There appears to be a pretty hard
formation around Duncan, and these
who have studied the proposition are
hot certain which is the worst for the
country, the borse thieves or the
officers. Recently a warrant was is
sued for the arrest Of Jim Chancellor
for stealing a horse aud a couple Of
men were deputlzed uu 40 nut and ar
rest him. They started down the
river, expecting to Hnd Chancellor.
In was night aud they ran into a
cloud Of dust. When 1t settled 50
they could see they found a mar on
each side OF them, with a gun. Que
OF the men was riding the stolen
horse, The uficers said good evening
and passed on. The officers made a
detour, int nding TO strike the road
ahead OF the men hut failed to do so
and did not get them. The next uay
one OF the officers was out hunting
signs and ran across a man riding the
stolen horse. lie came into town,
got cut a warrant and a posse and
started after the man. He reached
him just after be had turned tie
horse iuto the VIC pasture. On bel &
arrested he said his name was Brown
and that Chancellor had sent him
down with the horse, but as be could
not remember anything long enough
to tell II twice alike Justice Waters
bound him over to await the action OF
the grand jury. Then a posse went
cut after Chancellor. They struck
his trail and found he was riding a
tired hOrse, hut they could not catch
up with him. They followed him tn
Williams ranch, then to TaylOr's
ranch near STEMS Pass. He had been
tnere but had gone away. They went
to STEMS Pass, where be was not, and
then home To Duncan. Last week a
crowd OF about twenty went down TO
Tube Lacey's place to call on him and
found him not at home. They intend
ed to give him thirty days " leave the

RAILWAY PLANS ALTERED.
The Commissioners Change the Cap
itnl Trpctfon's Route.

The Commissioners yesterday morning
advised the Senate Committee on the Dis
trict OF Columbia that they favored the
proposed extensions of the Capitol Irac-
ton Company's underground electric road
with certain alterations to the bill which
is now before Congress providing for these
| extensions
The amendments the Commissioners dc
sire TO offer to relate to the routes which
are to be covered by the extensions. The
first alteration in the plans will be made
on the Fourteenth Street division of the
road at the eastern terminus. At present
the cars are switched from one track TO
another on Street northwest between
New Jersey Avenue and First Street
1t was proposed by the company that a
loop be formed bounding the square be
tween and c and First Streets and New
Jersey Avenue. Owing 10 the proposition
now before Congress to locate the Balti-
more and Ohio passenger station on this
and adjacent property, it is deemed ad-
visable 10 extend the railroad through c
Street 10 First Street northeast. where 4
loop will be formed bounding the square
between b and C and First Streets and
Delaware Avenue returning on the tracks
now used on Street.
This will prevent the tearing up of the
streets for the construction of extensions
as over half the trackage that will be
used is now laid.
The second and third extensions pro-
vided by the company include the laying
Of double tracks on Seventeenth, and
Twenty-sixth Streets. They propose to
carry branch oftheir present line south
from Pennsylvania sAvenue along Seven
teenth Street TO G Street and west along
G Street to Twenty-siXth Street, thence
north 10 Pennsylvania Avenue. In addi-
ton to this the company proposes to con-
struct a single track branch south on
Twenty-siyth Street TO + Street, thence
by single track to Seventeenth Street.
thence north to G Street. where Il juno
ton will be formed with the other tracks.
The Commissioners state that they do
not think 1t advisable to authorize the
construction of a double track line on
Tventy-siNth street. owing to the naI-
rowness Of that thoroughfare. and IL Is
proposed therefore to run a single track
on this street and another on Twenty
fifth or Twenty seventh streets.
The extension OF a street railway line
into this section of the city will be
great benefit to the public the report
states. and they would suggest that the
matter be attended TO at once.
A substitute bill has been prepared by
the District authorities for the measure
which was sent to them for report. and
which they request will be reported in
stead of the former measure.

Suburbanites Meet and Discuss Mat
tiers of Interest.
well attended meeting of the Congress
Heights Citizens Association was held at
the Grove sehoolhouse on Congress
| Heights last night. during the course of
which several matters OF Importance to
! the residents of the suburb were discussed
and several reports from the various COM
mittees were heard.
President Frazier occupied the chair.
and after the reading Of the minutes OF
the last meeting by Secretary Emmons the
reports of the committees were caliad for.
Chairman Hartley, of the Committee on
Railroads, made the first report. Only
one car is run from the terminus of the
city railroad to the Heights. and some
times wait OF twenty minutes is neces-
sary before this car passes The resi-
dents of the vicinity have sought to in
terest the authorities of the Insane Asy-
lum in the matter, with a view of secur-
ing their cooperation in. getting better
service
Mr.. Hartley reported that he had visited
the railroad Offices and had been informed
that the rumber OF cars would be in
creased when the company could secure
the necessary material for the construc-
would be necessary.
A resolution was introduced by Gustav
Bender expressing the profound sorrow OF
the association to hear of the death of DR..
Abram Wilmer. late Assistant Superin-
tendent OF the Insane Asylum. Mr. Bender
stated that DR.. Wilmer was beloved by all
who knew him and was known to have
been kind and gentle toward the patients
In the asylum Copies Of the resolutions
were ordered to be sent to the family of
the deceased and the daily newspapers.
The committee appointed TO call on the
Commissioners with regard to the lease
of the association on the old schoolbuild-
ing reported that Commissioner Ross now
has the matter under advisement and will
report as soon as possible. 1t appears
that the terms of the lease are not eN-
plicit and the members of the association
desire to have them plainly stated in or
der that they may 90 ahead with their
plans for night school.
A letter was also read from Frederick
Pabst, of Milwaukee, in which he stated
that he was not prepared to furnish the
members Of the association with state
ment OF his plans for the construction of
a large hotel on the Heights.
After the discussion OF minor business
the meeting was adjourned.
