The Bossier banner. [volume] (Bellevue, Bossier Parish, La.) 1859-1952, 1908-02-20

The recent extra session of the LEGISLATURE in
direct disobedience of the general demand for
economy and reform, created new and useless
office-Travelng Auditor-and added insult to in
jury by making the office appointive instead OF
elective, when every man in that body knew that
public sentiment in this State is strongly in favor OF
curtaiing instead of increasing the appointive
power of the Governor. That the people are in
dugent and long-sufering is true, but it is equally
true that they will not always be trifled with

Boone, Sept. 2S.--Notes and valuable
papers, aggregatlng $4,000, were found
by C.. T. Larson and several workmen
while making some repairs at the
Lockwood elevator. in Story county,
the other day. The, notes varied in
amounts, from $40 to $4,000. and with
only a few exceptions, Were made pay
able to Horace Henderson. of Osceola.
Neb. With the notes were a lot OF
valuable papers, pamphlets and litera-
tl1re relative to the Bankers Life In
surance company, of Dess Moines. WITH
the papers were several Numbered
shirts and collars, and other wearing
apparel, belonging to a gentleman's
wardrobe. From the collection, 1t was
easily seen that Mr.. Henderson had
been robbed of his valise and that the
robbers had gone under the elevator,
to dispose of such stuff as they did not
care for. To ascertain Just what mad
happened the Bankers Life was
'phoned, but could give no light on the
strange collection, further than ito state
Mr.. Henderson was one OF their reg
,ilar agents and that he had been with
them for some time and was now IN
Michigan.
Just why the robbers should have
taken the pains to secrete their plum
der in such an unfrequented place. is
a matter of no little speculation. The
collection was found in the most re-
mote corner, and 1T Is a case of going
thru a needles eye to get there. The
opening itself is large enough ito ad-
NIT a man, but the space between the
joice and ground is so small as to
make crawling almost impossible. The
papers were discovered by pure accd-
dent, as the men were tearing away
a part of the wall. preparatory to i'm
proving the driveway. The notes bore
various dates, and We're given by men
residing as far as Syracuse. n. Y. Mr..
Henderson has been notified. and news
from him is awaited daily.

Spe cial to Times Republican,.
Logan. Sept 2S.-More than two
weeks ago one of Lowrey Moreiand's
horses escaped from the stable and
disappeared Cards were placed in To-
cal and neighborng town papers and
Several parties were searching the
country over for the animal, but no
trace of it could be found.
A neighbor family returned from a
visit of a few weeks and found the
horse in cave not more than a half
block from the stable he had left fiji
teen days before.
The horse had walked up on the top
of the cave, when the roof gave way
and 1t had dropped in. A growth OF
grass and weeds about the place OBJ
scured the view of tho top. and i'm all
the search no one happened to think
of the cave. as the door was closed.
The horse was still alive and was led
back to the stable. altho having been
without food or drink for fifteen days.
Mr.. Moreland stayed with the animal
and a handful of alfalfa every hour.
While thin and gaunt from its long
fast, the horse has lost none of the
flash of its eye, and bids fair to re-
gain it's former condition of flesh.
