SMOOTH CATTLE OPERATIONS.
Had Some Stock in Dickinson Spotted
for Stealing.

Junction City is excited over a
clever cattle thief. A man stole a
horse and saddle from near Harrington,
went to Delevan, Morris county, stole
a car of cattle, drove them to White
City, shipped to Kansas City, had the
check sent to junction City and on
Friday it was cashed in Kansas City
and returned. The cattle were driv.
en- to White City week ago Sunday
night and held there during Monday,
having missed freight. He wired
for markets that day and sauntered
around White City as though he
owned the town. The horse was
turned loose, the cattle shipped to
Kansas City, and the dealer took the
passenger east, finally coming to
Junction City and on Wednesday
presented the check for the cattle at
the Central National for deposit. The
check was taken for collection and
when the returns came placed to his
credit. Later he drew the cash and
disappeared. Saturday Mr.. Ray,
from whom the cattle were stolen,
discovered that sixteen head were
missing from bunch of 200 and be-
gan the search. He is still searching.
The thief is said to have spotted a
herd near Chapman for further oper.

ANTI-POOLSELLING.
The San Francisco Board of Super
yisors Passes the Ordinance.

SAN FRANCISCO. March 13.-The
ordinance prohibiting poolselllng,
bookmaking or betting on horse or dog
racing was passed in the Board of Su-
pervisors to-day and signed by Mayor
Phelan.
1t is conceded that the prohibition OF
pooIselling at the local horse races ana
coursing matches means the death OF
the Ingleside race track and of the
Ingleside coursing track, the betting
on which events attracting the pa
irons, whose money paid to a large ex-
tent, the expenses of the institutions.
That the ordinance will be put to
the test of the courts is unquestionable.
The Ingleside track people have invest
ed almost half million dollars in pop
ularizing the track, and it is not likely
they will permit the establishment to
be closed without making a strong re-
sistance in the courts.
The ordinance will go into effect at
once. 1t makes violation of the pro-
visions of the ordinance misdemeanor
and provides a penalty of a fine of not
more than $500 and imprisonment for
not more than six months.
