Larceny From the Person

The case of the People versus John
Kennedy occupied the attention OF the
court on Thursday. Kennedy was
charged with having stolen watch
from the person of Dick Grant some
months ago. The defendant entered
plea of not guilty and Judge Dolli
son was appointed to defend him. A
jury was called which after listening
to the evidence returned verdict of
guilty as charged in the information
recommending the prisoner, how
ever, to the mercy of the court.
The district attorney had alleged
grand larceny but G. l.. Muffley testi
fed that he would not give over
$12. so for the time piece and in view
of the apparent conflict Kennedy will
probably escape heavy sentence
The court took an indefinite recess.

mittees who are paying for the full
forage capacity of the reserves
Therefore, persons who allow their
stock to drift and Craze on the forest

For this reason you will refuse to

other necessary duties
OF course, if any person intention

damages; and if you have evidence
that any person is about to commit
such trespass, you will Immediately
ask the U. S. Attorney to institute

Coming Attraction

Easily the most notable feature of
the present theatrical term has been
the extraordinary successful revival
of Ten Nights in Bar ROOM" by
John F. Stowe. Its welcome has been
wonderfully cordial one and the en-
comiums called forth have not been
duplicated in years. The predictions
circulated relative to the failure in
store for moral plays serves to H.
lustrate the fact that the responsible
ty for the anemic tone of the theatres
has lain not so much with what the
public really wants. The successful
revival seems also to prove that the
swashbuckling school, with their
routing dramas of alleged history,
popular as they have been, do not,
with the musical vulgarities that
have passed for comic operas lately,
by any means monopolize pulic favor.
Mr. Stowe has demonstrated that
there is still in the lump of theatre
goers leaven of appreciation of the
Christian play, and not altogether of
appreciation of vulgar class. In af.
fording a realization of these en-
couraging symptoms, Mr.. Stowe be-
comes our creditor. and We trust that,
as time goes on, he will feel that the
public is not ungrateful or unmindful
OF its debt. As manager he has not
only given us truly great pro-
duction, but benefited the Christian
world to great degree by reviving a
story that will assist them in their
course. The company and production
will be brought to the Glenwood
Opera house next Friday March is.

Roundup at the ROund-HOuSe

A lively row occurred about noon
Wednesday at the Rio Grande round
house and the participants were soon
after explaining to Judge Hedden how
it happened.
w. H. Pennyweight, who has
charge of the roundhouse work, had
discharged Earl Westfall who had
been for several months employed by
the company. Earl inquired the cause
of his dismissal and Pennyweight told
him he was discharged on advice re-
ceived by message from the master
mechanic. Westfall did not believe
the story Of Pennyweight whom he
branded as several kinds of liar.
He followed Pennyweight to the
Office where he continued to curse and
abuse him. Pennyweight ordered him
out of the Office and telephoned for
the marshal but before the officer ar
rived the two beligerents mixed in a
general rough and tumble and were
finally separated by Ed Kunes who
pushed Westfall out of the office and
started him home.
Pennyweight caused Westfall's ar
rest on charge of assault but the tes-
timony showed that although Westfall
was the aggressor and decidedly
abusive, Pennyweight actually
struck the FIRST blow. Judge Hedden
dismissed the defendant and taxed the
costs to the county.

Meeting of City Fathers

The town council held their regu-
lar monthly meeting last Monday
evening, probably the last meeting
but one of the present board. All
were present except Trustee Heisler
who sent word that he had company
at home.
One of the first matters taken up
after the reading of the minutes was
a request by Farmer Holmes that the
board pay his shortage on the district
fair of last fall. Henry started the
ball rolling and was followed by Amos
Ralston who had been asked to inter
cede with the board. However. when
some one asked Amos how much of
the amount the county commissioners
would pay it rather spoiled his argu
ment since the county has already
paid $500 toward the fair and he
thought that quite enough. The ar
gument was used that the farmers
making exhibits should be paid their
premium money but this argument
was shorn of its weight when list
of the creditors was read and it was
found that of over 81, 600 deficit barely
25 per cent. was due for premiums
while three fourths of the amount was
due residents of Glenwood and, with
the exception of Holmes who still has
a claim of $17s against the association
no one in Glenwood has yet been
found who wants the town to assume
this Indebtedness. The bill was
turned down and the council proceed
ed to other business.
George Edinger sent communica
ton to the board protesting against
the license fee of 800 per annum for
ticket brokers quoting less amounts as
the charge for several other places.
The trustees, however, remembered
that only few years ago Mr. Edinger
while town clerk. succeeded in having
the license raised to 800 with view
to shutting out competition and they
thought it best to continue their pro
lection toward Edinger by leaving the
license at 800 which was done.
1t was reported that bad boys had
been disturbing the worship at diff
ferent churches and the marshal was
instructed to investigate the matter
and endeavor to bring the guilty ones
to justice.
Election judges to act at the
coming registration and election were
appointed as follows: East precinct,
Olive Crook. H. Bulls ard G. M
Keck;. West precinct, Minnie voor-
hees, w. b. Clark and Otto Barton.
Treasurer Ewing made statement
as to the splendid financial condition
Of the Town and announced his inten-
tion to take up all warrants issued to
the first of the year.
Trustee Voorhees, renewed his re.
quest for street roller and on mo.
tion the street and alley committee
was authorized to purchase roller of
suitable weight.
The liquor bond of Dick Grant was
approved and clerk ordered to issue
license. The regular grist of bills
was allowed: The ordinances appor-
tioning the town funds for the coming
year was regularly passed, after which
the board adjourned.

New Yolk sun
One way Of getting up horse that has
fallen was illustrated on the last slippery
day by q Broadway motoman to the
delight of al the beholders.
ltwas the off horse OF big brewery
team that was down, and with this horse
down the outfit altogether blocked both
car tracks. The driver headed north,
had attempted to cross from the west SIDE
to the east side OF Broadway, TO continue
on up. and that of horse had gone down
while crossing between the two tracks,
falling so as lu block the up track, while
the wagon stood across the down.
Cars began to bank mp, OF course, right
away, on both sides Of the obstruction, the
first car thus held up being one ON the
down track whose motoman, without
any fuss. promptly proved himself a man
quite equal 20 the emergency
The minute he had got his brake set ana
is car brought TO a standstill he began
operating with his foot the plungcr that
runs down through the car platform TO
work the valve Of the sandbox carried
underneath. from which sand is released
upon the track when the rails are slippery

iet run out upon the track sand enough
to make nice little conical mound.
Then he reached up and took down
from the forward end Of the hood OF his
ear the number plate carried Thereto
serve now as shovel. And with tins
handy implement he scooped up without
waste the sand from the little mound ana
spread it around on the slippery pave
mont under the fallen horses hooisi so
disposed that the horse would find It with
his feet when he tried TO rise.
And the sharp rsand served thus pur-
nose admirably; the horse was on his feet
In "a minute; and then the policeman ana
the driver moved him enough to let the
cars on the up track 60 by, and minute
later the driver had the horse hooked up
mn again. and his whole outfit clear OF
both tracks, by which time the ready
witted motoman was moving along
steadily half q block down Broadway
