NO ONE CLAIMS THE PROPERTY
Considerable Mystery Surrounds the
Affair at Waterloo-Officers
.. Are Mysttfed.

Waterloo, July IA second chapter
has been added to the doings of a
mysterious horseman who has been
peTating In this vicinity. Some months
ago. a horse buyer, who was supposed
10 hail from Independence, came to
this city and left two horses for which
ne never returned or called. The horses
we're taken to pay for the pasture.
Mrs. Barard on Logan avenue has
called and received writ of attach
ment on a number Of buggfes and car
r1ages stored in her barn. The pro-
perty was left about the same time
that the mysterious horses were left
in the other pastures. The rent was
paid on the barn for several weeks and
then the tenant suddenly dropped out
of sight. No one has ever claimed
either the horses or vehicles, and the
officers are at loss to understand the
strange method of procedure.

GIVES UP STRUGGLE.
Little Agnes Leeney Dies After Long
and Patient Suffering.

Death came Saturday evening, July
4, 1903, to relieve pretty little Agnes
Leeney, aged years and months,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Pat Leeney.
The little sufferer died at nine o'clock
D. m, at the home of her parents, No.
612 A avenue west. The funeral was
held this afternoon, Monday, July 6,
1903, at the late residence, at 2:30
o'clock, and interment was made in
the Catholic cemetery.
The very unusual and pitiable case
of the little girl has been noted in
these columns number of times. She
was afflicted with osteo sarcoma and
has been sick about one year. Moth
ing could be done for the little patient
and she awaited her delivery from the
racking and tormenting pain with a
fortitude most touching The suffer
ing and the pitiable condition of the
little girl cannot be told. The parents
did everything, possible for the child,
but death was the only surcease for
the untold agonies and the anguish of
the pain-racked little body. The SYM
pathies of the entire community have
gone out to the child and it's parents
in their trials of the past several
months. The sincerest of feelings are
expressed for the parents in their be-
reavement by all who have known OF
the case.
