their names as Mrs. Finley and
and Mrs. Zellers, and claim.
ing Chicago as their home, have
worked the merchants of ElDorado
Springs, Nevada, Lamar and other
| towns in the southwest and IN Kan
sas. Their plan of operation was to
visit town and one of the women
would go to dry goods store and
carry off dress patterns for the
inspection of the other, who was to
purchase the pattern that suited her.
OF course none of the goods were
returned. By the same means the
clothing and shoe stores were visited
and treated in a like manner The
women were arrested at Eureka,
Kansas, the other day Their store
house was located at Paola, Kansas,
where large amount of goods OF all
kinds has been found, which had
been stolen by these women from
merchants all over the country.
Had Sheriff Mudd and Policeman
Kelly received card they did Friday
little sooner, they would have I'M

thieves in this city. The two men
were here with five head Of horses,
which they had stolen from near
Yates Center, Kansas, and making
desperate efforts to dispose of the
animals at about half their value, as
all the horses were good ones. How.
ever, they succeeded in letting go of
two, one to John Ferguson for $40,
and the other to AIR. Ely, living two
miles east of town, for S45. After
disposing of these horses, the two
thieves became somewhat nervous
for fear of detection, and taking the
other three horses left town, going
south. The last heard of them they
passed movers camp near Shobe,
taking the road leading west of Rich
Hill. Sheriff Mudd. on receiving
word of the stealing few hours
after the thieves had gone, immsdi
stely notified the officers at Rich
Hill, and also sent deputy sheriff
MeCapn IN pursuit The sheriff of
Yates Center also arrived in time to
join in the chase and at last accounts
they were on hot trail with fair
prospects of overtaking the thieves.
The two horses sold in this city were
ideHtiisd by the Kansas sheriff, and
John Ferguson was employed to
return them to their owners and he

The Trouble Arose Over Property.

The Trouble Arose Over Property.
We are called upon to record an
other dark page of tragedy in the
many that go to make up Bates
county's history.
| On last Wednesday young Dave
Edwards, son of e1-county Judge
D. o. Edwards, of Grand River, came
to town and surrendered to the sher-
if, stating that he had shot and
probably fatally wounded his
brother-in-law, Martin Shafer, in
dispute over the possession of real
estate. Later his statement was
verified by messenger from Altoona.
Judge d. V. Brown went to Altoona
and took Skaters sworn statement,
which, in substance, was that he and
his wife had rented piece of ground
belonging to his wife, frsm the
Edwards estate, to his brother, Fred |
Shafer. That Dave Edwards drove |
into the field and began to unload q
plow. That he went to Edwards |
and protested that the land belong.
ed to his wife and ordered him off. |
That Dave cursed him. Told Ed
wards that he was the cause of the |
trouble between he and his wife. |
Dave said he was liar, struck him
with the lines and jumped behind the
plsw and began to draw his pistol. He
said he told Edwards he was a cow
ard and that no was not afraid of
his pistol. Edwards then shot him |
and after he fell he said "G-D-yors
I will finish you right here" He
begged him not to shoot sgain. He
claimed not to have had q weapon OF
any kind and did not attempt to get |
one.
On the other hand, Edwards |
friends claim that Shafer was the
aggressor. That he had much
trouble with young Edwards and his
sister Hattie, besides his wife, which
had eliminated in several lawsuits.
That the land on which the shooting
was done belonged to Hattie and
not to Skaters wife, and that only
the day before the final trouble
Shafer told neighbor that he knew
young Edwards was carrying pistol
for him, but that he was afraid to
use it and that he (Shafer,) would
kill him (Edwards). The TINES, of
course, does not vouch for the truth
OF any of these rumors.
The ball struck Shafer just below
the left nipple and passed through |
his lungs and lodged near the spinal
column and he is paraIizsd from that
point down. The doctors claim that |
he has about one chance in one thous-
and to recover.
A TINES reporter tried to interview
young Edwards, but he refused to
say anything about the trouble
