WAS OWN DETECTIVE.
Farmer Trails Tracks and Find Men
Who Took Seed.

Liberal, Kan, May 12.-Acting as
his own detective o. D. Nickle, a
farmer living six miles north, gath
cred evidence which County Attorney
Clyde Commons believes will result in
the conviction of H. Pennington and
an associate of grand larceny. Nickle
discovered his granary had been rob-
bed of considerable kaffir corn seed.
Fresh tracks of two wagons were
found by the granary. He trailed the
wagons to the Liberal elevator here
and found two loads had been sold for
$41.95 by Pennington and an asso-
ciate. AS the check had not reached
the bank he inquired at several stores
and learned where it had been cashed.
He then searched the city, locating
the men at the stock yards with their
teams and wagons. He requested by
ISLANDERS to watch them while he went
for the sheriff. When the officers ar
rived the men had fled, leaving their
wagons and teams behind. Attach
ments were made on the teams at once
and the county attorney has sworn out
warrants for the mems arrest on
grand larceny charges. The country
is being secured for their apprehen-
sion.

OSCAR PLANS OPERA WAR
To Camp on Trail of Metropoli-
tan-He Won't Discuss It.

There seems TO be little doubt that
Oscar Hammerstein is preparing TO re-
enter into direct competition with the
Metropolitan opera Company. He refuses
at present either to confirm or deny this.
but a remark addressed yesterday to
Tribune reporter IS Of interest
Il had intended definitely TO establish
an institution TO give opera In English
until the City club announced its plan
TO give English opera at the Century
Theatre" said Mr. Hammerstein. This
was a direct attack upon me by the Met
ropohtan, and hence | abandoned my
original intention. ] am not yet ready 10
announce my final plans for the opera
season that is TO open I'm November at
my new house, but | can say they Will
cause great interest in the musical
world"
Dispatches from Europe announce that
Mr.. Hammersten has engaged Nine.
Media, Mile. Victoria Fer. Maurice Re-
maud and Ansemi. an Italian lyric tenor.
II is evident that artists like these would
never be presented at popular prices. 1t
is also stated that Mr.. Hammerstein in
tends 10 open mis- new opera house with
performance OF one Of Massenets
works which has not yet been given In
America. probably either "Therese' or
Don Quixote." His new conductor, Gu
seppe Daroni. Mr. Hammerstein says
he considers one of the great conductors
of the world. DarOn. who has recently
been conducting in Barcelona, is IN his
twenties only.
