BiGnOn Attending Chicago Banquet

Hon. Fleming G. duBignon returned yes
terday from Atlanta, where he argued
a case before the Supreme Court. Mr.
duBignon went to Atlanta direct from Ha-
vana, having made the trip in remarkably
short time. He left Havana last Satur-
day at noon, and arrived in Atlanta Mon.
day at noon. His visit to Havana was il
connection with the establishing of this

there.
The unexpected trip to Havana precluded
Mr.. duBignons attending the banquet Of

had been specially invited to speak as

doubtless a disappointment TO his friends
in Chicago, who were anxious to hear Mr.

of pine. The Big Horn reserve in Wyo-

in that preserve seems to go into its

are over foot in diameter. We esti-

ing for Sir Thomas Upton, said the two

evening, that Captain Parker is here
with Emperor Williams permission,
but please make it plain that he has
nothing whatever to do with the sail
ing and management of the shamrock
Cantains Hogarth and Wringe are in
supreme command, and one of them
has the tiller at all times during the
races. The report that Captain Parker
steered the Shamrock during Tuesday s

Daylight Thieves Break In and
Steal

The residence of w. F. Cotton, treas
urer of the Rio Grande Western. at 70
West Fifth South, was ransacked and
looted between and 8 O'Clock last night
by burglars the family being away from
the city. The men were seen in the house
by George Moore. a young man employed
in the treasurer's office, who has been
sleeping at the house and two other boys,
and though the police were on the scene
one minute after receiving the message,
the burglars had flown What they Sc
cured cannot be learned until the return
of the family.
Moore was returning to the house to
sleep when the flash OF a dark lantern in
the upstairs rooms attracted his atten-
ton. He and his two companions also
spied a man on the porch, evidently keep
ing watch while the other was in the
house. The young men, in their excite
ment, said something about sending for
the police and took themselves off to a
safe distance, when the men got out of it:
officer Davies jumped on his wheel
when word was received at police head
quarters and reached the scene in min
ute. Two minutes later Patrol Driver
Cannon and Officer Pack were there with
a wagon, but to no avail. The house was
overturned from cellar to garnet.
