HOW A SADDLK WAS STOLBN AND
RKCOVKHKl).
March 25, 1908.
Editor Alliance Herald:
On tho night of March 20, a saddle was
Stolen from tho barn of Davo Briggs about
twenty miles northeast of Allianco. Tho
Briggs brothers having reason to suspect
certain parties and getting on to tho tracks
of a horse that started from tho barn fol
lowed it until thoy arrived at a placo somo
fifteen miles or more south of Lakeside and
found tho saddle in possession of the party
suspected. Davo and Thomas Briggs took
possession of both tho party and thesaddlo
secured an officer, placed the thief undor
arrest, took him to Lakeside and on Thurs
day morning gave him a hearing at which
he was bound over to the district court
undor bonds of Eight hundred dollars.
Tho Jjriggs boys deserve great credit for
tho pluck and energy displayed in this
matter and It is to be hoped that moro
such energy will be exercised by tho better
class of our citizens in an effort to punish
and even get rid of a class of worthless and
undesirable citizens, of which South Sheri
dan county has a surplus.
There aro a great many industrious and
progressive people in our community and
it is discouraging In tho extreme to bo
tortured and stolen from by worthless
vagabonds, who manage to live in idlo
luxury without working and without any
visible means of support. Somo of these
people poso as singers aud poets and find
favor with oven a certain class of editor,
and cast slurs nt their neighbors who mako
an honest living. ' A Subscriber.
SHOOTING IIORSIIS.
On Saturday March 14, upon arriving
home from Alliance I found a lot of
hunters in my hay meadow among my
stock and discovered a mare bleeding from
fresh shot wounds in the shoulder. Upon
further examination I found that six head
had been shot. One horse, my best stallion
was filled with shot from both sides and in
the head, some of the shot entering tho
brain and some entering the intestines
causing his death two days after. I found
four hunters who were camped on my
place but they assure me that they did not
shoot my horses. Others who had been
there the same day declare they did not
shoot them, but the horses were shot and
in order that these sports should be enter
tained I am made to suffer a loss of from
$400 to $Goo. Two horses have been shot
nnd killed on my place before during the
last two years, besides other property
burned up and destroyed. It has gotten
to a point where "patience ceises to be a
virtue," nnd some of those parties who
take undue liberty with the property of
others will be made an example of if they
insist on amusing themselves in this way
in the future. Walter R. Kknt.
Business for the Fire Department.
The fire fiend was busy in the city
last Sunday and Monday. Early Sun
day morning the kitchen stove in the
Star restaurant got to acting up and
suddenly an explosion occurred, which
sent the stove in the air and fire in the
room followed. The department was
called out nt,d but for its timely efforts
the Star would doubtlessly soon have
disappeared in the uiins. Enough
damage was done, however, to put tho
place out of business until next Mon
day, the insurance companies repairing
the damage.
Monday afternoon the department
had business in the eastern part of the
city, where a little boy and a match
near n hay stack on Mrs. Moran's
premises got mixed up. Of course, the
lad lit the match and the match set fire
to the hay stack and the fire from the
stack caught the barn, and for a time
it looked as if there'd be no end to the
destruction, but the department soon
had a stream of water plying on the
burning heap and further loss was
averted.

Applicants for city mail delivery to
