SUGAR Theft
OLIVER TEWMY ON TRIAL
Charged With Stealing a Carload OF
Sugar


Oliver Tewmey was put on trial in the
district court yesterday on the charge of
stealing car load of sugar from a car
in the Rock Island company's yards in
this city some time in August. The crowd
in the court room was hardly less than
attended Paddy Shea's trial all last week
Agent Herbig of the Rock Island was
put on the stand yesterday after the first
Car Clerk Dillon.
Mr.. Herbig said that on the morning of
the 18th, when he was informed of the
theft. he went to the car, checked up the
goods left and found that there were
about 76 sacks of sugar gone. He found
forty-nine sacks at Tewmey's store and
one at his house.
Tewmey had claimed that he had
bought the sugar from stranger and
had got only fifty sacks. He offered to
wards Tewmey claimed that he had said
sixty sacks of sugar in his first talk with
Mr.. Herbig. The prosecution are laying
great stress on the fact that it was I'M
necessary to take the sugar away at
night if it had been bought, and that it
was hardly probable that any merchant
would buy a car load of sugar from an
entire stranger

ALL CAME At ONCE
Shower of Letters From the
Street Car Officers.
BONDS ARE NOW SOLD
Attachment of Ties is Barely
Avoided.

1t was rumored on the streets yester-
day that F. w. Bentley would attach the
ties piled up on Oak street for the new
street railway for shipping charges. The
report was that the new company had
failed to meet the terms of their con-
tract with the city to rebuild and re-
equip the system and that the whole
thing was done. This rumor was colored
much by the statement of Secretary
Jobes sent to the street railway employees
and printed in the Eagle last week. In
substance the letter stated that the en-
ployes need not longer look TO the new
company for their pay. This was follow
ed by the report that the new company
had failed to sell their bonds and that the
matter was ended in so far as the Wich-
ita Street Railway, Light and Power com
pany was concerned.
All of which probably led the railroad
officials TO the conclusion that their
claims upon the ties shipped in would
need legal process to satisfy. A letter
came to this city yesterday probably just
in time TO save the contemplated attach
ment proceedings. In fact there were
three different letters all coming about
the same time and all from different men
connected with the new company. They
have been east for some weeks complet-
ing arrangements for for the sale OF
bonds for material and equipment sup
plies.
It seems that the sale of bonds was
made and the last obstacle to a complete
finish of the road removed, and each man
was trying TO be the first to inform his
friends.
Everybody connected with the street
car system in Wichita yesterday was
happy.
w. Q. Church left Boston Sunday for
Wichita and will probably arrive by Fri
day morning. as he win confer with the
contractors in Chicago. The whole man
agement. including Mr.. Ellis, will be here,
it is stated in the letters, not later than
Monday of next week.
reporter for the Eagle tried to get
just the exact straight and detail of the
whole affair, but the local officials of the
street car company would not talk ex-
cept to say that the officers and contract
ors of the company were coming and
would have everything on the hum with
in the next two weeks.

Yesterday between the hours of II and u
the old county officers retired and were

made a speech in acknowledgment. The
county commissioners in the afternoon
went into executive session and Deacon
Wilson was made chairman.
Charley Simmons made Syle Duncan
desk president for the remainder of this

Nebraska POpulists VIII Pass Another
Freight Rate Bill.
OMAHA, Neb., March 8-The decision in
the state maximum freight raae case by
the United States Supreme Court has caused
much discussion throughout Nebraska. The
leading populists of the state are vigorous
ly asserting that an extra session must be
instantly called and another similar bin
passed with the unconstitutional features
eliminated. The law just nuilified was a
populistic measurs. 1t was passed In 1895
after warm contest and has been In the
courts since. AS the popuiists have entire
control Of the state government they can
do as they will. and 1t is likely that the
extra session viii be convened.
There was unfeigned satisfaction in local
raflroRd circles. Some raiiroaders express
themselves as fearful that the decision may
res ult in the calling Of an extra session OF
rate laws that could stand the test OF the
