Robbers Caught.

A few weeks ago an old man by the
name of Jacob Williams was held up
and robbed near BUTLER in Little River
township. of about ninty dollars, by a
couple of masked men. The authOri-
ties have been on the alert and on
Tuesday and Wednesday three arrests
were made. Dick Hodge had been
shadowing a fellow who formerly
threshed In the vicinity of BUTLER but
who now lives In Wichita by the name
of VIM. Shives, and on Tuesday Jacob
Williams Jr. who was also held up
when his father was robbed, went to
Wichita and identified him.
He was brought to Hutchinson and
William Underwood living on Tenth
East was also arrested and was COM
pletely identified by both the Williams.
1t seems that UnderwOOd's mask came
off while the holdup was proceeding so
that it gave good opportunity for iden-
ti6cation. Oscar Nelson on F. East
was also arrested as be seemed to be
connected with a gun which figured in
the matter, but it appears to be doubt
full whether he can be held. The pre-
liminary was set for Wednesday before
Squire Campbell, but was continued
till Friday.
However we are informed that Mr..
Underwood's neighbors refuse to be-
lieve him guilty and say he IS hard
working man. He claims to have been
in Mt. Hope the night the robbery Oc-
Cured.

der the old, it leaves it in such shape
that the city cannot buy for ten years,
and during these ten years it is also
likely that the city will pay enough or
nearly enough in rental to pay for the
plant.
We also bear citizens complaining
that the new contract makes no real
reduction to private consumers. I'm
der the old contract we are told by re-
liable patrons, maximum rate of fifty
cents per thousand GALLONS, was fixed
but under it the water company never
in fact charged more than thirty cents,
which will probably be continued to be
charged.
There are those who are wondering
why the contract having been allowed
to drag during the year, is now being
pushed so vigorously to get it out of
the way before the city election. Too
much haste IN these matters is not des-
Iirable.

The POsIOmce.

The postOffice has been the cause of
much talk in Hutchinson again. Since
Mrs. Boards name was sent 10 the SEN
ate there has been much speculation as
TO whether she would be confirmed
On March 9Th report was given out
through the associated press that she
had been confirmed. Her friends were
very hopeful and the grizzIed old politi-
clans who had their eyes firm fixed on
the plumb began to grow nervous,
But next day word came that the con-
firmatiOn had not been made.
1t is now open. Mr.. Mead, however
can not be removed till his successor is
confirmed or while the Senate is in
session. He is thus happy in posses
sion for a little while and every day
helps little to liquidate the indebted
ness incurred by making good the
shortage.
When the question of confirmation
comes up in the Senate, if it should ap-
pear plainly that his removal was made
for political reasons, iJ is quite likely
that the silver senators will refuse to
confirm his successor whether ap-
pointed by Cleveland or Mckinley and
he will be allowed to serve out his time.

To Move the DtYIsion.

On Monday afternoon six citizens
from Nickerson including two railroad
men aud four business men were given
a hearing by the commercial club in
reference to an appeal for help to re-
tain the division station and machine
shops Of the Santa Fe at Nickerson.
This was somewhat of a surprise to GER
tain Hutchinson men as this city has
had a weather eye on the shops herself.
But it was made plain when the fact
was disclosed by the Nickerson men
and verified by some Hutchinson men
that the Santa Fe officials bad decided
that if change was made from Nick
erson they would be taken to Newton.
Newton a short time ago voted bonds
for water works, and it is understood
that the water works are not only
needed for city use but for the railroad
shops as it is a difficult and expensive
piece of business to get good supply
of water at Newton.
Other facts seemed t. show that the
Santa Fe management is seriously con
sidering the move from Nickerson to
Newton. The railroad employees of
course as we'll as the business men are
very anxious that no change should be
made as there are said to be l25 f4mi-
lies of railroad men who are property
holders in the town. Many of them
have been there for years and put their
earnings into their homes as they could
save to do 60, with the understanding
with the old management Of the road
that the division was not to be moved.
If this move should now be made it
will render this property yalueless and
would virtually wipe away all these
men have for their years of service and
toll.
As Hutchinson is large shipping
point with competitive lines Of road
thus being an object for consideration
with the management they appealed to
our commercial club TO assist in retaiE-
ing the shops in the county.
Not only is our business with Nick
erson large but the removal of the
shops would take a considerable amount
of taxable property nut of the county
aud reduce the value of 10! more.

Petty Stealing,

There appears to be a large amount
of pilfering going on in the city. In
the latter part of last week Mr. Starr, on
Tenth. East, put some hams and shout
ders out in a smoke house to smoke.
They locked the house and left the
meat hanging, and Sunday morning
on going to get it, found 1t had all dis
appeared, something about $1,000
worth.
On Monday night Mrs. ]. 7. Blaine
living at 3l4 E East, left her washing
hanging on the line, and next morning
all the hosiery and large part of the
underwear was gone.
Only few nights ago nearly dozen
chickens were stolen from Rev. D. M.
Moore.
This is a kind of stealing that bring g
cuss words to some and honor to no
body. If they would steal few thous.
and, they might get some glory with
less certainty of punishment.
Hutchinson gazette. [volume] (Hutchinson, Kan.) 1895-1902, 1897-03-11

debtedness is. and whether it is any
such amount as this, we are unable to
tell. But the bonds, if voted and is
sued, will bear interest at not a less
rate than the scrip and cannot not be
paid under twenty years. They are
not to draw more than six pei cent,
Atsix per cent during the twenty years
the face of the bonds will have been
paid ana twenty per cent besides, and
the principle will still be left to pay.
By a little heavier rate of taxation,
it seems as though these obligations
might be paid off in much less time.
However, one cannot but realize that
the tax rate is now very high, but
what better is the prospect for the
future?
Of course, the funding Of this in
debtedness and starting out on a cash
basis would help the labOrers who have
to discount their warrants, and 1t
would also doubtless be Of service to
j0bberS in bonds and city warrants. To
run little lndebt with current
expenses and then fund the SCRIP, is an
easy and seductive way of developing
a bonded Indebtedness. The enter
prise is very questionable. 1t has
been reported that by the terms of the
bill, three ffths vote 10 Iequlred to
issue the bonds but this is mistake.
A bare majority only is needed.

John Myers made a trip to the east

two or three days at Topeka, trying TO
get the legislature set right. He was
there first just when they were working

VINO would be supposed to vote for the
maximum rate bill had left them. OF
these, seven were pOpulists, three free
silver republicans and six we're demo-

last Of the week, they were working
on the text book bill, and the forces
seemed to be working better together,
but the republicans were fillibustering
aud doing all they could to prevent
action.

The old trick of borrowing teams
hitched on the streets, for short drive
without asking the owner, has been
perpetrsted in Hutchinson lately. Mr..
Fleming, a farmer, a short distance

and when he went after it, it was gone.
The police we're notified and Mr.. Elem.
ing went home. Later in the night
they were returned.
