NEGRO BURGLAR CAUGHT
WILLIAM MARTIN HAD RANsACKED
FRANK wooHEF's HOUSE.
Police Believe Him to BE One of q
Gang That Has Annoyed North
Side Residents.

In the arrest Of William Martin, colored.
yesterday by Bicycle Policemen Hull and
Griffin, it is thought one of the burglars
who have entered a number OF houses on
the North Side during the past week has
been caught. Martin was captured shortly
after he left house and while he yet pos
sessed much of the plumber.
At o'clock a telephone message from
Mrs. Hadley. living at 2211 College avenue.
notified Operator Charles Woerner that
she had seen a small negro going into
Frank f. Wochers home at 2221 College
avenue. Mrs Hadley said she saw the
negro go up to the front door. which was
locked. He went TO the rear, where he
broke the glass panel in the door. He then
unlocked the kitchen door and went into
the house. While the negro was gaining
entrance Mrs. Hadley was not slow to
notify the police. Griffin and Hull were
sent and arrived in time to see the negro
leaving the rear of the house with his
arms full of clothing and shoes. Martin
ran toward the alley when he saw the po-
licemen On reaching the alley he dropped
the clothes, jumped FENCES and ran through
yards for several blocks before he was cap
tured.
At the house no one was at home. 1t
was seen from the appearance of the in
the place, as the floors were strewn with
goods taken from various closets. Martin
was searched and receipt for goods sent
to Buffalo on Sept. 30 was found.
1t is the opinion of the police that Martin
Is one of the negroes who entered a num-
Der Of houses during the afternoons of the
past week. In several instances nothing
of value was taken, but goods were lit
tered over the floors by the burglars.
The police are grateful to Mrs. Hadley
for the presence of mind she showed when
she saw the negro going into the house.
After two hours questioning by Captain
Kruger, Martin, who is also known to the
police by the name OF Charles Lewis, and
as an inmate of the Plainfeld Reform
School for Boys, admitted that he has
broken into a number of houses Of the
city during the last month. He told Cap
tain Kruger of several of his burglaries,
and included in his list houses on Broad
way. one on Bellefontaine street, one on
East Eighteenth street, near Central ave-
nue.. and one on East Thirteenth street, and
others places of which he could not re-
member the location. He admitted TO the
captain that he had been very busy in
his professional capacity during the last
week two.
He informed Captain Kruger of the man.
ner in which he had disposed of the stolen
property and gave several hints as to the

! said that he had pawned and sold the stuff
| in the city, and Captain Kruger started out

LOSS AT COURTHOUSE.
1t IL Not as Great as at First Sup
posed.


The fire at the courthouse early Satur-
day morning did not do as much damage
as was first supposed. The loss to the
county will not amount to more than $500
and all of the damage done can be re-
paired at little expense. Damage to the
roof In the northwest corner of the build
ing, DETACHMENT of the walls and ceiling
or the Criminal Court jury room and the
damage to the skylights, with the Incl
dental interior loss by fire and water in
the attic is the extent of the damage as
found by the County Commissioners
yesterday.
The panes of glass in the skylights in
danger OF falling were removed and the
spaces beneath the skylights on the first
and second floors of the courthouse were
roped OF that no one might get under the
railing particles of glass as they were dis
lodged from above. The pulverized glass
floors of the courthouse and walks through
the building were ruinous to shoes.
The most serious loss was to Company
II Of the Second Regiment Indiana Ma
tional Guard This company's armory is
in the corner of the Courthouse which
was burned and the quartermaster store
center of the fire. Equipment for sixty
men was burned. including haversacks.

as was also quantity of gallery practice
material and sheeting and pastors for
targets. Captain Harry M. Franklin, of
the company, reported the loss to the
quartermaster general of the State troops
and he has formed board of survey to
meet tomorrow and fix the responsibility
for the loss and take such action as will
permit Franklin TO drop the quartermaster
and ordnance supplies from his rolls. The
fire will work one benefit to the company
in that its equipment will have to be
furnished new. The salvage corps pre-
vented a greater loss by its quick work.

NO ROOM FOR M'CASLIN

County Treasures Koehne Has De-

sfders His Rights.

George H. McCaslin, the Democratic ex-
pert who is investigating the books Of
Marion county officials in search of evil
dence of alleged improper accounting Of
the funds of the county, will not be ad-
mitted to the treasurers Office when he
applies. so Cashier Henry Smith said yes
terday. The treasurers office is now hav-
ing a busy season and strangers are not
wanted back of the counter.
The alternative writ of mandamus grant
ed by Judge feathers on Friday command
ing Treasurer Armin c. Koehne TO admit
McCaslin to the office or appear before him
on Oct. and show cause why he does
not will be answered next Wednesday by
koehne, through his attorney. The treas
urer will contend that he has a right to
keep from his Office persons who he thinks
will interfere With the work of the clerks.
and will base his defense of the mandate
Of the court on the fact that his office rule
prevents any of the employees of the office
from permitting persons not connected with
the office back of the screen.
koehne takes as a precedent the ruling
or Judge Carter in a case when an attorney,
s. NJ. Richcreek, brought a similar suit
against him. Judge Carter ruled in this
case that the treasurer was right in max
ing such rules as were necessary for him
TO properly conduct the office.

COMMON HORSES WANTED.
Medium Grades for Farm work Now
In steady Demand I'm tie Chi
caRo Market.

Recently the demand for horses at
the Chicago stockyards has improved.
Not only are the exportable horses
bringing better prices than for some
time, hut there seems TO be quite
brisk buying for farm use. We have
frequently pointed out the fact that
the conditions that have existed dur
ing the past eight years would natural
ly bring about a scarcity of farm
horses. We have made close inquiry
through our correspondents and find
that in hundreds of counties in these
western states less breeding has been
done of late years than formerly.
Meanwhile, horses are rapidly wear
ing out in farm work. The men that
had horses TO shoot six years ago, now
have not even one good farm horse TO
sell, and are even looking for horses to
buy. So, now we are told that at the
Chicago stockyards a feature of the
trade is the better demand for
chunks for farm horses"
Medium to good animals are quoted
at S55 TO 800, end select chunks at S95
TO $l20. The demand for mules for
farm work is also good, these animals
selling at SIS and large ones from $3.50
TO S170. There is an immense amount
of work on farms that can be done only
by horses; and this means n constant
demand that can be counted on by
horse raisers.-Farmers Review.

MOST people think that catarrh is a
IVA disease confined TO the head and
nose. Nothing is farther from
the truth. II may be that the nose and
throat are the oftenest affected by ca
tarrh, but il this is SO it is so only be-
cause these parts are more exposed TO
the vicissitudes of the climate than the
other parts of the body.
Every organ, every duct, every cavity
of the human body is liable to catarrh.
A multitude of ailments depend on ca
tarrh. This is true winter and summer.
