HELD FOR ROBBERY.
4 New York Cabman Arrested
on Complaint of Woman.

New York, Feb. "a cabman known
as Moffatt has been held for trial on
a charge of robbery made by Miss
Clayborn Sheldon of Buffalo, who told
Magistrate Barlow, a remarkable story
of her arrival here as a stranger and
her attempt to reach a reputable hotel
on 81 oadway through the medium of a
cab. Miss Sheldon came from Buffalo
January Is, she said, to secure a posi-
ton, having a reputation a vocalist.
She had been directed to an uptown
hotel but the cabman drove her for
miles about town.
1T seemed to me-" said she, ''as if I
had made the circuit of the city sew
eral times. Every time I spoke to the
cabman he said that we were getting
near the hotel
Finally she determined to get out
when the cabman seized and forced her
into the seat, demanding 800.
Il screamed" says Miss Sheldon,
land he seized me by the throat. I
kept on fighting as well as [ could.
Then he threw a handkerchief over my
face 1 think it was saturated with
choloform. 1t made me sick. [ ceased
to struggle and do not recall anything
until sometime afterward 1 found my
self lying in a gutter
She had been robbed of her money
and jeWelry.

OPEN FIGHT ON HUGHES.
South End of Sixth Ward Interested
in Sewer.

There may be q fight made on the
nomination of Colonel J. w. F. Hughes
as councilman from the Sixth ward.
People living in the south end of the
ward say that they will put forward
a man who is fully in sympathy with
the proposed new SIKH ward sewer
project. They are suspicious of Colonel
Hughes on this point. He lives in Pot
win and everybody in Potwin is be-
lieved to be hostile to the sewer.
When asked today how he would line
up on the sewer question, Colonel
Hughes said: L am in favor of the
sewer. I believe that people always
should have public improvements. 1
don't know that Potwin is opposed to
the sewer project, but for my part 1 am
In favor of it,
Colonel Hughes said he had just re-
turned from Florida, and did not know
that there was any talk of bringing out
a candidate in opposition to him.
The LOwman Hill end of the ward
wants the sewer built because it has no
sewer system whatever. POtwin is OPP
posed to it, because it has a sewer sys-
tenn now, which answers temporary
needs.

FARMERS PACKING HOUSES
They Are Continuing to Spring Up
Around Topeka.

Lukens Bros, the wealthy North To-
peka business men, have started in, on
mess at ShOrey. A building IS by 20
feet has been erected, and a big bunch
of hogs which have been fattened by
the firm, will be butchered for market.
After this, the business of butchering
cattle will be taken up, and will pro-
ba bly, continue until warm weather.
For a number of years, Lukens Bros.
have had a large feed yard near Shorey
on the banks of Soldier creek where
they have fattened cattle and hogs for
market. They have always been in the
market for cattle and hogs, and their
new move is an experiment to deter
mine whether or not they can profit
ably slaughter and sell their own stock.
They have employed an experienced
man to take charge of the work
Food Inspector Farnsworth said to-
day: I'm addition to the new enterprise
of LukenS Bros, I know of several 9TH
er cattle men and farmers living near
Topeka who are planning to make a
similar experiment. They believe that
they can get an advantage over the
meat trust if they can slaughter their
own stock, and take advantage of the
high prices which the trust makes. The
little Independent slaughter house
which was started a few weeks ago
down south of town on Shunganunga
creek is killing a few hogs every week,
but so far has not done much start
ed out to inspect this place the other
day. but met the proprietor coming to
town, so did not go there.
These little independent concerns
which are starting up around will al
have to shut down when warm wealth
er comes, unless they get a move on
themselves, and prepare to keep their
meat cool by artificial cooling. 1t VIII
cost them considera BILE money to adapt
their plants to this more expensive sys-
TEN, and I expect they will go out of
business for the summer
