His Four Hundred Dollars Gone

His Four Hundred Dollars Gone.
About the hour Of a. IN. last Monday
night the home of Herman Wagner, the
honest old town COW herder, was entered
and robbed of $500 in cash. The robbery
was boldly and fearlessly executed by per-
sons who knew precisely where the new
ssKlondike" was located and the shortest
and safest route to it. Mrs. Wagner was
sitting up with a sick child, and had q
lamp burning brightly. Hearing noise
on the porch she opened the door. and
instantly q revolver was leveled at her
head. She tainted and while one man
stood guard over her the other entered
an adjoining room and took the money
from trunk wherein it was concealed -
When Mrs. Wagner recovered the men
were gone. She aroused Mr.. Wagner
who was sleeping soundly in another
room, and discovering his loss at once
notified Sheriff Bell. Deputies were
promptly dispatched to the scene, but no
definite clues were obtained. The money
consisted of twenty $40 treasury notes.
Mr.. Wagner had talked promiscuo'lsly
about having the money and Of his desire
to invest it in farm. In this way it Is
supposed the fact that he possessed 80
snug q SUM became generally known. as
we'll as where the money was kept.

A Home in u Cab0Ose.

On Saturday we were invited by Con-
ductor E. r. Mclaughlin, to visit his
car, No. l62, then standing on the track
in front of the magnificent depot build
ing. Mac and his crew had on that morn
ing arrived from Newton with ''prefer-
red freight" train. This car Mac has had
for ten years past, though he has been
conductor on both freight and passenger
trains for much longer time. The OBJ
iect of the invitation was to show the ed
itor how the trainmen enjoy living. We
found a neat aud tidy car with cooking
u. engagements complete. A small cook
lug stove is attached to the heating stove,
and here is where the boys do their cook
ing. They have places or closets where
they keep their provisions, and they have
everything the market affords. Meals
are served at regular hours while on the
road, an uncommon practice for railroad
men. Brakeman Mclaughlin. (nO rela-
ton to the conductor,) is the principal
cook, and he has the reputation of getting
up a good meal. A short time ago, the
Ole Oleson troupe, whose car was being
carried by this fast freight train from
Newton to Dodge City, in charge of Con-
ductor Mclaughlin, felt the pangs of hun
ger before reaching the eating station,
aud appealed to the trainmen for relief
Conductor Mclaughlin said if they were
willing to eat what his cookery depart
ment afforded, his brakemen could serve
them. The troupe pronounced the meal
served on the caboese the most enjoyable
one they had had in long time.
The cost of the three men is about SIC
or S11 month, though they are not or
the road more than half the time. In
leaving home at an unreasonable hour the
trainmen prepare their meals Oh the cal
at the proper time, and thus their families
are put to no discOmforts, by irregulari'
ties. Comfortable hunks in the car fol
sleeping, aud everything in apple pie or
der suggested to US that Mclaughlin.

There was once an editor who was most

They tell good joke on one of our
most industrious and prosperous business
men. He was invited by travelling man
to dinner at the new railway depo: hotel.
The waiter appeared aud presented
bill of fare to each one. The travelling
man, who is accustomed to these elaborate
details of gastronomy dashed off This or
DER without ceremony. To the bashful
guest, who did not want to show igno-
rance, he was content with enumerating
some of the articles on the lower list.
When the waiter served the dinner,
the travelling man had nearly everything
the bill of fare calls for, while his guest
was served with three pieces of different
kinds of pie. Thinking perhaps that the
waitress misunderstood him, the travel
ing mans guest pointed to other articles
on the bill of fare, and the waiter soon
returned with = dish of sweet potatoes.
The travelling man saw the embarrassment
of his guest, whom he bad before not de-
sired to remind him Of his verdancy, and
he requested the waiter to bring his
guest 'sgood dinner" Now, when 1t
came to devouring the eatables.the lodge
City man needed no highly scented
menu, printed in delectable French to tell
him how to eat. He proceeded In the
manner common to those who understand

The other evening a gang OF lawyers
who were attending court in Dodge City,
gathered in the Office of Ed Madison to
smoke and swap stories. During the
course of the evening prominent Dem
ocratic Dodge City :lawyer told this one
on, B. F. Milton, now one of the judges
OF the court Of appeals. Several years
ago Judge Milton, then a young and YER
dant Missourian, had just been admitted
to the practice. Ford county was never
very certain politically, and in the course
of q couple of years Milton was elected
county attorney. though he was Missouri
Democrat. In the course Of his career as
county attorney he was called on to pros
ec,,te one of the children of Ham. Among
the citizens called into the jury box was
an AGED man known as DR.. Galland, a man
of infinite humor. but with cOuntenance
full of sadness, and also Of extraordinary
Innocence for . mas of his years. When
the young county attorney cast his optic
on the old man it occurred to him there
might be q chance for some innocent d.
version. After asking the doctor his
name, age and place Of residence. Mr..
Milton continued: "Mr. Galland, are you
related in any way to the defendant BY
blood or marriage?'' The look Of limo
cent, sad surprise seemed to deepen on
the old mans countenance - be promptly
answered: 'No, Mr.. Milton, l am moi
from Missouri" A deep silence fell on
