Confesses to Taking Horse.

Tilden, Neb., Jan. 26.-Special to
The News: Frank Frye, a young man
of twenty-five who lives at Meadow
Grove, yesterday confessed to stealing
horse from the farm of Theodore
Oft, near here, on Saturday night. Frye
was arrested and County Attorney
Nichols arrived this morning from
Madison to take him in charge.
1t was through a sweating process
given him by eX-Sheriff George Losey,
captain last year in the anti-horse
thief association, that Frye was in
duced to confess.
Suspicion had rested upon Frye
through things which he did and
things that he said. He admitted that
Saturday night he bought bottle of
whisky here, went to the farm of OFT
took the horse and later turned the
animal loose, about four miles north
east of the place from which the horse
was stolen.
1t is believed here that Frye was
drunk when he took the horse and
that, probably, he did not realize fully
the seriousness of his offense.
Remarks made to a bank clerk, to-
gether with finding the whisky bottle
on the road, led to suspicion against
him.

DAKOTA SOLONS.
Four Principal Measures to Be Con-
sidered.

Pierre, S. D., Jan 27.-As is usually
the case, the South Dakota legislature
will know after its siX-day recess,
ending today, about what will be the
subject matters of it's work and, in a
general way, what the more important
legislation will be. 1t can now be said
that the remainder of the session will
be occupied particularly with consid
Grafton of the following proposed
measures:
Guaranty of bank deposits; increase
of the membership of the supreme
court to five; pure drug and food bills;
permanent tax commission.
At least three of these four will be-
come laws, it being doubtful whether
the present legislature will reach the
passage of the tax commission bill
urged especially in the farewell mess
age of Governor Crawford.

RIFLE RAILROAD STATIONS.
81 Dakota City and Coburn Junction
Trunks Are Smashed

Sioux City, Ia, Jan. 27.-Unknown
burglars broke into the depots of the
Omaha road at Dakota City, Neb., and
Coburn Junction, Neb., securing sew
eral hundred dollars worth of goods
and destroying as much more.
1t is evident that both jobs were
done by the same gang, as the work
was identical. In each place trunks
were broken open and rihed, boxes de
molshed and the contents strewn on
the floor, while almost every drawer
in the two depots had been pried
open.
There was no money in either of the
depots, the only loot secured by the in
truders being goods, but what kind
the railroad officials refuse to state
The robbery bore the earmarks of pro-
