HORSE THIEVES AGAIN
Three Horses and a Rig Re-
ported Stolen Last Night.
SPRING CAMPAIGN BEGINS
After Rest of Several Months
mo Clues.

The horsethieves have opened theil
spring campaign. Last night three horses
mysteriously disappeared. The losses
were promptly reported to the police sta
ton The officers think that at least
two Of the horses were stolen, while In
the third case the horse might have got
united.
B. F. Woodford's horse disappeared
from in front of Cubbon's store on North
Lawrence avenue. The police think that
it is likely this horse might have got
away as he was hitched with a new rope
and the knot was not secure.
About 9 o'clock two boys came into the
police station and told the clerk that
their horse, which was tied on North
Main street, was gone. They said that
he was securely tied and did not think
he could have got himself loose They
were evidently country boys, and went
away without giving their names. And
they did not gfvea good description of
the horse or tell just where he was
hitched.
They had hardly got out of the door
before a man named H. L. Cadwallader
came in and said that somebody had
taken his rig. He said that the horse
was tied in the alley back of Butler
tin shop. He was positive that the ami
NAL was tied in such a way that it would
have been impossible for it to get loose,
and was certain that some one had stolen
it. The horse did not belong to him but
was owned by Judge Atwood, who lives
about three miles south of town on Sen
eca. The horse was gray, eight years old.
and was hitched to a cart. Mr.. Cadwal-
lader was absolutely certain that the
Horse could not have got loose by itself
and somebody must have taken the rig.
It will be remembered that last sum-
mer horse stealing was going on almost
every night Everybody was of the opin-
ion that it was the work Of an organized
gang. The officers were at a loss to To-
cate the thieves. It was supposed that
all the horses stolen were taken to some
distant pasture in an unsettled district
and were kept there until the first excite
ment had died down. During last sum-
mer all kinds Of rumors were rife about
an unknown man coming into some COM
munity and renting a pasture for about
three months and paying the cash in ad-
vance A large number of horses would
be turned into the pasture and kept there
for some time and sold. Although these
rumors were very prevalent, no pasture
of this kind was ever discovered by the
officers in this part Of the state, and the
officers are as much in the dark as ever.

IOWA COLONY BUYING LAND
Frank Wienschenk Praises Richness
of kingman County.

Mr.. NJ. Weinschenk of Jackson county,
Iowa, was in the city last night He is
an uncle of Tony Weinschenk and of
Frank Weinschenk, the big Kingman
county stockman. He is now on his way
back to Iowa to make arrangements to
move to Kingman county, where he has
bought large ranch near his nephew.
Frank Weinschenk was seen by a re-
porter for the Eagle last night and said:
my uncle came out to see me some time
ago and fell in love with Kingman coun-
ty. He thinks it is away ahead of Iowa
and made UP his mind to move out. He
bought great deal Of land in the south
western part of the county and is going
to start in the cattle business.
When he went back after his first
visit, he was so much pleased with the
country. and praised it so highly to his
friends that large party of them came
out to look at this wonderful country and
many of them have since decided to
move here. Without an exception all of
them are wealthy men and will buy good
sized ranches. In fact some of them said
that they were going to have an Iowa
colony in the southwestern part of King
county.
81 am very glad to see them come for
I believe that they will do well. Consid-
ering quality, it is my opinion that King
man county land is the cheapest in the
state. 1t is one Of the best watered sec
tons that I know of and, if farming and
stock raising are combined, there is no
good reason for failure
1--WE people out there are very friendly
to this city. We regard it as our market
and our buying place. Almost all the
goods that are sold in the county are
bought here And any increase in our
population and our wealth will bring that
much more business to this city"

Has Found
His Sisters.
Carl 1eyers Locates his Long Lost Relatiy
in Iowa and Goes to Meet Them. # II

. Carl Meyer, tile young man who has
been in this city for the past two weeks
engaged in a search for his two sisters
from whom he has been separated since
they we're small children, left Monday
morning for Albin, Iowa, where he haa
at last learned that they are living. His
stor5 partakes strongly Of the nature Of
romance. Meyers, who IS now II
years of age, was born in the vicinity of
this city but when very young his par
ents separated, his mother assuming her
maiden name and going to Lyon, Neb.,
where she maraiel John Meyers, whose
name Carl has since borne. The two
sisters, at the time Of the breaking up
of the home here, were adopted by some
one and Immediately taken away from
this locality. Recently the mother died
but without having communicated to
Gail the name of his real father, and
his visit here was not only to find trace
of his lost sisters but to find out, if pos
sible, the name, of his father. In the
latter part of his quest he was unsuc-
cessful, but did fortunately discover the
probable whereabouts of his sisters, and,
as before stated, left Monday morning
to ioin them IN their Iowa home. 49,

SLEEPY BYE NOTES.

SLEEPY EYENOTES. %z#a
From the Dispatch. - - :, j.: .s.:sss.
]. Yesterday afternoon there came
just as near being q tragedy on the rail-
way crossing on Fifth street in this town
as there ever will be and there be no
tragedy. The passenger train due here
at 8 :05 was coming in at a pretty last
clip when a farmer driving spirited
team of colts came rattling up the street
intending to cross the track. 1t took
several men to stop the team and hold
them until the train had passed and
there wasn'ta second to spare, either.
Some one of these days and then we will
all wonder why watchman was not de-
manded there years ago.
The secretary of the Evan Cooper
at;ye Creamery hands US the annual re-
port of his company for the year just
closed and we believe that our readers
will be interested in reading it. The to-
tai number of pounds of milk received
during the year was 2,840,531 from
which was made 1854 pounds of but
ter which was sold for 23,199.22. The
average test was 1896 and the cost of
making the butter was ON the average of
.$1.93 cents per 800 pounds. The asso-
ciation paid out for milk 81 19 9,8O9.71 and
put $841 into the sinking fund. They
paid their butter maker 1885 and their
secretary 800. The cost of fuel was
$352.30 and of butter tubs $41S.Oe, ice
$64.75 and other items Of expense to the
amount of little over $500. The show
ing is good one and the association is
proud of it. .
