peace in the packers strike has van
ished. for the time being ar least. The
end OF the negotiations came late sat
urday after a conference which had
lasted nearly all afternoon between the
officials OF the strikers and a number

The HenningSenS in Jail Again.

Sheriff Haun brought Peter Henning
sen and wife up from Kiowa last Thurs.
day to serve Jail sentence pronounced
on them by Judge A. Rice of that city.
They were convicted Of stealing a
number of small articles and hiding
them around their premises. MIR. Hen
niDgsen was sentenced to serve 60 days
in Jail and pay fine OF $25. Mrs.
Henningsen was sentenced to Jail for
six months and pay a fine OF $50. The
costs were equally divided between
them. The county attorney prosecuted
the case.
This family has been conspicuous in
the justice and probate courts during
the past SIX monthe. Last summer
Mrs. Henningsen served a jail sentence
of 30 days for petty larceny, and their
little girl was sent away TO avoid tax
ing her to the reform school. A few
weeks ago two of the small boys were
| arrested for stealing money. The
older one was sent to the reform school
and the young one was sentenced IL
Jail for thirty days. His time will ex
pire on Saturday. Now the old folks
are "up against it" good and strong
| The officers of Kiowa claim that the
family have been carrying on petit,
thieving business for more than year
Mrs. Henningsen, it seems, was the
leader, while Mr. Henningsen merely
consented to it and indirectly en-
couraged her and the children. Mr.
and Mrs. Henningsen deny the charge
very emphatically but the Kiows
officials and courts are positive of their
guilt.
They are German people. Mr.
! Henningsen is cripple, having lost

POStOffice Row at Isabel.

The firing of Henry Briggs from
the postotfice at Isabel and installing
Jacob Slrohl does not seem to set we'll
with the patrons of that Office. We are
Informed that remonstrance was sent
to Washington last week asking that
Mr.. Strobl's appointment be revoked
ard that MIR. Briggs be re-instated. It
is argued that Mr.. Briggs is an old,
deservant and needy man amply able
to take care of the business of the
Office and should be permitted to serve
during the term It IS believed by
many of the patrons of the Office that
the petition will result in keeping Mr.
Briggs in the office, but to the average
outsider it does not look that way. AS
rule petitions are not received with
much consideration at Washington and
are generally consigned to the waste
basket without even careful reading
The outcome is awaited with interest
by the parties concerned,
The cause of Mr.. Briggs removal il
still q mystery.
