S~teunenberg and the manifold crimes

ONE OF THE Six FLOWER STAND6s
which was furnished, and after that
the men at the station did the rest
THE expenditure Of $12 by the city fol
the seed represents the total outlay fol-
the magnificent grounds surrounding
the station building.
Under Captain Wilmot the firemen
graded and planted the lawn and
watched it so carefully that there Is
perhaps not better one in the city. In
front Of the building they planted q
flower bed, in the form Of Maltese
cross. 1t is filled with foliage plants of
many hues, and In the center there is
a small century plant Along the front
wall there IS a row OF gladioluses and
tuberOses, solicited and received from
the horticultural department at Wash
1ngton. On the south side Of the lot is
a hedge Of sweet peas. and on the same
side large bed Of pansies, the gift of
the Park Floral company, and another
bed Of geraniums.
The most extraordinary and unique
features Of the decorations are the
flower stands devised by the men. For
one of these an inverted section Of Il
tree trunk, with the spreading limbs
serving for support, was used. On top
OF this an oblong box was placed, COW
cred with decorative work made from
small twigs. There are six Of these
boxes In various patterns, and each
one represents an endless amount Of
work and patience. The material nee
@essary for their construction was all
gathered in the alleys and vacant lots
of the neighborhood. The completed
boxes, filled with dozens Of varieties
of plants and trailing vines, are really
works Of art, single one containing
geraniums of many types, bluebells,
wandering jews, pinks. nasturtiums
and small peoples.
In addition to these there are other
stands which are If anything could be,
even more strange in their origin. In
the alleys near the station the firemen
found two kitchen water tanks that
had been deserted by their owners.

planted inside. They have quite lost
their homely identity and serve as
very attractive flower boxes, with long
strands of delicate vines trailing from
their sides. Withal there Is much for
the men ut the station to be proud Of,
for ordinarily fire station Is not a
thing of beauty. but in this case the
men have toiled to such good purpose
that there is not private lawn In
Denver where more taste is shown in
the decorations or greater success OBJ

FARMERS OUTFIT
Stolen Team Found at Mill Plain
 This Morning.

A horse and carriage belonging to Edgar S. Tibble of Cheshire was found abandoned near Grange hall, Mill Plain this morning by couple of boys who informed police head quarters. Detectives Keegan and Colesanto went out to investigate and found the horse roaming about the woods near the hall and the car- (ciage thrown in the bushes by the side of the road. It is thought that the outfit was stolen from MT Tibble's barn about 1:30 o'clock this morn ing by the men who entered the postofflce at Yalesville and blew up the safe. From there it Is thought the two men walked to Cheshire, six miles distant, broke into the barn, secured the horse and carriage and drove to this city.
 Constable w. H. Hinman of Cheshire arrived in this city this af- ternoon to obtain the horse and wagon. MT Hinman is convinced that the fellows who entered the post office were the persons who stole the horse. It seems as if Hinman hit 1t on the head for 1t was evident that the horse stealers would take no chances on driving into town. The harness was taken from the horse and thrown into the wagon which was hidden by the thieves in the bushes. This morning when the horse became tired of wandering through the brush 1t took to the streets and that Is how the boys saw it. It was only a short time after the horse was found that the local police received word from Cheshire to be on the lookout for 1t. At this writing 1t is not known how much was taken from the postoffice but 1t is said to be over $1.37 and 63 cents worth of stamps. There Is great excitement in the village.

Tokio. June 1.--Pror Ladd of Yale who has returned to Tokio after spending two months in Korea at the special invitation of Marquis Ito. gives a very hopeful forecast of the future of the peninsula. Prof Ladd attributes the unprecedented quiet HOW prevail ing in Korea to the change in the min istry and to the steadily growing in- fluence of Marquis Ito, and believes that the new cabinet will greatly facilitate the residency's work of re- form in sli departments of the govern ment.
 Strong efforts said Prof Ladd are be- ing made to improve agriculture and toward the development of many in- dustries, which will bear fruits within n dcade. Prof Ladd also noticed n conspicuous improvement in the atti- tude of the foreign residents toward the Japanese residency.

RAN INTO FENCE
s. Schneer Had No Choice Be.
 tween That and Wagon.

The alternative of killing a man and wrecking his team or running over a fence was offered this fore noon to Samuel M. Schneer, a jewell CT at 19S South Main street. He ac- cepted the latter, and the fence in front of the house above Fogg's gro- cery on North square will have to be repaired, presumably by Schneer, though morally the obligation is on Perry Smith, farmer, from Middle bury.
 Smiths horse and wagon were hitched behind one of the large trees on the north side of the square, and apparently Smith himself was in the house near by. Schneer was driving northward in his automobile and was little distance from the horse when Smith got on board his team and turned directly outward in the way of the oncoming machine. Evident ly Smith did not see the machine until 1t was right on him and then he lost control of himself. Schneer tried to dodge and let him pass, but the farmer was beyond himself, and those who witnessed the affair say that .Schneer had to do either one of two things, drive headlong into the farmers outfit or take the fence, for stop he could not. He took the fence and several yards of it were made kindling wood of in second. Schneer got out of his machine, in formed the owner of the fence that he would be responsible for the dam- age, while the gentleman from Mid dlebury, the cause of all the trouble. went his way serenely down North Main street.
