SUNDAY DoINGs.

Last Saturday evening our genial
station agent received a telegram
from Train Dispatcher Payne of Ellis
to notify the sheriff and marshal to be
on the lookout for three tramps who
stole two suits of tailor-made clothes,
pair of pants, underwear, shirts and
jewelry. A reward of S25 was offered
for the capture of the thieves. The
agent notified the sheriff and marshal
and they went to the depot early
Sunday morning and circulated among
the steel gang. They soon learned
that the trio had sold the stolen arti-
Gle at bargain. One of the thieves
took tumble aud started to run
toward Big creek. The shift COM
manded him to halt by a shot from
his gun, but the fellow didn't stop
running. A second shot was fired
but the fellow still ran on. Clyde
Poffenberger happened to be there on
his bicycle, and the sheriff handed
him his gun and told him to go and
arrest the fellow. Clyde obeyed and
it wasn't long until lie captured his
man and turned him over to the sher-
iff. The second fellow was arrested
while pretending to be cooking his
breakfast In the excitement the
third fellow made his escape perhaps
on foot or by rail as the east bound
train pulled in while the arrests were
being made. The two suspects were
placed in Jail. The sheriff and mar
shall secured the hills and hollows
north of town to capture the fellow
that got away but their efforts were
futile. Mr.. Paine drove up from FL
lis. Identified the stolen goods, paid
the reward, and returned home At
ter the excitement had died away one
of white men working on the steel gang
tanked up too freely. went into
private house south of the track and
made a fool of himself. The marshal
took charge of him the balance of the
day, and Judge Croft fined him an Y.
Sunday evening Sheriff Lorditsch ar
rived from Hays, took his prisoners
and witnesses TO Ellis and at 1890
Monday morning the thieves were ar
raigned before the oar of a justice.
The were fined SO and costs and were
sent to Jail for 60 days.

That is what it is lkoIy
to como to if tho usos Of the
corn stalks koep on de

neck betweon tho stalks and tho oar
as to which is the moro valuable. so
tho wise farmer is making good
money selling his corn stalks instead
Of burning them.
Tho uses for corn stalks are very
many. The agricultural department
has made public a bulletin showing
that they may be used for these
among other purposes:
Apacking for warshipa; a high
grade Of writing papor; tho basis of
Il smokoless powder; and cattle food
made by grinding it to powder and
mixing it with cheap moIassos.
The new food is pressed into cukos
under hydraulic press and can be
shipped as easily ~ bricks or cord
wood. For feeding it is broken up
and mixed with water Actual tests
have been made and samples have
been sent to agricultural stations in
Europe. Reports from all sources arc |
very encouraging. This food will be

nor, and when seizures are made It
Is presumed that they are made by
the Governor through his agents.
Should the Governor be satisfied, in
a given case, that the seizure was IN.
warranted and improper uGder the
law, 1t IS my opinion that he is en-
powered to have the seizure yacated
and tho goods returned to the lawful
owner.
In order to make this point plain,
l would say that it occurs to me that
the position Of the Governor with re-
latlon TO the constabIes and their
seizure is analogous to that which the
high sheriff, the chief executive
officer of Il county, sustains to his
special deputies in cases of levy di.
rected by him. Should the special
deputy, by mistake or for any other
reason, seize property unquostionably
not liable to the levy for any cause,
the sheriff should, under the view
that it is his act, though done
through d subordinate, elect to re-
lease the levy aud return the prop
erty. In other words, if the seizure
made, bo such that the sheriff would
not personally have mnde, he has
right to decline to confirm the action
of the deputy.
