ltvory team at the Eastman livery
barn af this city on September 9th
and started q wn the valley, is stilI
a, large with the team aud rig. All
attempts by the sheriff and deputies
to capture the man have been fruit
less. Although the outfit has been
located several times it has been i'm
possible TO capture the thief
Thief was last heard of at Nor
wood, where he appeared several
days ago, bat by the time the officers
reached the place the mas and rig
were several miles in advance a
them. No communication has been
seeetved from the Sheriff, Pat Han
Ion for two days nd it is supposed
that he is still on the track.
Farmers and rancbers along the
valley report seeing bay team and
new top buggy driven by a man
who answers the description the off,
GERS have of the thief From what
eat be gathered the sheriff and his
party are about eight miles in the
rear Of the rig and often as close 40
-four miles. The man with the
stolen rig is apt in throwing the
authorities of the trail by driving
into side roads and then returning
TO the main travelled road behind the
sheriff. He passes them again in
the night time and before the sheriff
is certain again Of the trail the rig
is far in advance Of the officers.
o of the best descriptions of his
actions was given by a party Of cam.
pers which was in town last Satur-
day. They reported meeting tho
man at two different times on the
road. According 10 their statement.
be takes his time ON the road. He
is heavily armed having a Winches-
ter and a revolver close by his side
while driving. The campers report
ed meeting him late last week,
headed down the valley. They say
that he feeds the team on shesf oats
taken from fields along the way.
Ii has now been nearly two weeks
since the team was taken. In that
time indications point TO the fact
that the team has been driven
large part Of the time. Night drives
have been made with the team in
{ order to cover more territory and in
crease the lead on the officers, is tie
I opinion OF those who are watching
the Developments The searching
/ party fHd at almost regular inter-
walls signs Of his having fed and
rested the team. Persons VINO have
seen him report that he seems in no
particular hurry and drives the team
in a walk most Of the time. They
state that he is always on the look
out and has heavy gun handy.
The livery rig be is driving was
the best one in the Eastman barn at
the time he engaged the rig The

CLAIMS WEBB LAW
CONSTITUTIONAL
COUNSEL FOR STATE HOLDS THAT
DECISION IN WILSON ACT
COVERS CASE.

The first test of the new Webb
Kenyon liquor law will be made In the
district court Monday when the in
junction cases of tue state of Iowa
against the Chicago, Rock Island &
Pacific, the Chicago, Milwaukee & St
Paul railroads and the United States
Express Co. will be taken up by Judge
Francis M. Hunter. According to those
interested in the case, the whole
question to be decided by the court
will be that of the constitutionality OF
the new law.
THE Webb-Kenyon law is constitu-
tional." said Attorney Gillies, council
for the local anti-liquor forces, who
will assist in handling the case for the
state. THE new law goes little
farther than the old Wilson law,
passed In 1890. The Wilson law was
IAN act to limit the effects of the
regulations of commerce between the
several states. This law was assailed
In Just the manner that the new one
Is being treated, and its constitution
atty was decreed In an opinion by
Chief Justice Fuller
THE Wilson law was tested in Kan
sas. Traffic Of liquor is prohibited In
that state by state laws. Raher, an
agent for a Kansas City l1uor house,
shipped liquor into Topeka. He was
Charged With disposing Of liquor In the
original package, and the court found
the case In favor Of the state, or, in
other words, to quote the law, that all
fermented, distilled or other intoxicat-
ing liquors or liquids transported into
any state or territory or remaining
there for use, consumption, sale or
storage therein, shall upon the arrival
In such state or territory be subject to
the operation and effects Of the laws
Of such state enacted in the police
laws OF such state to the same man
ner and the same extent as though
such liquors or liquids had been pro
duc4d In such state, and shall not be
exempt therefrom by reason OF having
been introduced therein in the original
package or otherwise.
Mr.. Gillies states that the above law
is now accepted as constitutional, and
that the question raised by the de-
PENDANTS in this case is the same as
that in the former case, therefore the
court should find this new law consti-
tutional
Attorney General Cosson has exer-
cised great interest in the case, and
Will be here Monday to conduct the
states arguments.
