Thete tools have since been identified as belonging to Chrls Boten, and the fellow will now have to stand trial for larcony, the grand [jury having his case in hand. There seems to be a great varlety of oplnion as to how Judge Oonnor will de- olde the question ralsed in the Injunction oases by attorneys for the defendants. Both sldes express themselves as confi- dent. The decision will be glven next Saturday, when Judge Connor will be here again, ready to hear anythlng more that may be offered in the cases. In the meantime there will be nothing more done. A man claiming to be a stranger in the clty, aud glving the name of George Smith, was brought up before Judge Aylesworth yesterdsy morning for being drunk. It appears he was found In the coal shed In the rear of the county court house on Monday night sleeping off the {ll effects of his drink, and on belng brought up before the judge denied the charge. Witnesses were seat for and his fine was thereby Increated to $10.80; although he had $53.68 on his person when arrested he refused to pay the fine until after shackles were fastened onto him, previous to being put on the streets to work his fine out. Then he wilted and paid. The opening of the gambling houses is sald to be due to the fact that a number of the business men urged the mayor to let the places run, at least through the races. If they are properly coudncted thers may ba no attempt to shut them up agaln, but they will certainly have to be conducted on far different principles than those which have been acted on In the past. The mayor says that when they were shut up before there was a good deal of talk about their golng to tell some disagreeable things about him, but he thinks there has been time enough to tell any such things, and now personally he feels that he has shown that he is not afraid of any squeal, or other action, on thelr part, and he Is willing to have them run, if the people want them to ran. ———— Bruesels carpets, tapestry carpets, in- graln carpets, ruge, mats, matting, etc., in speclal bargains, at Harkness Broth- ors’y —— The Coming Circus, Last week's Freeman, published at McPherson, Kan., contains the follow- ing concerning John Robinson’s great circus, which is to be here next Satur- day, May 30: The old John Roblnson clrcus and me- nagerie reached McPherson on Sundsy morning and consequently enjoyed a day’s rest here before showing Monday. This show 1s remarkable In one respect, and that is in preventing the usual army of fakirs and swindlera followlng it wup. We have not heard of a !h‘lFlB case of ““roped in” or ‘‘short change” In connectlon with the Robinson show. Nor was there any bolsterous conduct on the part of the employes.

To the Editor.—Dgar 8ir:—1I noticed jin the Bee a fow days ago an item In reference to the finding, some distance from town, by a couple of members of the aldermanic Investigating committee, of a warped and lonesome looking car coupling, ‘‘sapposed to be a relic of the great Rock Taland ex- plosion of 1883.” What recollections a rello of that memorable day bring to one of the lieutenants who was into all the affales of the day, prearranged and accldental, head over heels ! One Incldent of herolc bravery connected with that terrible exposion, which, but for the knowledge of employes as to what was in the car, and thelr prompt actlon in glving the alarm, would cer- tainly have resulted In many horrible deaths, ocourred that was worthy of ex- tended notice, but whic! not made public at the time because of the well known modesty of tae hero, who bought up myself and other nosing raminators for news and secured sllence. The in- cldent occurred to a gentloman, after the car was well on fire, and while every one who knew the destructive contents wera waiting and watching for hex to go and make kmdling wood small scraps of ov- erything near by, rescuing a toddling youngster from certain death. The little one was wabbling slowly toward the Inno. cent looking magazine of deadly destruc- tlon, when the gentleman seeing it and expecting evary second that the explo- slon would occar, dashed up the track, past the burning car, and, snatching up the Innocent child, harrled it out of dan. ger, and had just set It down In a place of distant safety when the car, glant pow- der, bulldings, tracks, etc., flew In all directions, With a fall knowledge of what w occur at any Insfance, I say the act was one of bravery and geruine herolsm, and I never altogether forgave Jerome McOlintock, thy gentlemanly and unassuming frelght agent of the Rock Island, for he was the hero, for buying me off to keep It out of the paper, thus spoiling & nalf column breeze.
