Filling Places of Strikers.

Chicago, July 27.-Little If any ad
vantage was gained by either side in
the stock yards strike and there seems
no hope Of any immediate settlement
of the difficulty. Realizing that they
have one of the hardest propositions to
contend with in the history of the
packing industry, the packers are leav.
ing nothing undone to gain the upper
band in the struggle with their 10000
union employees who are on strike. All
day long workmen from outside points
were rushed to Chicago and taken to
the stock yards under police protec-
ton to fill the places of the strikers.
IL was announced by the packers that
1900 new men were now installed in
the different plants at the stock yards.
With these men and with the new ar
:ivals that are expected each day the
packers expect to get their affairs in
such shape that the strikers will be
compelled to seek truce in the hos
tilities and seek peaceable settle
ment at tie dictation of the employ
eIs.
Although the receipts of live stock
we're small compared with receipts on
corresponding days under normal con.
ditions, still many cattle, hogs and
sheep were left in the pens unsold.

CITY LOSES FIGHT FOR
LEVEE PROPERTY
r. M. Lawton Awarded Lots Occupied
by Manufacturing Plant

Judge Kelly, in a decision filed yes
terday in the district court, holds that
the lease of levee property on the
West side, made by the city to Joest-
ing & Schilling, manufacturers, is in
valid for the reason that the city did
not have clear title to the property.
The court finds that r. NJ. Lawton is
the owner of the property, and that he
is entitled to immediate possession5 to-
gether with $50 damages.
The property was formerly owned
by D. D. Merrill, who in 1883 gaveathe
city a perpetual easement on the con-
dition that the city would build
street through it. The city took pos
session of the property and leased it
for manufacturing purposes at nom
inal rental, but the street was never
built =
Mr.. Merrill sold the property TO the
Security Trust company, who in turn
disposed of it to Mr.. Lawton. I4awton
was compelled to go into the courts to
secure possession of the property
The property is occupied by an extern
sive manufacturing plant, owned By
Joesting & Schilling, and it Isl proba-
BILE that settlement Of some kind
will be made between the firm and Mr..
Lawton.

FARMER is ACCUSED
Wisconsin Granger CHARGED
With Larceny of Horse

In the police court yesterday John
Thomas, alias Henry Schafer. was
charged with grand larceny by Benja-
min A. Pomeroy. Pomeroy, who keeps
livery stable, asserted that on July
young Thomas hired a saddle horse
with which to go to Como park He
was to return the same afternoon.
When the horse had been absent a
week Pomeroy recalled that Thomas
mad told him some months before that
his home was near Prescott, Wis The
ilVeryman, acting on this recollection,
telegraphed to a Wisconsin sheriff.
The sheriff sent a deputy to a farm
near Prescott, where Thomas was
found. When the deputy wanted to
buy a good saddle horse Thomas ad-
mItted that he had saddle horse. but
1t was too gOod-he couldn't think of
selling it.
The horse looked so much like the
animal described in Mr.. Pomeroy's
telegram that Thomas left the farm
with the deputy. This officer was in
formed that the young man had boast
ed to his friends that he was coming
back on the Fourth with a cracker
jack horse" He had come accordingly.
In court yesterday the young farm
er did not appear to understand his
situation. He said he intended to
bring the horse back after a while"
The case was continued until Monday
that the prisoner and his attorney
might agree upon a plea,

Mr.. Sinks Visiting Her Home

The Sinks came into the district
court again yesterday upon the appli-
cation of the defendant, George w.
Sinks, to be permitted to visit the
home of his wife. Mrs. Sinks object
ed strenuously to any such plan and
introduced a number of affidavits and
witnesses who testified that Sinks
visits to the home of his wife would
undoubtedly result in scenes of dis
order.
Mrs. Sinks herself said that her
husband had not contributed to the
support of the home and that he was
in the habit of calling her vile names
whenever he met her She would much
rather he would not visit her home at
all. Hazel Johnson, a friend of Mrs.
Sinks, said that Sinks had on one
occasion, put his feet on the piano
keys and pounded them 'for further
ORDERS"
Attorney Scannell, representing
Sinks, said his client would deny all
these allegations. and asked for and
was granted farther time in which to

yesterday surprised the politicians
when he announced the appointment

The appointment of Dickson was
scarcely expected, as several candi-
dates had been hard after the place
and his name had not been publicly
mentioned in connection with the va
cancy. 1t is understood that Dicksons
appointment was nonpolitical and
based on his knowledge of trespaSs
law. There are a number of cases
against timber trespassers pending in
the attorney generals office, and Dick
