WHOLESALE THEIVING.

That Crested Butte has been in
fected by an organized gang of
burglars, who did their work in
strictly professional manner, is
the conclusion that is borne out by
developments during the investi-
kation of the case against Harry
Neesham, who is accused of being
implicated in the robbery of HI. E.
Roth's store, from which eighteen
full suits of clothing was taken,
and about forty-fve pair of Pants.
From the fact that the goods were
taken. for sometime before the
theft was discovered, the authori-
ties have been led to believe that
young Neesham, who carried key
to the house, had furnished the
burglars entrance to the building,
although there is no evidence to
that effect. other than his own in
eliminating stories. Several of
the suits were found IN the posses
sion of Austrians, who claim to
bought them from peddlers, at a
very low figure. Taking every
thing into consideration, it has
been smooth piece of work, and

by the people of Colorado would
be so detrimental to the welfare of
the state as the Republicans claim
it is, why do they not advance a
reasonable argument to that effect !?
But the only argument brought
forward by the enemies of Home
Rule and local control of the sys-
tenn of taxation, are to the effect
that such laws would place an eq-
uitable amount of taxation upon
special privileges, franchises, and
limit other means by which mo-
nopolies have oppressed the peo-
pie. There is no better criterion
by which voter can determine
whether he is voting for the inter
ests of the masses, or for the fur
ther extension of special privileges,
than by observing whether the
reforms is advocated by the large
corporations or whether they are
opposed 10y those institutions. In
the latter case 10 more evidence is
needed to convince the voter that
the reform would be beneficial to
the people at large, and he should
vote accordingly.

SELLS PEARL FOR St7.5Oo.
Poor Wisconsin Clam Fisher Gets
Fortune for n Find

Poor Wisconsin Clam Fisher Gets
Fortune for Find.
Resting in plush case in a burglar
proof vault in the Fine Arts building
is what is said to be the largest and
most perfect pearl ever found in Amer
lea, says the Chicago Tribune. 4 few
weeks ago it was a clam on the bottom
of the Mississippi river. Its present
owner, Fl. Deakin of the Deakin Art
rooms, declares that he refused to part
with the gem yesterday for $4,000.
His price is $4,000. A poor Wisconsin
clam fisher near Prairie du Chen on
May "a caught several clans. When
he returned to his home he opened
shell after shell with little or no luck.
A few minutes later his wife picked
up large shell. which he had exam
ined without finding anything. Then
the clam fisher heard a cry. His wife
had discovered the largest pearl lie
ever had seen. He sent for pearl
dealer of Prairie du Chen to come and
see what he had found. The expert
arrived and bought the pearl for $17,-
500. At first the fisher would not part
with the gem, and insisted he would
have it mounted for his wife to wear.
Finally he sold it after the dealer had
promised that it should be named
Queen Mary" in honor of the wife of
the fisher. After his first sale the
gem changed hands twice. and then
became the property OF Mr.. Deakin.
The Prairie du Chen dealer sold it
for $4,000, while its present owner
refuses to make public its cost to
him. Connoisseurs who have exam
ined the pearl since it was brought to
Chicago pronounce it the most wonder
full ever found in America. They also
say it is equaled by few in the world.
Its weight is 103 grains, while the
average pearl weighs from two to five
grains. 1t is almost perfect pear
shape, measuring over three-quarters
of an inch in length and five-eighths
of an inch in diameter. 1t is of pink
'hue and exceedingly lustrous.

HACKS WILL BE TAXED.
Judge Hazen Upholds the City Lii

Judge Hazen this morning decided
that the city ordinance imposing q license
Of SO q year on public hacks to be
good.
In making his decision he said:
"The case of the city against Robinson
comes to this court on appeal The
question is whether the ordinance is
valid. II it is valid he is guilty. The
council passed an ordinance imposing a
hack license of SO. The defendant re-
fused to pay and was arrested It is
said it is not valid, as other vehicles are
not taxed. It is claimed that singing
out hacks makes it void. I think this
contention goes far back of the validity
of the ordinance to the powers of the
legislature, as the acts of the legislature
especially gives the city the power and
authorized the imposing of the tax The
city council may impose certain taxes
and has the right to make certain class
ificatiOns not arbitrary. In this case
do not eonsidert that the court is called
upon to decide that point, as the city has
kept within the classifcations made by
the legislature. The court finds that the
ordinance is valid and therefore the de-
fendant is 2ufltv"
