 charge Pickett and Kennedy broke into Thatchers boathouse in the annex
 few weeks ago and stole sharpie,

 tective Sergeant Dennehy has unearth-
 ed another case against the accused. A boat valued at $500 belonging to Dan
 iel Donegan, of 93 Whalley avenue, was

HOSPITAL EXCURSION.


 All the Inmates Who Were Able Enjoy ed Fine Sail on the Sound Yester- day The kind wasrani who annually fpr- nishes an outing for the inmates of the New Haven hospital again showed her charitable spirit yesterday when she chartered barge and took all the pa tiants of the institution who were able to go out on most enjoyable sail on the sound. Some of the inmates of the hospital had to be carried from the building to hacks, and others who had not been out for year took the sail, as the day was perfect for such trip and it probably did more good than week s stay indoors. Rolling chairs were plac- ed on the boat for those who were very feeble and everything was made as comfortable as possible for the suffer- CTS.
 Including nurses and friends there were 13O on the barge. The sail started from the Steamboat dock at 2:30, and they were out on the water for about four hours. Music was on board and refreshments were served during the afternoon. The barge was lowed around by one of the New Haven tug boats.

THEY WANTED THAT HORSE.

A story of the peculiar conduct of two very mysterious refugees from jus tice comes from Colonia Juarez. below
 Casas Graidies. J. A. Smith returned
 from there Saturday night, where he
 has been on an outing with his family, and gave the story about as follows:
 A few days ago two rough looking men came to the colony and camped for the night near sorne houses. They farose early the next morning, and one of them went into the pasture of MT. Me- Clellan, prominent Mormon, and was trying to lasso a horse that was graz ing near the house. Charles McClel- Ian, a son of the owner, went out to him ard asked what he was after I want that horse" he said, and am going to have him. I will buy it If you will sell it, but if you won't will take it any way" Mcclellan told him that the horse belonged to him and he did not want to sell 1t, and started to approach the man. The stranger, a rough look ing customer about forty years old, drew his revolver around in front where he could get it handy, and re- peated that he was going to have the horse, and there was no way out os 1t. T want him and will have hi mnow," he said, land you had as well go away" Mcclellan put price on the horse and told the man to catch him. The stranger made another attempt, but the horse kept out of his way. "You can't catch him, so get at it,' said the stranger, in a tone that meant bus mess. Mcclellan was unarmed, and saw that to resist was useless. so he caught the horse and turned him over to the stranger. "I will go and see my partner and get the money and return and pay you," the gringo said, and disappeared. The boy waited for while. and the man did not reappear, so he went to the colony headquarters and report ed the matter to Manager lvans. In the meantime other parties had or ganized posse and were about to start in pursuit of the two men, but Manager Ivans insisted that they let them go. He explained that the men were despe- rate characters and to follow them would mean fight and probably much bloodshed so the expedition was aban- doned. MT. Ivans thinks they were tough criminals from the United States" said MT. Smith, "and would have done anything to keep clear of the officers. They were headed for the mountains, and evidently took the horse because they needed fresh one, and not merely for the sake of steal ing" El Paso officers think that the fugitives were Bill Taylor and his pals, who recently broke jail-El Paso Her aid.
