The Cattle Stealing Case.

The District Court has been occupied
this week in the hearing of the testimony
against w. II. Garrett. charged with
cattle stealing. C. w. Smith, who ia
mainly implicated of this change, made
confession of his guilt. About twenty
witnesses have been summoned. A jury
was empaneled Monday afternoon.
County Attorney Kirkpatrick and NJ. w.
Sutton.are the attorneys for the prosecu-
ton and Ed. H. Madison for the defense.
About Is head of cattle were stolen
from the range in the Panhandle early
last summer, and were driven to a ranch
In Hodgeman, near the Ford county line.
Smith and Garrett, who are charged with
stealing the cattle, sold them to Ripple
Bros. of this city, receiving in cash the
sum of sl.037. The sale occurred on the
10th of June, 1896. Ripple Bros. sustain
this loss, having returned the cattle to
the owners, and paid in cash to them for
few head Of the cattle slaughtered.
The hearing of the case has attracted
some interest, and has been holly con-
tested by the attorneys on both sides.
Ford county unfortunately bears the
expense of this trial, which must amount
to considerable sum before its close.
The stealing took place in Beaver county,
Oklahoma, and one of the parties in the
prosecution resides in another county.
The mileage of witnesses from the
territory will Ike paid only from the south
line of Ford county.
The jury have been out since yesterday
morning at IL O'Clock, and were still out
at noon, unable to agree.

Fire Guards Law

In speaking of the Watson law, pass
ed by the last Legislature, compelling
townships to pillow fire guards and burn
off between, Capt. Churchill Of Dodge
City is reported by the Topeka Capital
to say:
''Ihis law has proved of the greatest
value to western Kansas, in the way of
preventing the spreading of disastrous
prairie fires which have in former years
started from railroads.
"The carrying out of this law with the
safety it insures to life and property, will
induce immigration. 1t will induce men
to invest and return to the almost aband-
oned cattle industry, for the danger Of
the ranges being burned off will be pre-
vented. The fires accidentally started
from other sources can be kept within a
township and can easily be subdued and
cOntI oiled.
ut is to be regretted the tax depart
msnts of the railroads have refused to
pay the small additional tax necessary to
meet the expense of blowing and burning
these guards, for the railroads would be
saved many thousands of dollars of
damage claims, not taking into con-
sideration that new immigration will
consider favorably such protection against
the terrible ravages Of the prairie fires"

GREATER NEW YORK q. A.. us.
Herr Tamsen's Association organizing in
sIxty-one Assembly Districts.

There is one political organization in this city
which considers the Greater New York consol-
idation scheme as good as accomplished and Is
already organizing for the municipal fight OF
next year on that theory. The member of this
organization were known in 1904 and last year
as Garoos. This year they dropped the word
reform " from their name. and now they call
their organization the German American Union.
Herman Riddcr OF the StddtS Zeitung. Internal
Revenue Collector Edward Crosse. and Sheriff
amsen are among tho leaders. The plan of the
new organization as outlined by Mr.. Ridder
yesterday is briefly this:
There are FiNly-One Assembly districts in tho
Greater New York, with parts Of three others.
The %factions, for the purposes OF the county or
gnnizatiOn, Will lie treated IA parts each ~ an
adjoining district, There will be n General COM

They Go to Newark for Fun md Are
Trapped and Tanned by the Police.


Trapped and Tanned by the Police.
The Perry Guards OF this city left town yes-
terday TO show the people of New Jersey what
a good old fashioned target association looked
like. The guards numbered 40. They were
attired in blue flannel shirts. wore their trou-
sers belted. and carried old fashioned muskets.
They marched through Newark shouting and
whoopinR and passed the day in Caledonia
Park. At night when they started for home
their ranks showed wide gaps.
When the guards arrived at the Market
Street Station of the Pennsylvania Railroad
they were received with marked courtesy.
They attempted TO go into the station by the
same way as the other passengers, but were in
formed that special arrangements had been
made for them. and were led to the enclosure
through the big iron gates; AS. soon, as they
were safely enclosed twenty-five Newark police
men. under tho leadership of Sergeant Noll.
appeared, and then the visiting New Workers
saw that they had been trapped.
The reason was that on their way out TO New
ark in the morning the guards had refused to
give up tickets or pay fares on the train. The
conductor could do nothing against 10 turbu-
lent men. and they got of the train at Newark
without paying. Tho railroad officials notified
tho police, who lay in wait for them. and
trapped them as related.
The police Sergeant ordered the leaders OF the
guards to give up their tickets to him. The men
refused at first. but the Sergeant said that I'M
less the tickets were given up at once the whole
lot would sleep In q Jersey jail. There was
more wrangling, but the upshot was that the
guards gave up their tickets. A depressing
change came over the guards and they boarded
the train without q whoop.

HE'S BAD. IS GALLAGHER.
Loses Himself just for Fun. and to Worry
Papa and the Police.

Little hvc-year-old Freddie Gallagher disap-
peRred yesterday morning from In front OF his
home at 100 Bedford avenue, Williamsburgh
AT s O'Clock last night his father, Thomas Gal
lagher. went to the Bedford avenue station and
asked Sergeant Kohlmnnn to send out q general
alarm.
IL don't know what to do with that boy, said
Gallagher. Week after week he disappears
In Just the same way. and his mother is almost
worried TO death. lie knows his name as well
as | know my own. yet when he is picked up by
q policeman he doesn't know anything. Time
and again his mother has sewed his name and
address in the lininG Of his hat, in his coat, and
In his trousers. yet the boy has always torn II
out and disappeared Just hs usual"
Gallagher left a description Of the clothing his
son wore and went out.
THAT boy" said the Sergeant TO n Sun re-
porter. has become a nuisance. He purposely
loses himself so that n policeman can pick him
up and take him to n station house. Then tho
little rascal delights TO hear the alarm sent out
for him. All the time. mind you. he knows his
name and also where he lives. lie will sit in a
citation house for hours rather than tell the
police who he IL. At night sometimes from far
off precincts we will get u message telling us to
notify his folks that he 10 at this or that pre-
cinct. and for his father to go and get him."
Until u late hour last night Gallagher had not
heard anything OF the boy.
