Two Grips Found on the Roadside
Make Trouble.

CLAYTON, DEL, Nov. 26.-While some
young men, who reside near here, wert
out cunning a few days ago, they founC
two large grips in the woods, containing
several pairs OF new shoes and two ol
three hats.
They, little thinking of the dilemma
in which these articles would place
them, returned to the house with the
grips and contents. On their way to the
house they met man who inquired
what they had in their grips. Where
upon he was informed Of their contents.
The man drove into Smyrna and men
toned seeing these parties and of their
having the grips and shoes The man
was informed that perhaps they were
the articles stolen from a store in Ken
ton.
He Immediately telcgraphcd to Ken
ton and in a short time a man came
from that place and asked to see the
grips and shoes. lie took one grip and
2 pair Of shoes to kenton to be identified
The merchant recognized the shoes at
once and sent for the balance of them
the next day.
That night, however, the father, as he
was about to retire, saw the grip and
three pair of shoes on the table. He
took the shoes and put them in cup
board out Of the way. He went away IN
the morning and failed to tell the family
of his action.
While he was absent the man came for
the balance Of the goods and got all but
the three pairs Of shoes. When the ia
ther returned home they told him the
man had gotten the grip and the shoes it
contained, he Immediately remembered
having put these in the cupboard. He
decided to send the shoes by one of the
young men who expected to take hunt
near kenton next morning. When he
took the shoes to the store it aroused sus-
picion as to why they should still have
more of the stolen plumber. Wherpupon
the officers went and searched the house
causing the family considerable trouble
and annoyance.

SOAP MAKER KIRK DEAD.

cumbs I'm an Omaha Hotel.
Charles A. Kirk, partner in the firm of
James S. Kirk & Co., the big soap manu-
facturers Of Chicago, died Sunday night at
the Paxton Hotel, Omaha, Of heart failure.
He had been in the city since Friday, but
had made no complaint Of i'll health till
Sunday afternoon, and although no SER
ious results were anticipated, yet his per-
sonal friends kept close watch, as they
knew that Mr.. Kirk had heart weakness,
despite his rugged appearance. At 8
O'Clock when they entered his room they
found him unconscious, having suffered
an attack during the hour previous.
Every effort possible was made to re-
suscitate the unconscious man by his
physicians, and with such hopes Of success
that shortly after 10 o'clock one Of them
went to lunch, when the other began pre-
pairing additional restoratives. Just as
the patient seemed about to revive he sud-
denly died at 10: Is without having regained
consciousness.

County Treasurer Did Not Collect
Taxes-Bondsmen Are Amenable.
There is a decided controversy among
the county commissioners at Yankton in
regard to the way ID. f. Lloyd the retiring
county treasurer, left the finances. 1t APP
pears that Mr.. Lloyd made no attempt to
collect personal property taxes, and those
recorded as paid were voluntarily offered.
AS result of this neglect to collect, there
is now upon the books of the treasurer
something like $1,000 against taxpayers Of
Yankton County. 1t is we'll known fact
that law was passed in 1888, and now
stands record upon our statute books
requiring county treasurers to collect,
by distress If necessary, all per-
sonal taxes. When asked by the
board as to why he had done SO,
Mr.. Lloyd replied that to make these col
lections it would necessarily entail good
deal of expense, and as the law made no
provision for recompensing him for this
extra expense, he had allowed it to 60 by
default. The county attorney advised the
board that the treasurer's bondsmen can
be held responsible for his performance Of
this duty and they have not accepted his
final report, released him or his bondsmen,
and will not until some satisfactory ad-
justment OF the matter Is made. 1t Is
probable the case will be taken into the
courts.

Peru Must Pay In.

Peru Must Pay Up.
The administration has determined that
Peru shall pay claim for $2O0, 600 growing
out Of the outrage committed in 1885 upon
v. H. McCord, consul Of the United
States. A cable dispatch has been sent to
Mr.. Mckenzie, United States minister
stationed at Lima, directing him to inform
the Peruvian government that the case
must be settled without delay.
The cruiser Philadelphia is now on its
way to Caliao from Valparaiso. The au-
thorities say her presence in Peruvian
waters has nothing to do concerning the
McCord claim, but that her arrival at CAL
lao Immediately after the presentation of
strong note by Mckenzie is expected to
have a good moral effect.
During the revolution in Peru in 1885,
McCord, who was q railroad agent, was
ordered to place train of cars at the dis
posal Of the Peruvian officers. The order
was complied with, but the engineer gave
up the engine to the rebels. McCord was
arrested and sentenced to be shot. This
sentence was commuted, but McCord was
fined 10000 soles.
