Immediately placed under arrest with
the rest OF the guard when the theft
became known, has confessed that he
knew the theft was TO take place, but

refuses TO implicate any OF his brother
soldiers. II was a detail from the Ninth
cavalry (cOlOred) which was on guard
at division headquarters last Wednes-

The sentry has confessed that shortly
before midnight he was taken off his
post by two others of the Ninth cavalry
and took a drink with them. 1t was
while he was gone, he says, that the
money was stolen safe and all. He
says he knew the safe was gone, and
therefore did not look about the head

post.
Owing TO the fact that it was nearly

that the safe had been stolen, contain
ing the money which was to have been
paid 10 the Utah militia, the robbers
had plenty OF time TO put a wide stretch
OF country between themselves and
camp before that time. The belief is
that the safe was stolen al about mid
night.

Palace a Feature.

One Of the most striking features
OF the French section was the palace
OF agriculture and horticulture, spe-
cial pavilions being devoted to Tunis,
Madagascar. Algeria, western Africa
and IndO-China.
The Spanish pavilion offered a re-
markable reproduction OF the Alham-
bra palace at Grenada. The court of
lions and several of the ruins OF state
were represented, in which the Span
ish government exhibited some of its
national treasures, such as tapestries,
paintings. armors and jewels of the
former royal families.
An interesting feature Of the fair
was the house Of Rubens. which was
the official pavilion of Antwerp. Be
sides representative exhibits OF all
branches Of local activity, the pavilion
contained a retrospective exhibition Of
Flemish art OF the Rubens period. It
was announced some time before the
opening OF the exhibition that many
OF the leading museums of the world
would contribute masterpieces in their
possession.
King Albert inaugurated the colonial
section Of the exhibition on April 80.

The county campaign was approach

load on the American party" The
demand for his resignation was almost
universal and, fearing i'll effects if he
did not resign, the heads of the party
dema nded his resignation. He would
not give il. Then the demand was
made of Mayor Thompson. He said
that if Sheets were forced out. he. too,
would resign.
No one believed il, but when the
showdown came, and Sheets resigned,
Mayor Thompson kept his word. He
gave illness" as an excuse for quitting
the mayoralty, and dropped out Of pol

sheets Police Record.

Sheets used to be chief OF police.
He was appointed by Ezra Thompson,
mayor, and served from the time the
American party grabbed all Of the
city offices at the beginning of 1906.
George Sheets had been detective be-
fore that, and his elevation to the chief
taincy was popular with the inner
circle of his party, IF with no others
Along IN the late summer of that year.
however, Sheets was mixed up IN the
McWhirter scandal, and the council
investigated" criminal charges against
him.
1t was charged that Sheets had cut
$40, 600, which was taken from the Nc
Whirter brothers, simple Scotchmen,
in a card game. Jim Donaldson. now
doing time at the penitentiary for COM
plicity, was said TO be a pal of Sheets
in the deal. The O'Brien brothers, who
have never been arrested: w W. Bell
and ". II. Parent were with Donald
son when the Scots were fleeced. Aft
erward a part of the money was re-
turned to the McWhirters in Sheets
presence.
Sheets was charged with compound
ing a felony and when the council was
bout to administer a coat of white
wash, he was arrested and later tried
In the district court. He was acquitted
after a long fight.

Mayor BransfOrd selected ROderick
Mex emile TO be chief of police, and
the gravestOne maker held the place
until he, too. was forced out. Mr.. Nc
Kenzie happened TO be an alien and
was disqualified to hold office.
Then Mayor BransfOrd selected Sam
Barlow, who is brother-in-law OF
former Mayor Thompson. This pc
culiar coincidence brought about
new political condition, for it gave
Mr.. Thompson more prominence in an
advisory capacity than he cared TO
have. As a matter of fact, he held
alOOf from any connection with police
matters.
Whsl Chief Barlow took hold there
was pandemOnium in the department.
Ii had been skidding along without a
head. and an Inexperienced man es-
sayed the rather ambitious task OF
bringing order out of chaos.
Chief Barlow was forced TO appoint
Sheets chief OF detectives, much
against his win, and with the return
of Sheets, the fractional fight in the
department developed afresh. Sheets
had more influence with the boys
in the department than Barlow, and,
while he did not openly override the
chief. his presence caused untold an
nuyance.

All Efforts FruItIess.

Every effort has been made to trace
the automobile which passed mysteri-
ously through Dale Creek at l o'clock
Wednesday morning, an hour after the
theft is believed to have taken place.
Little comment was made when the
automobile passed through here, but
when IL was learned the next morning
that the safe had been stolen, an eff
Tort was made TO trace the machine.
w ora was sent to Laramie and Ghey-
enne 10 watch for any automobile par
~ but without success. The belief
here is that the automobile went
through Dale Creek, over the trail into
Colorado, and then was lost in the
wilds Of the northern part OF the state.
II Is certain that the scheme was care
fully arranged. and il is doubtful
whether the robbers viii come out OF
their hiding for some time.

Sheets and Harlow Mix.

Sheets and Barlow mixed from the
very start They ere not at all con-
genial and harmony was stricken from
the police vocabulary.
When Chief Barlow began playing
into the hands OF he stockade, lie was
ransgressing on some OF Sheets pre-
serves. for among the dow ntown deni-
Zens Of the underworld ohe3ts hao a
great many stool pigeons" and others
who had influence.
The noise increased until Chief Bar
low openly fought the baWdy houses
in Victoria alley by stationing police
men at the entrances. Along this
unique line of crusading, detectives
were ordered into the game, but they
were called off by Sheets.
That's how 1t all came out, and that's
why Sheets is now going back to the
private sleuthing.
There are rumOrs of more resigna-
tiOns from the department, and the crop
or men who want 10 sever themselves
from police service has not yet been
harvested.
