Chicken Thieves Actively at

Their COOps Nightly.
NE FARMER LOST so.

Fort Scott, Kan. May THE most
daring chicken thieves who ever ope-
rated in Bourbon county are now at
work nightly victimizing the farmers
just west of the city. The robbers are
doing a wholesale business, and, not be-
ing satisfied with stealing number OF
chickens from each coop, thoroughly de-
nude the hen houses of all winged life
H H Lyons, the well known farmer
who resides scarcely outside Of the city
limits in the west came to town this
morning and reported that Saturday
night his chicken coop was broken into
and all his fowls carried off. They con-
sisted of sixty bloOded birds valued at
81 to s1-50 each. The lock on his coop
had either been picked or opened with
a skeleton key and there was no trace
of the robbers left.
Mr.. Lyons is hardly more unfortunate,
however, than the bulk Of his neigh
bors, although his chickens were prob
ably more valuable.
Old Man Whitmore, residing by the
sugar works, lost all his chickens some
time Thursday night. In this case, also,
there is no clue left. Many chickens be-
longing to Jess Lyons, son of H H
Lyons were taken from his coops early
in the week. They didn't leave him
even so much as feather. NO clue
here. either.

tunates, left a trace which may lead to
their identity. and If so, arrests viii fol-
low. Mr.. Gardner believes he has lo-
Gated a number of his chickens and he
will more thoroughly investigate the
matter.
All the farmers Of that vicinity will
combine together to catch, arrest ana
prosecute the guilty parties; The rob-
berries occur nightly and the farmers
expect to find their chickens missing
every morning. Some of them are stay
ing up nights, standing guard with

An examination shows that Alan-a-

win his race. His legs have been in bad
shape all season. especially the left

horse in running put much OF the
weight of his stride on the sound leg
AS a result, it gave way under the
strain.
The gameness Of his victory has been
increased in the eyes Of every Ken
tuckian since learning of the handicap
under which he finished but that does
not serve to restore Alan-a-Dale or to
comfort Owner Mcdowell.
Abe Franks performance and his re-

minute of the race make him, in the
opinion of turf men here, an outsider in
the American Derby It is common talk
for the distance, and that his chance
for winning a race over a mile in dis
tance is not worth a bet outside Of the

civil war, and the other for brave con-
duct in a campaign against the Indians.

teenth Michigan infantry. at the battle
of Peach Tree creek, Georgia, he. led his
company in a countercharge and en-
tered the enemy's line, capturing alone

A second medal was issued him for
an affair on Mcclellan creek, Texas,
November g. 1874, where he rescued two
white girls by an attack upon a band
of Indians whose superior number and
strong position would have warranted
delay for reinforcement, but which de-
lay would have permitted the Indians
TO escape and kill their captives

seventh infantry and a close friend of
General Miles. Colonel Baldwin was
acting Indian agent for the Sac and
Foxes before the Spanish-American
war. Political influence was brought
to bear to remove him, but his good

been offered the first chance to fight
Young Corbett, as the local promoters
have become wearied of the manner in
which Sullivan has tried to keep the
fight on his list without actually sign
ing the papers therefor. A telegram
was sent to Joe Macias asking if Broad
could arrange his dates to meet Cor
bett on May %, as Broad is always in
condition and never passes up any
chance to fight. The promoters believe
he will surely agree to the match, and
last visit here was when he came to
fight Jack McClelland, the battle that
