Town Had No Water Works

Almost the entire town of Oceana,
Wyoming county, was wiped out by
hire last Thursday. The loss will
exceed 500, 900, with but very little
insurance. The town has no water
works or re-6ghting facilities, and
the blaze spread with frightful ra-
pidity, defying all the efforts of the
hastily organized bucket brih ade to
bring it under control.

CAUGHT WITH

Sheriff Of DaIhaTi Captures
Amarillo Men For Theft Of
SNssd Horses
tFrom saturday's pallyO

Sheriff Rube Hutton came in on
the Denver yesterday from Dalhart
with Henry Beslng and a man named
Thompson whom he caught with the
stolen horses at Dalhart, The men
we're lodged In Jail here and will an
swer to the charge OF horse theft at
the next term OF the district court.
The horses In question we're stolen
from Sneed Brothers pasture north
OF town last week. The owner Inn
medIately advertised for the missing
animals and sent out circulars to tho
various sherifis. Lack OF telegraphio
communication delayed the work to a
certain extent but sheriff Hutton at
Dalhart got news Of the theft and the
description OF the horses and was on
the lookout for the stuff.
Suspicious actions on the part OF
the two men who hailed from ANA
rlllo, lead to an investigation which
showed beyond doubt that they had
driven the horses away from here
They we're accordingly placed under
arrest and as soon as possible were
brought here.
Five horses we're In the bunch that
disappeared from the sneed pasture
but only four horses we're recovered.
The men deny having had the other
horse but the officers here are the
opinion that they either dropped the
horse because It was to easy Of
Identification or sold II before they
reached Guymon, Oklahoma, where
they went after leaving here.
The men protested to Sheriff Hut
ton that they had bought the horses
and even maintained that claim yes
tereday when they we're lodged in
jail Mr.. sneed is not aware OF any
sale so the statement Of the men lack
much OF having weight Beslng has
been charged with theft before but
has never been convicted for serious
oifense. Both are twenty-five years
or more OF age and have lived in
Amarillo for some time.
