Goods Stolen From Railroad,

Yesterday afternoon Detectives Law
ha, in company with Chief of Police
Marquardt armed with a search war
rant, entered the home of Mrs. Mary
Alshire at 1912 South Third street and
found about 5000 worth of merchan-
disc, including coats, shoes, linens,
etc, which had been stolen from
freight cars of the Northwestern rail-
road. William Alshire, son of Mrs.
Alshire, who is a freight brakeman for
the Northwestern, was in the house at
the time and was taken in charge by
the officers. On pretense of going to-
an upstairs room to get more of the
stolen property, he escaped through a
window and today he is being traced
along the road toward Omaha with
detective in hot pursuit.
Upon many complaints of shortage
of goods from Chicago, Detective Law
renee commenced a vigorous search
for the thief, whose accomplices, it is
thought, put the authorities on AL
shire's track.
Mother Affects Surprise.
Mrs. AlShlre seems very much
worked up over the affair and claims
she did not know her son had stolen
goods in the house until the detectives
found them yesterday. She says she
had just come from st. Joseph, Mo-,
four months ago to keep house for
her son, who has been working for
the Northwestern here for the past
eleven months. Mrs. Alshire thinks
her son had accomplices who led him
to do the stealing, in which opinion
she is upheld by few railroad men
who board at the Alshire house.
Sentiment among some of the men
at the Junction seems to be that AL
shire did the stealing during the move
ment of trains and was posted by
some person who knew just where the
goods were placed.
Detective Stewart left for the east,
where traces of Alshire have been
found.

"The Third Deqree."

When Charles Klein wrote 1.-THE
Lion and the Mouse" he delved into
a great problem, which he solved in a
splendid dramatic way, holding the
breathless interest of his audience
throughout and making the play a
huge success. Since it's production by
Henry B. Harris, Mr.. Klein has con.
stantly searched for another subject
equally convincing and real, and the
success of THE Third Degree" proves
only too well that his quest was not
in vain.
AS the title implies, the play is
founded on the great police system Of
sweating" something we all hear Of
in mysterious, indirect way, but about
which few of us ever know anything at
first hand The drama deals with human
emotions and the attitude of the police
towards suspected criminals, and
while it treats honestly of this theme
it does not in any sense reek with
crime and criminals, as casual
glance at the title would lead one to
believe. Withal it tells powerful
story, human, clean and real, and is
fitting companion to its predecessor,
1.-THE Lion and the Mouse"
Henry B. Harris is sending his best
cast of players to interpret this great
drama at the Norfolk Auditorium
Tuesday September Ia, the principals
of which are Paul Everton, Fernando
Eliscu, e. A. Eberle, Malcolm Duncan,
Irene Oshier, Alfred Moore, T. l.. Cole
man, Francis Bonn, H. H. Forseman,
Ralph Ramsay and A. H. Summons.

at the council were Major MacI.augh.
lin, Major Brennan, Interpreter Ber-
gen and Assistant Interpreter George
Fire Thunder. and about 100 Indians
led by Charles Turning Hawk, the
president OF the Ogallala grand coun.
Gil on this reservation.
Major Mclaughlin very carefully
and fully explained the provisions of
the Gamble bill. After going into the
details, he then advised them that no
matter what they did, congress had
the power to open If they wished so
to do, and told them of the decision
of the United States supreme court in
the Lone Wolf case. He advised the
Indians to submit any notifications
they desired and told them he would
aid them in any fair and reasonable
modification they might suggest. The
meeting then adjourned until 1880 p.
IN.
Indians Reject the Offer.
The Indians had council among
themselves, so the adjourned meeting
did not meet until about $3.50 p. m.
Turning Hawk then arose and said
that as the president of the council he
wished to state that the Indians took
but little interest in the matter, and
that they were opposed to the bill and
that they had so voted. He further
said that the council had selected one
speaker from each district, and that
he would introduce them, to-wit:
George Fire Thunder, Black Wolf,
Silas Red Dog, Gets There First,
George Little Wound, ct al. To tell
in detail what they said, would be
long matter. They were, to a man,
that is, the speakers, opposed to the
bill. They knew before they began
that the die was cast and they could
not stop Il; but they would not yield
an inch. Their speeches were bitter in
tone and full of reproaches to the gov
eminent for not keeping faith. They
stated that it was always a give, a give
Of their land to the whites until today
they had but small quantity of land
left, and that the whites were after
that. They wanted to know what use
were the treaties, If congress could set
them aside without the Indians con-
sent.
Speak In Saddened Tones.
They said they wanted their surplus
lands, If there were any left, for their
unborn children. They spoke in de-
fiant but in saddened tones. They
knew that what they said in opposi-
ton was useless, but they said what
they did to go into the public records,
for future reference.
When the speaking was over, Major
MacLaughlin told them that he would
meet them the next morning If they
desired, but this the "stalwarts" would
not have. On the vote, fifty-six stall
warts voted to adjourn sine die, while
twenty-four insurgents voted no.
The red men of South Dakota are
divided like their white brothers, into
"stalwarts" and insurgents"
The insurgents then held a meeting
on the second with the inspector and
they have agreed to hold big pow
WOW at Allen on the 18th. The matter
will be fully discussed there, and con-
gress will go ahead and do as it
pleases.
