present when Morehouse, Armour's

not know: that the formula was un-
known to him."
Castle had reached the conclusion
since he had returned to his laboratory
work in Cincinnati that the beef had
been treated with the gas formalGehyde
or the kindred solution formaline-used
as a gas as a germicide and disinfectant
and as a liquid. as a fluid, for preserv-

HE IS A YOUNG HERO
Charlie Hall stays with n Runaway
Team in spite of Danger

Charlie Hall, lad of Is years, was voted
hero by the frightened spectators who
witnessed a runaway on Main street Tues
day. in which it seemed that every mo-
ment he would lose his life or be terribly
injured. He was hauling dirt from the
excavation of the Potts Drug company
building site. and as he was dumping the
dirt at the corner of Douglas and Patti
the team became scared and started TO
run. Dirt was scattered in every direction.
The team ran wildly, but the boy manag-
ed to stay on the wagon, even though
everything else was going off. BY the time
the team got to Main street dirt. pIanks
and everything else loose had been left
behind and young Hall had got down on
the running gear. The team turned north
at Main and were on a dead run. The
boy wrapped his legs around the coupling
pole and sawed on the lines as best he
could, while the amazed spectators looked
every moment for him to be dashed to the
pavement and killed. He succeeded in
guiding the team until they got TO Pine
street, and there he was so exhausted that
he let them run into the curbing throwing
the horses 10 the pavement. Neither horse
or boy was injured in the least. The
young man resumed his work, but was

RUNS THEM DOWN
Sheriff Simmons Receivers
Stolen Team in Territory.
WAS ON TRAIL FOR DAYS
Two Horses and Spring Wag-
on Stolen at Derby.

Sheriff Simmons returned last night
after a successful trip to Newkirk, o. 7,
where he arrived Monday last, in answer
to telephone message from the marshal
that william Goldtree's team had been
found a few miles west Of there. Arriv-
ing there last Tuesday afternoon, Sheriff
Simmons. in company with Golduee'
broher, whom he had telephoned to meet
him at Newkrk, startd for Humes ranch,
whre it was stated the team could be
found Upon arriva, there and making
their wants known, Mr.. Hume told the
sheriff that he had traded for one of the
horses and one Of his men had traded for
the other MI. Hume Immediately re-
llnquished claim to the horse, which he
said he had traded for on the representa-
ton from the trader that hte team be
longed TO him, and he was anxious to get
rid az them.
The team being secured, Mr.. Goldtree
returned HON with them, while the sheriff
proceeded on the trail west to the Kaw
agency but finding no trace Of his man
there he went south through the hills for
nearly four miles, where he came across
a farmer named Val Pickering, who had
traded for the wagon, but relinquished
right to 1t upon being shown how he was
duped From there the sheriff went west
to Coolies ranch, and found that the man
had sayed there over night ad sold his
team. harness and a buggy for which he
had traded the wagon, to one Of the en-
ployes. for $50. and was given a check on
the Ponca City bank. The Sheriff fol-
lowed his man to Ponca- fully expecting
to catch him there, but was disappointed,
as the check had not been cashed. The
sheriff then drove to the man who bought
the last batch and recovered his harness,
informing the man that it was stolen. He
then had the wagon and harness brought
to Newkirk and shipped to Derby. Mar
shall Lang of Newkirk will help Sheriff
Simmons straIghten out the tangle that
was caused by the frequent trading of the
horsethief.
On his way up here last night the sheriff
witnessed an exciting incident on the
train, wherein the newsboy was the prin-
cipal and a passenger a victim of a finn
fam game. The newsboy was asked by
a passenger to change a five-dolar BILL
which he readily assented to, but on hand
ing back the change kept 81. The pas
senger accused him of working the short
change racket and called the conductor,
Al B}azier. who upon finding out Vac o;r-
cinlstances ordered the newsboy to pack
up his chest and 'eave the car at the next
station. which was Arkansas City As the
train reached the station the boy got Il
glimpse of Simmons star, and before the
train came to a standstill had made his
escape evidently thinking that the sheriff
was there to arrest him for his crime.
