Ute band now supposed to be en-
camped on Powder river in Wyoming,
rode into Sturgis during the night and,

Meade from the town, the time the
main body of the Sixth cavalry left
the fort az the number of men left
there, disappeared. The small body
of troopers at the fort were held In
readiness for a call to action through
the night and the people of the town
slept on their arms in the belief that a
descent on the place for the confisca-
ton OF supplies was contemplated by
the Utes. Considerable excitement
still prevails.

FEROClOUs FRIENDSHIP.
An Incident In the Life OF the Trn-
l:eLiau Mucreudy.


Between Macready ana my brother
Charles existed Il kind of ferocious
friendship Macready. whatever he
may have been in private life, had al
the theater Il simply horrible temper
and he was in the habit of using al
rehearsalS and even in All undertone
when acting the most abusive lan-
guage- language which my brother
sometimes passed by With Il smile, but
which he occasionally hotly resented.
He did not mind Macready constantly
addressing him as beast" but he Oh:
jected to having his eyes, his limbs
and his Internal organs coupled With
inVectiVe terms. Yet. oddly enough,
the grea, tragedian. With whom he
was constantly uuarreing. had a grim
respect and liking for him. He knew
him to be u gentleman and II scholar
and one who was Il competent Judge
OF picturesque effect and an acute dra-
matte critic On one occasion Ma
cready having to play "Oihello." 'anti
my brother not being included in the
cast, the tragedian thus addressed him:
Beast | want you to go in front to-
night and give me afterward Il full'and
candid opinion as to the merits of my
acting Omit nothing. Tell me how |
played and how looked. l have IN
idea that | shall surpass myself this
evening" Now. the great actor used
to go through tremendous amount Of
realistic effort in the part of Othelo
| and toward the close Of the tragedy
would get into such a disorganized
physical condition that he was all per
SEPARATION and foaming at the mouth
| and presented somewhat shocking
spectacle.
My brother duly occupied seat in
| the front row Of the dress circle and
| narrowly watched the performance
from beginning to end. Then he went
behind the scenes and repaired /. TO
| Macready's dressing room. The artist
was being disrobed by his dresser and

| "Wefl beast, what was 1t like" =
My brother told him that he had de-
rived the highest. qualification from
the performance and he had never seen
him play Otheilo more superhly. He
was magnificent in his speech to the
Venetian senate, the jealousy scenes
with Iago We're splendid, the murder
Of Desdemona was superb, and lie died
inimitably. Macready's face lighted up
more and more as my brother answer
ed his many queries. ..,
ra" 'ss,2is well, beast" he observed at
last. "'Tis well--very well, and, now,
what was my appearance-how did |

FOUGHT HORSE THIEVES
Samuel Nelson Is Seriously injured in
Battle at Hoyt.

An engagement with two horse thieves
which took place on the farm of Newton
Willard, three miles southeast Of Hoyt
Kansas, early this morning nearly
proved disastrous to Samuel Nelson.
Nelson is a hired man on Winard's
farm. Early this morning Nelson was
awakened by a loud noise in the barn.
Suspecting that things were not going
exactly right he got up, dressed himself
and taking a revolver repaired to the
barn Here he found two horse thieves
who were about to make their get away.
They had one horse Saddled and were
putting a harness on another wnen they
were apprehended by Nelson. Immed-
lately upon seeing Nelson they opened
fire on him. Nelson returned the fire
and shots were exchanged pretty lively
until Nelson's pistol had been emptied.
He had no other ammunition than was
in his pistol and after all his charges
were exhausted he was forced to fight
single handed. The thieves were not
long in finding Jnat Nelson's ammuni-
ton was gone and were quick to take
advantage of the situation. One thief
jumped on the unfortunate man and cut
him with a large knife, mualating his
body in pretty bad shape. The other
outlaw used a. club on him and badly
bruised him. Leaving him outside the
barn in a very feeble condition and un-
escape. but did not take any horses
Nelson is in very precarious state
and it is not known whether he will be
able to recover oxanot. He was taken
to the house wldkre medical aid was
summoned. His body is badly bruised
and cut in such a shape that his
chances for recovery are very poor.
The thieves as stated by Nelson went
west from the Willard farm Their
path was marked by blood stains
which would tend to show that one
or both of them had been wounded
A short distance from the Willard
farm a bloody handkerchief was found
which would tend to strengthen the
belief that one of the robbers was shot.
The crime is one of the most afro
cious that has been committed in that
section of the country for several
years and the wrath Of the whole COM
munity is aroused over the affair The
officers in that section have all been
notified and if the offenders are caught
they are apt to meet with very poor
treatment at the hands of the natives.
Mr. Willard. the owner Of the farm
upon which the attempted robbery
took place. was on a business trip in
Kansas City at the time.

shortage, Mr. Eichey paid over the
money and gave his note
Mr.. McKeever, for Mr.. Grimes. said.
There actually was shortage in the
treasury; the money may have been
taken out of the cash drawer. and the
Abilene draft used simply to cover up
the shortage. The money was actually
missing from the treasury. If it is to
be denied that there was an actual
shortage, I want to amend my pIeads
a shortage
Case Is Continued.
Judge Dana, after hearing arEu-
ments for some time, held that under
the pleadings filed by the plaintiff. it
could not go ahead and prove that the
shortage of funds in the state treasury
might have been due to the abstraction
of money from the cash drawer. which
the Abilene draft shielded from detec-
ton
E. D. McKeever then asked pernnis-
sion to amend his pleadings to admit
such proof.
This was objected to by the attor-
neys for Richey. but Judge Dana ruled
that the pleadings could be amended.
The attorneys for Richey then de-
elined to proceed with the case under
amended pleadings, and Judge Dana
continued the case until the next term
of court. He ordered that the costs for
the present term should be taxed
against the plaintiff, Frank Grimes, as
it was owing to a change In Grimes
pleadings that the case had to be con-
tinued.
