HORSE THIEVES
IN A BOLD JOB
Steal Team of Bay Mares
Standing Tied in Market
Square.
THEN DRIVE OUT OF CITY
Are Traced as Far as Orion, Where
the Trail Is Lost for Time Being
Outfit Valued at $500.

A team of bay mares was stolen yes
terday afternoon from Hugh Robinson,
a farmer whose home is two miles
south OF Milan. Mr.. Robinson had
driven to Rock Island with a wagon
load of hogs and he had disposed of
them during the morning. At noon he
tied the team in Market square and
went to a restaurant for his dinner.
An hour latter when he returned to
the square with the intention of driv-
ing out to his home, he found that he
was minus his horses and wagon.
The horse thieves were apparently
of the type which infested the plains
in the days of 49," and their very
boldness enabled them to get out of
the city without anyone suspecting
them No one noticed them so far as
the police are able to learn and it
seems that they simple walked up to
the wagon, united the team and drove
away without anyone being the wiser.
The outfit was valued at about $500,
one of the horses alone being worth
$500.
Traced to Orion.
The police were notified at once that
horse thieves had been at work and an
investigation was started. They were
able to learn nothing locally, as no
one could be found who had seen the
wagon being driven away. The cities,
towns. and villages were communica-
ted with and this morning it was learn
ed from the authorities at Coal Valley
that a team answering the description
of the stolen one, had been put up at
livery there for the night, but that it
had departed early this morning. No
thing about the drivers could be ascer-
tanned. Later on word came from
thre, but the wagon which
had been driven out Of Rock Island
had been replaced by q lighter one.
At Orion the trial was lost, but the
police expect to have the Thieves in
rustody before morning
street walkers Fined.
Three street walkers who were pick |
ed up by the police Monday night were
tried yesterday afternoon and each |
of them was given fines and ordered
to fit away to other fields. Two of the
three were colored girls named Olga
Kelley and Mary Harris. The white |
girl was Mary Wilson. The latter paid |
a fine of SO and costs and each of |
the other two paid IS and costs.

City Chat
WHICH,


John Henry Jasper Johnson is a
leader of reforms,
Always somewhere in the center Of
our economic storms,
And he fights for the afflicted and
he weeps for the oppressed
Till his swelling bosom often breaks
the buttons OF his vest
He has spoken for the wretched
clean from Beersheba to Dan,
And he'll gladly rail all morning at
the tyranny of man,
And I'm sure a three-inch spyglass
searching ever and anon
Couldn't find a man in favor of more
big reforms than John.
All, but when he seeks his slippers
and his 1eather-coyered couch,
He's the meanest tempered uplift
man that ever nursed a crouch.
How he hollers at the children! How
he growls at Mrs. j.
Till they feel like singing ragtime
when he leaves them for the
day.
Now, James W. McSmithers is an
OIuST Iype-OA, yes,
And he cops our local dollars with
remarkable success;
And he nabs our city franchises as
often as they're loose,
And he owns II aldermanic votes
for private use.
And when very gentle editors start
classifying James,
"a parasitic tyrant" is the mildest
of their names;
And always when he's mentioned he
is qualified-as thus
BOSS McSmithers-civic vampire
our disgraceful incubus!"
But, good gracious, you should see
him in the bosom Of his folks,
Playing hide-and-seek with baby,
telling Bobby funny jokes.
Such chap for romps and frolics in
the daily family life!
Such a man for little picnics with
the kiddies and the wife!
And so I'm not decided whether l
should choose to be
Just an enemy of mankind with a
loving familee;
Or friend of all creation from Jo-
hannesburg to Nome,
with the children under sofas when
papa comes grumping home.

When a rhetorician or grammarian

because he grows red in the face and

that he is in no condition TO write

condemns slang as one might con-
