Company and Colorado Fuel and Iron Company.

900 mentioned the United States Steel Corporation
will contribute least s91 100000 which will leave
34O0OO00 for the independent companies Had II
not been the ability of producers hold prices
at a reasonable Level the earnings of the various
steel companies would have been much smaller. As
it is they have been able to show A fair profit

normal.
II is anticipated that the United States Steel
Corporation will show earnings of between S13 and
sl4 q steel sold Notwithstanding the fact
that il has operated through the year n
age basis of 30 per cent of normal The indepeud
ent companies will not fare we'll in the matter
of ratio OF earnings per ton of steel sold. due to
the fact that the majority of them receive little in

The various steel companies expect a much more
favorable year in 1893. While business has shown

ALLEGED HORsETHIEF CAPTURED
Sheriff Kennedy Returns from
Kansas, Bringing Fred Day.

Sheriff Kennedy Returns from
Kansas, Bringing Fred Day.
BROKEN BOW, Neb., Oct. 1~6-(Special.)
Sheriff Kennedy returned from Kansas
last night, having in custody Fred B. Day.
an alleged horse thief who disappeared
from the neighborhood of Arnold about
three weeks ago, taking with him a valu-
able horse and saddle belonging to G. d.
Day, a distant relative. Days whereabouts
up to a short time ago were a mystery
and It was only through some good detec-
tive work that the sheriff located him on a
farm under the name of Roy Stone. Pro-
curing requisition papers the officer de-
scended on his man In quick order and had
him safely behind the bars at Broken Bow
before he had fully recovered from his
surprise. On the return trip the prisoner
became communicative and volunteered the
information that he had ridden the horse
across the line into Colorado and upon
arriving at Hearst had sold both the ami
NAL and saddle at a good price. He started
for Kingsville. Kan. changed his name
and had secured a job near Topeka when
arrested. It would appear that Day is an
old offender, as there is another warrant
hanging over his head charging him with
theft.
