WILL FEED CROWDS.
4 Contract for BOARDING Eight Reg
iments Awarded.

4 Contract for boarding Eight Reg
iments Awarded.
A big contract was awarded yesterday
to Messrs r. M. Hicks, Joseph Fried and
w. l.. Grayson They will feed all the
regiments of volunteer troops that are TO
come to Savannah TO be mustered out Of
the service. The troops Will not be fed by
the contractors all the time they are here.
Each regiment will be fed for the five
days Immediately preceding its muster out.
Bids We're opened day before yesterday
by Maj. O.. w. Ruthers, depot commits
sarv. and the successful bidders have been
notified OF the awards. They win begin on
the Maine Artillery Tuesday morning, and
each of the other commands will be taken
up as the time draws near for its muster
out.
Bidders were required TO give not only
their prices for supplying the men with
food, but also list OF what they proposed
to give them. Bills of fare accompanied
the prices. 1t was as much for what they
agreed to furnish as for their low prices
that Messrs. Hicks. Fried and GraysoE
were given the contract. The food embrace
ed in the bill of fare will give the soldiers
one or two deTicacies they have not been
enjoying in the army as a part of the
Diet Of the government Eggs are on the
list, and pickles and one or two other
things the soldier does not see ordinarily
on his meat can.
IL is said about. 900 Is In II for the
contractors with the regiments now under
+ orders 10 be mustered out here. 1t is said,
however, that any more regiments to come
will come in for a taste of the same fare
from the same contractors. 80 there may
be even more coming the way of the sue
cessful bidders than the amount mention
ed.
All cooking and serving will be at the
camps Cooks will be employed by the
contractors, and the men will have moth
ing to do with the preparation of the food
1t is thought the plan will be for one
big regimental kitchen to be used instead
of one for each company, as is the custom
in the army. A big supply of cooking uten-
sis and tableware win be needed, and the
contractors are now buying II up
The final work of mastering out the
commands is such as to make II impossible
for she government to continue its issue
az radons without great inconvenience and
Interference with details. 1t is for this
reason the plan of awarding the feeding OF
the enlisted men by contract is adopted
There were many bidders for the con-
tract, restaurateurs from Macon and Au-
gusta being among the dozen or more who
wanted the business.

TWO HORSETHIEVES
CAPTURED BY SUTTON AND
MASSEY.
Sheriff of sumner County Came At
ter Them Last Night.

John Harrison and Bert Bressler, two
supposed horse thieves who stole a team
Of horses from Wellington Friday night,
came 70 grief when they struck Wichita
Both were arrested yesterday afternoon
by officers Sutton and Massey. The Of
fcers made quick work Of It, as the two
men were. apprehended and lodged in the
city jail at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
They. were arrested about five miles south
cf the city. The officers spotted Harrison
and Bressler early yesterday morning and
began at once 10 rake up evidence, while
al the same time keeping track Of the
men. After satisfying themselves that
the two men were horse-thieves, they
tracked them to where they thought the
horses were, as the men had contracted 10
bring the animals in for sale late in the
evening. The horses were left tied out
bout I'VE miles south OF the city, and
when the thieves went TO get them the
officers followed close behind The horses
had broken loose, and the officers discoy-
cred the men hunting for them and saw
them isquiring Of farmers along the way.
Finally the officers thought it best to ar
TEST the men at once and find the horses
afterwards. and they slipped around
among the brush and came out on the
men. who were in a field. They called to
the men to threw up their hands, which
was done quickly, and they were put I'M
der arrest and brought back to the Gig.
The horses were found FIVE miles further
from town grazing alosg the road. On ar
irving IN the city the officers were shown
message from Wellington notifying
them TO be on the lookout for the thieves
ard desc ibirs the horses. The thieves
and horses tsIied exactly with those the
officers had captured. The sheriff of
sumner coul-y was notified Of the arres :
and came uF late last night with a wa
rant for the men. He said the team was
stolen froia his arother-is-law. named Svi

HOGS 2E2 HIGHER
Good Saturday Run But
Quality Poor.
TOPS UP TO $3.50
To Cattle Market From No
offerings.

Steady and strong marked most OF the
western live stock centers yesterday and
enc local market responded with quo
table tone even stronger. This market
was strong and about 212 cents higher
with very fair line Of stock in for the
last day of the week. and the quality
never better than fair and much Of 1t
common. The receipts came in in small
lots for the early part of the day and
the wagon trade was very light and
practically amounted 10 nothing. This
Is usually the case for the last day Of
the week. and this was not unexpected.
As a matter of fact, the total receipts
showed. up better than either the day
previous or the same day last week and
for the day We're very satisfactory. The
business Of the day was mostly done TO-
ward the close, and several cars came in
late which were not expected. However,
the entire list Of offerings was easilydis-
posed Of and buyers came back 10 secure
the last Of the run. The quality was not
much 10 be especially proud of, but new
ertheless the offered stuff was disposed Of
at once and a the best prices possible.
The hogs which crossed the scales were
in all cases ~ cents higher while strong
was the best that came from the early
reports of other markets. The run was
considerably better than Friday, and
slightly in advance of the Saturday pre-
vlous. The scattering small punches Of
wagon hogs were quickly snapped up and
the trading in the hog hivision anguish
ed for the rest Of the day until the car
stuff commenced 10 arrive There were
six cars weighed up and sold, and though
their grade was low. they had no iiT;cuty
in being disposed Of. The avera &c weig ht
was 10 pounds better than Cor the same
day last week and four pouads better
than for Friday. The tons were < cents
better than for either Of the two cOmpar-
ing days and the load which brought K
was made up Of heavies in very fair con-
dition. The week has been very fair all
around, and shippers have no complaint
On the contrary many have expressed
their entire satisfaction with conditions
as they found them. Three days out Of
the week the tone and quotation of this
market have been better than other west
ern markets, showing the natural inher-
ent strengaht of this point.
