RESIDENCE ROBBED.
H. KISsEE's HOUSE ENTERED
AND S2s5 EXTRACTED FROM
A DRAWER.
The Thieves Leave No Clue Upon Which
Officers May Work Cheyenne Suf-
fers From the Pilfering of the
Light Fingered Gentry-City Editor
Walker Tapped.

Robbers are abroad in the land, and
Laramie has suffered her first robbery
Of any Consequence in some time. Last
evening Mrs. J. H. Kissee left her resi-
dence at $50 in the evening and went to
the dancing school at North Star hall.
Mr.. kissee works us fireman in the cleo
trio light works at night and was also
absent from home during the evening.
Mrs. kissee returned about II o'clock
and 1t once discovered that burglars
had been in the house. The window to
the kitchen had been pried open and an
entrance effected through it. Without
disturbing a thing in the rear portion OF
the house, the burglar went to the front
bedroom and ransacked the drawers Of
a commode, securing $2S5 in bills. This
was all the robber wanted and he evil
IDENTIFY left the premises in the same
manner that he entered.
On the sill of the window through
which the entrance was made there lay
a 22-calibre revolver. and other small
articles were about in handy places, but
nothing tempted the thief but the cold
cash.
From the manner in which the theft
was committed, it is believed by Mr.. and
Mrs. Kissee that the person who did
the job was familiar with the premises
and not a stranger in the city.
There is not a clue for the officers IL
work upon. and it is hardly probable
that the thief will be caught.

4 SUNDAY BLAZE.
Alert and Durant Fire Wagons Narrow
ly Escape a Collision.

Shortly after l o'clock Sunday after
o o an alarm called the fire depart
ment out to the corner Of Twenty-sixth
street and Warren avenue, where a
small barn was wrapped in flames and
nearly destroyed. Owing to u delay in
turning in the alarm and the long run
for the fire wagons. the building could
not be saved. 1t is reported hat some
youngsters who were smoking cigar
cites set the building on fire.
The Alerts made the run to the fire
with their new horse and wagon and,
considering the little training the horse
and men have had and the large mum
Der of men who piled on the wagon,
the distance was covered in remarkably
short time. Indeed, they were not far
behind the Durants.
What might have been a serious acct
dent, but which was narrowly avoided,
occurred at the corner OF Capitol ave-
u and T~wenty-first street. The Du-
rants left their house on Eddy street
and ran to Twenty-first. Turning on
that street Driver Bell spoke to his
horses and they dashed eastward. The
Alerts after making a fine hitch, sped
up Capitol venue to Twenty-first street,
arriving there at the same time as the
Dur2nts. For a time it looked as though
a disastr ouS collision was inevitable. but
both drivers pulled their horses in oppo-
site directions. The heavy fire wagons
slued terribly. threatening to throw the
fire laddies out, but with only an inch
to spare. the wagons passed the corner
safely. Driver Bell spoke to his horses
again and gradually drew away from the
Alert hose and ran to a plug on House
street.
Every one who witnessed the occur
renee at the corner Of Capitol avenue
and T~wenty-first street say that the driv-
ers OF both wagons acted the man in the
matter and tried to get out Of each 9TH
er's way.-Cheyenne Tribune.

Sept. 20. 1897. The offerings this
W Eek were composed very largely Of
common Jugs and common to medium
leaf, for which there is no special de
maud outside of the spectators, so
prices were irregular. On Tuesday
in the opening sale, prices ruled from
&c to &c loser, but recovered in the
closing sales fully up to last weeks
prices. There is considerable private
selling carried on. caused by the loose
buyers becoming quite active in the
last two weeks in this and other sec
tions, also in Robertson county, Tenn.
They are paying from l0c to Ice
round for best crops, which appears
little steep, as it is impossible to ex-

been in order since cured. Hence
there seems to be fight on between
the country dealers and the reggie
buyers to get the best crops this
year.
