Capture a Convict

Three men, driving good
team Of horses hitched to a
spring wagon. stopped at Chas.
Chenoweth's Saturday night, in
quired about the extent Of the
telephone line. and left next
morning. Late Sunday after
noon q phone message to the
sheriff requesting him to look out
for three horse thieves who had
"hjred" a team of Thomas livery
barn in Las Animas, was re-
ceiyed.
Sheriff Mcfarland and Under
sheriff Herbert Homsher left that
night for the southeast in pur-
suit of the men and horses. At
w. H. Konkel's at an early hour
the officers aroused all the ranch
men that could be reached by
phone and finally learned that
the party had passed A. Penny's
going toward the Lamport ranch.
The officers took breakfast before
daylight at B. F. Lamport's S
where they learned that the par
ty had driven by late the previ-
Gus afternoon, going in the di-
rection of Streator's ranch twen-
ty miles distant. in Kansas.
Mr.. Lamport went south hur-
riedly to the Miles ranch and tel
ephoned the particulars to c. G..
Steetor, and learning that the
party was just driving up, asked
him to detain them as long as
possible. Mr.. Streator had the
cook delay breakfast and when
the true knights of the road Of
fered to settle for the meals pro-
posed that they furnish music
for the boys to dance by as they
had fiddle along and the boys
had been fighting fire several
nights.
When the officers rode up from
trailing them over a tortuous
route-for the criminals had fre-
qucntly left the road to cover
their tracks, a merry scene
awaited them and the surprised
men and the horses were readily
taken in custody. They had two
guns and a trunk in the wagon.
The officers lodged the prison.
ers in the county Jail in Spring
field Tuesday noon and Deputy
sheriff Lynch of Lamar and
the owner of the horses, Mr..
Thomas, who had met the Off
GERS returning with the prisoners
between V.llers' and Penny's,
took the men to Lamar next day.
Two gave the name of O'Brien,
and one Taylor.
Sheriff Mcfarland had papers
with which he identified one of
the O'Brien's as Neese, an es-
capped convict from the Kansas
penitentiary at Lansing. He
telegraphed the warden and was
informed that the reward of $50
would be paid and that they
would send an an officer to get
Neese.
Three phone lines were used in
catching these criminals Tin this
county, and yet there are good
people in the county who oppose
telephones.

Bin Advance in Paner.

The following news item taken from
the New York lines has the merit OF
containing facts. We have during the
past week received notices to the Ell
fec, from the wholesale paper houses.
Rags are among the articles going
up in price, and this is gwen as the
chief reason why the prices OF writing
papers are to be advanced from 5 tc
20 per cent on various grades The
stationery trade received notices from
paper mills Withdrawing all quotation,
pending revision.
One Of the larges, companies, the
American Writing Paper Company, in
its letter to jobbers, said the acton
was necessary lowing to the continued
advances in rags and all other mate.

iug paper.
Coal bills and labor ale both higher
IN price tins winter, and the men are
said to contemplate further demands.
rhe grades that will feel the maximum
advances, ii is said, are those which
are sold in the greatest quantities and
range in wholesale prices from 5 to 30
cents pound.
Various other lines are to be advanc-
ed also The United States Envelope
Company is sending out notices with
drawing all old prices, and II IS said
that the envelope advances will gener-

The Game Laws Again.

rs usual, dozen OF more bills have
been introduced in the legislature,
eight of which have been approved
by the Joint committees OF the two
houses. aud in substance are as fol-
lows:
No game of any kind can he sold in
the markets of this State.
There can be no shooting in New
Jersey betWeen January aud Sep
TENDER |.
Non-residents to pay license fee
of $40. 50, and aliens s25 license; resi-.
dent gunner to pay 81 license.
All game net to be removed from
the State.
Woodcock shooting only in the last
three months of the year
Pickerel fishing through holes in
the ice prohibited.
With the exception of the first pro-
vision these amendments should
meet with general approval, but
That ne game of any kind shall be
sold in any of the markets OF the
State. will meet with the disapprov-
al of all who have a fondnsss for
game, but from various reasons are
unable to shoot it themselves.
The greatest destruction wrought
to game i not at the hands Of those
who sell it in the markets bnt the
tremendous slaughter is due to those
hunters who come from the cities in
swarms at the opening of the hunting
season, not to enjoy days outing,
but to see how much they can kill.
The tilst day of the hunting season
last November two hunters on a
Lackawanna train bound for Newark
boosted that they had killed that day
seventy five rabbits between them,
which they had expected to distribute
among their friends. This is not an
isolated case, and the result was that
at the end OF the hunting season there
was scarcely a rabbit to be found. II
is this phase of the question that
should be dealt with rather than the
sale OF game in the market.
