Had Lively Session With the Santa
Ee Agent

Hutchinson, Kan, Dec. 15.-There was
a roundup at Sylvia Saturday evening
between some men who were helping
themselves to coal from the cars on the
Santa Fee tracks and Harry iced, the
Santa Fe agent at that place.
Saturday evening about 10 o'clock
the people of the town were startled
by hearing several shots in rapid sue
cession and then some heavy wagons
rafting down the streets in double
quick time. Agent Teed had discovered
thieves at the coal cars and going out
grabbed the bits of one team. There
were two men in the wagon and they
had on a half load of coal. They set
upon Teed and beat him on the head SO
that they escaped. The other wagon
had four horses hitched to 1t, but con-
tanned only one man. He stopped long
enough to fire three pistol shots at the
agent and then started his horses on a
run. Teed was unarmed or would
have had some wounded thieves on his
hands. The trail through the town was
well strung with coal samples that were
left by the wagons.
