ARE STOLEN.

TIE home c. Joe Dillehay, in South

house by raising rear window and
climcing in from the top of box,
and left through the kitchen, leaving
the door open as he left.
On the discovery of the theft this
morning the bloodhounds were tele-
graphed for from Lawrenceburg, and
they were brought up on the early
train, and carried at once to the
scena of the robbery, where they took

RECOMMENDATIONS
BY U. S. SURVEY
PHOSPHATE LANDS ARE WITH
DRAWN FROM THE
ENTRY.

During January 214,749 acres of
land in the State of Idaho believed
10 be under'ain by Phosphate rock
were withdrawn on recommendation
Of the United States Geological Sur
vey. This makes a total outstanding
withdrawal in Idaho of 1,167,137 acres
of phosphate land In Wyoming
1,266,66S acres are now withdrawn as
phosphate land in Utah 107,745 acres,
in Montana $3.50 acres and in Flor.
ids 35,640 acres, a total of 2,611,14O
acres. Partial detailed SURVEYS of
these areas made by survey geolo-
gists show very large quantity of
this important fertilizer, the value
ranging up into the billions of dollars.
The director of the survey, in his lat
est annual report, calls attention to
the need of the enactment of a law
that will permit development of this
resource, which is coming more and
more into use as an agricultural soil
stimulant The United States is be-
lieved to have the greatest phosphate
deposits in the world.

CITY APPEALS FROM DECISION
RepIevin of the Whiskey then Fol-

These Cases Multiply and the inter-

The two barrels of whiskey which
belonged to Irish Taylor and fell into
the hands Of the officers the early
part of the week have been produc-
tive of more lawsuits than is usual in
a direct way. Booze as general
proposition is given up to be the
germ out of which grows more court
proceedings than any one other thing,
but the suits do not generally start
as long as the booze is in the bottle.
That is wherein the two barrels spok-
en- of differ from the general run
Taylor was arrested and carried be-
for the city court, declared guilty and
fined $50 and costs. Taylor refused
to pay the fine and costs and was re-
manded to jail, and attacked the pro-
ceedings with a writ of habeas corpus,
which was heard before Judge Nc
knight Thursday, and Taylor was dis
charged from custody and the city
ordered to pay the costs.
Thereupon Taylor demanded his
whiskey which was in charge of the
city authorities at the city hall, and
this was refused, on the grounds that
it was in charge of the state. The
papers in the habeas corpus case
We're certified to the circuit court
clerk and the city prayed an appeal
and was granted thirty days in which
10 perfect the bill of exceptions.
Tay lcr then through his attorneys
instituted replevin proceedings to get
possession of the two barrels of booze
and that case was tried this morning
before Esqs. I'ariss, Ballanfant and
Guest
After hearing of the evidence and
an examination of the papers the JUS
tees gave their decision that the
whiskey was in the hands of w. p
Erwin as agent for S. A. Hays as cir
cult court clerk, the papers in the FRO
ceilings having been returned to that
official
Immediately following this decision
an order from Clerk Hayes on Mr..
Erwlr for tie whiskey was produced
and recognized and Taylor sent fol
his wagon to carry his property away
from the city hall.

Tears Frozen on Her Cheeks After

Before She Could Go Home.

NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-It's all
right for an experienced aviator to
be 1000 feet in the air in a biplane
even on near-zero day.
It's all right though not quite SC
comfortable-if the gasoline Ia his
carburetor freezes tight all of y sud

couple of skjps.
Given that combination of circum

which attacks the woman passenger

That is exactly what happened yes

Of the most daring flyers hereahouts
took aloft from Belmont Park, Mrs
William A. Dunlap, of Nassau Baule

Beatty is the man who not long
ago took up another good-sized citi
zen and two small boys, making the
first four-passenger fight in Am
erica So wien Mrs. Dunlap an
nounced her ambition he was very
willing to crafty it.
The weather was calm, but bitterly

afternoon. The biplane achieved an
altitude of 1000 feet and then cir
cled over Floral Park, Nassau Boule
ward and other villages in the vicin

a Sumner afternoon in the pay"
But then the motor stopped dead
There was nothing particularly dan
gerous about that, for there was
plenty of height from which to glide
in a long spiral to earth. Also
there were good landing places.
Mrs Dunlap, though, didn't know
all this. She simply knew that
something had gone wrong, since
there was not that comforting shirr
of engines behind her. 1t was very
cold and very silent, and the earth
was long distance down.
So she began to scream and
squirm.
Beatty, realizing that he had a
man's-size jcD to bring the plane to

3ary overbalancings, was obliged to
turn around and grasp Mrs. Dunlap
with one hand 2nd then manoauvre
his descending planes and his bel
aucing apparatus with the other.
Probably ne aviator ever had such
y complicated job. He couldn't
come straight down in a long glide,
because of the character of the
ground but was obliged to circle,
which added anotht, task to those
which already confronted him. But
ne got away with them all and land

1t was found that Mrs. Dunlap's
copious tears had frozen upon her
cheeks, and she required medical
aid before she could go to her home.

very much. He took up several other
