chase Of the old Journal block on South
Main street, now occupied by Gallant,
the manufacturing jeweler, and by ]. C.
Rutan. It is substantial two-story
brick and presents a good front on Main
street. For several months the lodge has
been looking around for a permanent
home and at one time secured lots next
to the new brick building on South Mar
ket being put up by Cone & Cornell for
a laundry. Mr.. Cone, who had notified
the lodge that the lots could be bought,
Workmen got it and paid the lodge a
handsome advance to secure it.
1t had been the intention Of the Work
men TO build in connection with the laun-
dry building but considered that with
the advance Mr.. Cone offered they could
do well TO look further. In casting about
they determined upon the purchase of
the Journal block, and completed the
sale yesterday. This lodge being one of
the city, will proceed at once to fix up
their new home in every way. 1t win be
remodeled inside and refitted in every
way especially for lodge meetings, and

RObber Killed Wednesday Was q
Horsethief, Also.

1t appears that the robber who was
killed at Caldwell Wednesday, mention of
which was made in yesterdays Eagle,
stole a horse after holding up the agent
at Anthony. The following item is from
the Anthony Bulletin:
Early yesterday morning Sheriff Holli-
day was notified that horse had been
stolen during the night from a farmer
named Brown, six miles southeast of the
city, and this furnished a clue to work
on, which resulted in running down the
robber BY aid of the telephone wires
it was learned that he passed through
Bluff City on horseback at a rapid pace
Just before daylight, and the sheriff i'm
mediately notified the Caldwell authorit-
les to look out for him as he was I'M
doubtedly going that direction. Engineer
Jim Wallace, of the Southwestern pas
senger train, which leaves here in the
morning, saw man walking on the track
just west of Caldwell and as the train
neared him he endeavored to get out of
sight without being recognized, and ran
to get under cover of a long trestIe
bridge. When reaching Caldwell Wallace
notified the waiting city marshal where
he would likely find his man.
oscar Bayne went over to Caldwell on
the noon train yesterday, secured his
watch and the company's money, but he
was detained there until today by THE
coroner's jury.
Mr.. Browns horse was found four
miles east Of Bluff City, where 1t had
evidently been worn out and abandoned

GOOD DETECTIVE WORK
Harry Sutton Picks Up a Light Fin
Eered Gang.

The efficiency of Harry Sutton and
Bedford Wood as expert detectives has
had standing recognition for years in
south Kansas and in Oklahoma, during
all Of which time Wichita has been their
home headquarters, even when for
seasons they have been separately or to-
gether in the employ of the railroads or
express companies in intricate cases. No
Pinkerton man is better posted on the
gentry or more successful in rounding
them up. When Bryan got off the Texas
train the other morning he warned the
crowd which had gone to welcome him
that he was being followed in his rounds
by the ''light-hngered," suggesting that
everybody look out for his pocketbook.
In the Jam which occurred at the Audi
torium doors in the evening, diamond
stud Of extra quality was picked from
the shirt front of Colonel Murdoch Al
though he discovered his loss Immediately
and, with Chief Cubbon standing within
four feet Of him, he said nothing Of the
loss until after his arrival home. when
police headquarters was notified. Sutton
and Cairns, both having spotted the
gang Of workers." warned them that
they would be pulled and held indefinitely
in the event of any complaint of loss by
anyone. and without further evidence.
Declaring their innocence of any such in
tentlon, they were, nevertheless, closely
watched until their departure. Chief Cub
bon and Sutton next morning were both
vexed that Colonel Murdoch had not i'm
mediaitely made known his loss How
ever, without saying anything further
Cubbon authorized Sutton to take the
Bryan train and stay with it until he
could find the gang and had made and
effort to regain the stone. Sutton some

come after Colonel Murdock's stone. and
that he was going to take it back to him
from the next station or take one Of them
back and throw him into the Wichita
bastile, there to await further search and
developments. For answer. they protest
ed their innocence, but Sutton rejoined
with:
