exam
inc them and if they are found to be
worthy then baptize them, but il
they are not worthy, give them more
time that they may show by theil
works that they are truly sincere
The bishops are the judges in these
matters, but if they neglect these
matters they will not be blameless.
At the Priesthood meeting Apos
tie LYMAN said hereafter when mis-
sionaries are wanted the presidents
of the different Stakes will be mott
fed how many are required out o

A TRIP 10 THE GRAND CANON
OF THE COLORADO.
Trumbull. Arizona.

Almost a mile from camp is a
deep side canon extending at right
angles to the river, which we enter.
The east wall is formed by red, a
black and red cliff, and small
gray ones. A large knoll of vol
canic dust covering an area of
more than a thousand acres and
several hundred feet high, formes
the west wall.
Now precipice having sheer
descent Of more than six hundred
feet, extends across the canon; but
by climbing backward and upward
the obstacle is passed. Now the
water hose is cached; and a little
farther on, the water cans; again
the canon ends abruptly in an
over-hanging precipice, and again
our steps must be retraced and 6
higher climb made. Now it is
easy to make slides Of sixty yards
or more in the volcouic dost with

a keen eye to avoid the dangerous
places. Giant barrel cacti grow

Prest. E. B. Snow referred to
the announcement of Priest. Wood
ruff made at the dedication of the
Salt Lake Temple wherein he told
the Latter-day Saints that the Lord
had accepted of that Temple as an
offering at their hands, and that if
the Latter-day Saints would refrain
from committing sins and keep the
commandments of God from that
time forward, their past sins would
be forgiven them. He urged the
Saints to so live that they can claim
this promised blessing.
Bishop James Andrus reported
the St. George Ward in very good
condition, and an average attend
ance of about $50 at the Sabbath
school. Reported measles, typhoid
fever and kindred diseases quite
prevalent, and the sick are being
looked after.
Elder Larson, of Rockville, re-
turned missionary, reported his min
istry in Illinois and said that many
honest souls have been added to the
church; and that great many are
seeking after the truths of the Cos
pei.
Elder Samuel H. Wells, reported
laboring in Texas over years. In
the fore part Of that time there was
a good deal of indifference about the
gospel but in the latter part of that

ter the principles of the gospel.

What Vermont Banks are Doing.

There are Is savings banks and about
the same number OF trust companies in the
state, representing over 81 900 depositors,
over 1000 of whom are residents of the
state and the amount of whose deposits is
more than 1925, ,0O0,0 900, while non-residents
have deposits to the amount of about
81, 900 900, the average amount of depos-
its to each depositor being $31l. There
in these institutions during the past year
and an increase in deposits of about
$2,000,000. This showing in state where
farming rather than industrial pursuits
largely predominates, and in the face of a
year Of unusual depression, is significant
and can readily be explained ON the
grounds that the money is coming back
from the west, where it has been the cause
of no little apprehension by reason of
depressed dividends, and possibly from
New Hampshire, where the banks have had
some bitter experience in the western home
investment.
In addition to this many nonresident
investors are sending into the state consid-
cradle money for investment i'll real estate
at a low rate of interest On the many
| thousands of dollars that have been sent
into Windham county within two OF three
years past for investment in improved real
estate, the average rate is per cent, while
the banks generally charge g.. In response
to the bond call, the Vermont banks have
signifed their intention of subscribing for
nearly 100000 on per cent basis.
Some bids have gone in on higher basis,
but they are mostly made by private par
ties, although one or two banks will bid on
basis of about 3 5-6. Two or three
banks will bid, if at all, through the syndi-
cate. Blanks are being sent to quite a
number of individuals who have made
known their purpose to bid directly to the
treasury department.-Springficld Repub-
