BOLD RuSTLERS ELUDE OF
FICERS

Horse thieves got busy on the
Mackay branch north of here Sun
day and got away with twenty-five
head Of horses Monday about mid
night they crossed the river here, and
headed south. In SO great hurry
were they, and SO anxious TO escape
observation that they drove the horses
across the steep grade of the rail-
road south OF the depot. Six of the
animals crossed the cattle guard into
the enclosed right of way and were
left there, the risk of capture evil
IDENTIFY being considered too great to-
warrant tarrying longer than neces-
sary.
And we'll they did so, because Con-
stable George Strong and others had
been appraised that they might come
this way, and were notified soon after
they passed through, by Joe Gish
whose attention was drawn to the
horses as they were crossing the
track. Two men were in charge of
the animals at that time Word re-
ceiyed since is to the effect that three
men were in charge of them as they
passed through Aberdeen. 1t is pre-
sumed that one Of the men was act
ing as scout when the horses were
taken through, proceeding them into
town and getting word back that the
coast was clear. This theory Is
strengthened by the fact that when
the thieves discovered they were be-
ing followed they abandoned all but
three of the animals, indicating mat
there were as many of the thieves,
George, Strong, Arthur West and
Rufus Lounsbury took up the trail Of
the thieves as soon as they could after
being notified Of them having passed
through, and pressed the men SO close
that they abandoned thirteen Of the
remaining sixteen head Of horses at
the Narrows, about twelve miles be-
low town. These were rounded up
and returned to the owner, o. l..
Partmesil, by Mr.. Strong Tuesday.
Officers from Bingham county had
arrived by that time and took up the
trail on fresh mounts. The jaded
animals OF the thieves could not keep
ahead Of the officers, and were aban-
doned on Raft river, and returned to
American Falls Thursday. The thieves
we're not captured, but a strict watch |
is being kept for them, and they will |
be fortunate If they succeed in getting
away.
One Of the men in charge OF the
horses is said to have passed the win
ter here, leaving suddenly about two
months ago. Soon after his disap-
pearance horses began to disappear,
and that he had some connection with
their disappearance is considered very
probable. The officers believe they
know whom all the party were, and
are confident of rounding them up In
the near future.
The boldness of the thieves is some
thing remarkable. The horses, all
work animals, were taken from an
enclosure with their halters on, pass
ing through Aberdeen early in the
evening, and through American Falls
on bright night, SO little that any
one acquainted with them would cas-
lily have recognized them. The Off
GERS have been given tip that the
route through town was thoroughly
and the fact asccrtained be-
yond question that bridge was not
guarded before the horses were
brought down from the hill. +

in growing city must be admitted, al
though it may work hardship in indi-
vidual cases, and the plans which may
be adopted may not meet with the
approval Of some OF the property owners.
Until recently no definite plans for per
manent street work have been made,
with the result that grades, sidewalks
and roads have been made as each one
saw fit, and to avoid expense to prop
erty owners many things have been
allowed that must sooner or later be
changed. 1t is yet time to correct
many of these Irregularities, and it is

Thus far in the tariff debates in
congress the old term "free trade" and
"Chinese wall" have been kept in th c
background, says the Statesman. Con.
gressmen, as yet unexeited and as yet
making no speeches for bunoomEe.
recognize that there are few free
traders left In the United States, and
that on the other hand there are very
few people who believe In building
a Chinese wall OF tariff around the
country. This fact may be lost sight
of when the two parties up against
each other in the search for issues
upon which to differ, but there will
probaly not be that clear line Of divi-
sion between them on this subject
that there used 10 be. Judging from
the utterance thus far upon both
sides there are many Democrats who
demand protection for the products
OF their constituencies as in the case
of Texans who want hides protected,
of Missourians who desire zinc pro-
ducts protected or of Louisianians
who want duty on sugar. Upon the
other hand there are many Repub-
lioans among whose constituents con-
sumers rather than producers are in
the majority, and they naturally want
tie tariffs marked down so that their
people may buy as cheaply as pos
sible. The great capitol ia buzzinR
just now with contending interests
with not much thought OF party lines
and with the old shibboleths relegated
to ancient history.
