Missouri Pacific Is Said to Be After
the Property.

Hutchinson, Jan. 12.-The fact that
the Missouri Pacific surveyors recently
stalked off a right of way line from
their track across the Rock Island to
the unused Hutchinson & Southern de-
pot caused many to believe that the
building had been purchased by that
road. This deal has been talked of since
the purchase of the Hutchinson &
Southern road by theSantaFe but so far
as kOnwn has not been consummated.
AS near as can be learned the only
difficulty IN the deal at present is the
securing the right of way across the
Rock Island. The Missouri Pacific if it
came in on Avenue c, would want to
cross the Rock Island yards and it is
understood that it could do that only
by voluntary consent of the Rock ISL
and. It is said that if a right of way
can be secured at low figure the Mis-
souri, Pacific will purchase the Hutch
insOn & Southern terminals, but re-
garding the securing of the right of
way there is considerable doubt.

sTATE TAKEs a HAND.
Courts Will Again Pass on Change of
Method of Charging For Live Stock.

Lincoln, Neb.. Jan. 12.-On behalf of
the state, Attorney General Smith filed
a suit in the district court of Douglas
county, praying judgment against the
Union Pacific Railroad company for
$4,000. The ground for this claim IS
found in the alleged violation by the
company of an order issued by the state
board Of transportation, commanding
all railroad companies in the state to
charge car load rates for shipment of
live stock rather than to charge by the
100 pounds.
The specific instance cites wherein the
defendant company ignored the order
of the board by shipping $4,000 pounds
Omaha. A IS, 900 fine is the penalty pro-
vided by the board. and if collected
similar suits will be commenced against
other roads.

A NOTORIOUS PICKPocKET.

James Clegg Arrested at the Depot
 Saturday Evening.
 A notorious pickpocket who Is known to the police as James Clegg, or George Rackeley, the latter being one of a long string of aliases under which the man travels, was nabbed at the depot Saturday evening just at 6 o'clock by Detectives Daly and McGrath. The de- tectives noticed a man Jumping on and off each train as it arrived, remaining until the warning bell of the engine rang before alighting. When fully con- vinced that it would be for the welfare of the public to have the train jumper spend at least few hours in their company, he was taken to police head quarters. Search brought forth $S2 in brand new unsettled bills, which in the opinion of the police were relieved from the custody of some passengers aboard the trains. As the state of Connecticut does not provide a statute which makes it possible to hold a man with picking pockets, a charge of idle ness was preferred against Clegg. He will be- held on suspicion until his rec ord of the past few months can be learned

Six errors were made by the team as against seven by Wesleyan. Three of these were made by Quimby on third base, who went utterly to pieces in a most unexpected manner, and was re- placed by Brown. But 1t was not the errors which are accountable for Yale's poor showing. It was her box work. McKelvey, Westcott and Garvan were tried and each one proved easy for the visitors. McKelvey made good show ing In opening the game and Yale had a lead of several runs for the first few innings, but he later gave way and was replaced by Westcott.
