HIS HORSE TAKEN
Mr.. CHARLES sMYnH'S RIG TAKEN
AT 8 O'CLOCK LAST NIGHT.
lr. Smyth had His Fine Black Horse and
Front of the Irving School on North
Lawrence Avenue, While He Was Tran
xac.in- Some Business in Regard to the
Children of glrs. Tucker, He Being
Their Guardian-He TraiIed the Buggy
to Thirteenth Street.

Last night at 9 o'clock Mr.. Charley
Smyth had. his horse and buggy stolen
from in front of the Irving school house
On North Lawrence avenue.
Mr.. Smyth is guardian to the young
children of Mrs. Tucker, who resides
inst north of the school He mad some
business 10 transact with Mrs. Tucker
in regard to the children. Shortly after
nigh;-fall Mr.. Smyth drove up and tied
his horse securely TO hitchinS-post
in front OF the school. Going inside ne
transacted the business and came out
and found his horse and buggy gone
The little girl of Mrs Tucker saw him
and said: 'Ts that you, Mr.. Smyth? !
though. you had gone She then too
h m that she saw a man come up ana
unite the horse, get in and drive OF.
She paid no particular attention, think
ing il was Mr.. Smytn who was driving
away.
Mr.. Srayth then saw by the tracks
made by the wheels in the mud mat
the buggy had turned and gone SOUTH
He followed the course OF the buggy
tracks until he got TO Thirteenth street,
where he lost TIE trail because OF some
other buggy tracks. He then walked
over 10 Topeka avenue and took the
car down town. He then went over
nome and got on his saddle horse ana
CINE down town and notified Ohlcer
Stewart, who telephoned 20 Sherin
Cone Mr. Sn1yth then went out TO hunt
for hs rig The police station was noti-
fed by Mr.. Sny;h and the case was
put into the hands of the city detectives.
VINO are now on the lookout for the
stolen property. At midnight nothing had
been heard of the horse or buggy. Sher-
IF Cone teiephoned that he would go
out Immediately in pursuit Of the
thieves. He was telephoned to at late
hour, and could not be reached.
It was a very bold robbery and might
be said to have been done within the
very sight Of Mr. Smyth, az he was only
short distance away.
The buggy is a fine rubber-tred rig
and could not be heard when running.
The horse is handsome big animal,
good traveller and quite valuable. AS the
thiexes only had about two hours the
start OF the officers, they viii probably
be caught before the day is out.
Examine the labels and trademarks of
proprietary articles. limitations are COM
mon. and in some cases the difference
between them and the genuine is 50
Slight as TO escape careless observation.
Beware Of dishonest shopkeepers AMI
statesmen.

ALONG THE WHARVES.

The Wakefield is the only one of the
regular river boats now running.
The II. B. Quinby, Capt, Kent, leaves to-
day for Cone river. She carries 700 cats
of manure.
The Ephen Annie, Capt. Travers, left
Riley's manure wharf this morning with
load of fertilizer, bound for Curtis Bay.
The three-masted schooner Lulu Burton.
Capt. Daily, arrived late yesterday from
Portland, Me. She carries 1000 barrels
OF Portland cement, consigned to Clark
Bros.
Manure shippers say that in spite of the
dizziness in other lines, they are enjoying
an excellent season, and their shipments
this fall and winter are greatly in excess
of those of any corresponding period.
The Harry Randall is tied up at her
wharf, since last Friday, and is undergoing
necessary repairs. She will make her reg
uiar trips, commencing with the first Sun
day in February, weather permitting.
Oysters did not hold the prices asked
at the wharves yesterday morning, which
were from so to 80 cents bus,iel. Oyster
men expected that the cold wave would
result in higher prices for the bivalves,
but the very large quantity on hand and
the desire of the boat owners to depart
forced the price down, and they were
plentiful at 40 and 80 cents.
