HORSE THIEF APPREHENDED
t'liarlo (IrrslnT Caught While l.in
1I)p1 on a IIaim It iMNir Tor
Hnntoii, Wyoming
Sheriff Cal Coi went to Torring
ton, Wyoming, last Thursday In an
swer to a message from the sheriff
at that plare announcing that
Charles Gresher, who had left the
Thelan ranch near Alliance a few
days ago with one of Mr. Pbelan's
best horses, had been captured and
landed In Jail.
The sheriff and prisoner returned
to Alliance Friday and Oresher was
lodged In the county Jail. He was
arraigned before Judge Derry for
his preliminary hearing Monday
morning, and plead guilty to stealing
the horse. His bond was fixed at
$1,000, but as there were no takers
the young man was returned to the
Jail, where he will rest until the
next term of the district court, at
which time It Is probable he will be
sentenced to a term In the peniten
tiary. He also stole a saddle and
bridle from one of the ranch hands.
It would seem from Oresher's tes
timony that he has a desire to be
come a "regular bad man". When
the sheriff at Torrlngton made the
arrest, he went to the ranch where
his man was working, and Informed
the owner of the circumstances. The
owner told htm that Oresher was a
"mean one" and that if the sheriff
entered the house and tried to ar
rest him there was likely to be some
gun play. It was then decided that
Gresher should be railed from the
house on some pretext, so the ranch
owner went In and Informed him
that there was something serious
the matter with his horse. Oresher
lost no time In grabbing his hat and
rushing out, but as he stepped out
of the door he was confronted with
a large calibre Colts In the hands of
the sheriff. At the first command of
"hands up", he did not Immediately
obey, but the sheriff took careful aim
and said In a tone not to be mistak
en, "Either put your hands up or I
will put your 'light' out." , That end
ed the argument and the officer took
his man Into town. In relating the
Incident to the court, Gresher re
marked that he "did not have a fair
chance as he had no gun on him at
the time."
It is reported that he broke Into a
ranch house while on his way west
and took a Winchester rifle and some
other articles. Later he was thrown
from the horse, and the gun stock
was broken In the fall, but Gresher
fixed that by cutting a new one from
a fence post. Sheriff Cox has the
gun In his possession.
Gresher further testified that his
eleven-year-old brother trhew a
knife at him upon an occasion of a
quarrel and that he "carried a gun"
for him for two years afterward. An
other fact brought out was thHt his
eleven-year-old brother threw a
knife at him upon an occasion of a
quarrel and that he "carried a gun'
for him for two years afterward. An
other fact brought out was that his
Intention at the time of stealing the
horse from Mr. Thelan was to go to
Montana and work until he "knew
the ropes" and then steal a bunch of
cattle, take them over the Canadian
border and sell them.
There Is some douht as to Gresh
er's age. He testified that he was
eighteen, but those who have seen
him claim that he looks and acts like
a man in his twenties. The age
question will have considerable bear
ing on the outcome of the case, as
there 1b some speculation as to
whether he will land In the peniten
tiary or In the reformatory. He ap
pears to have an almost insane desire
to kill somebody, and it is thought
he should be given a stiff enough
sentence so that he will be kept out
of temptation for some time to come.
gate and declared that the deposit
was of commercial Importance.
To those who are unfamiliar with
the uses of potash, we wlH state that
It Is used profusely In the manufac
ture of snaps and the different wash
ing powders, so when you figure
what amount Is put Into a cake of
soap or a package or wasning pow
der, and what Is paid for It, It Is
readily seen that the new field Is
worth many thousands of dollars.
Omaha capitalists and soap manu
facturers have become Interested In
the project, and several buildings
will be erected on the field and near
the railroad spur to facilitate the
transportation of the product to the
refineries.
The work Is being pushed as fast
as possible, and It Is probable that
the mineral will start to Omaha In
train loads on or about June 1.
The construction work and super-
Intending Is In charge of Mr. Modi
sett and J. H. Snow, who Is also In
terested In the project. The pro
moters have not yet been able to de
termine the value: of the land to
their own satisfaction, but they are
of the opinion that It will yield
enough to make it a paying propos
ition. They now have eight claims
and several leased tracts on which
to operate.

March, 1888, when he located four

ranch near Bingham, where he liv
ed until 1901, at which time he mov
ed to Colorado, living one year at
Loveland, moving from there to Den
ver, where he resided until his
death.
At an early age he united with the
United Presbyterian church at Col

Citizens Turned Out and Co-Operat
ctl IUiiIt Are Highly
Satisfactory
To state that Cleanup and Paint
up Week was a success is putting It
mildly, even if the weather man did
step in at the last chapter and damp
en everything considerably.
It seemed as though everybody
turned out during the week law
yers, merchants, boys and girls, and
women all endeavoring to do their
share to assist In making the affair
one long to be remembered. Wagon
load after wagon load of trash was
hauled out of town, and, by the way,
It took several wagon loads before
any appreciable difference could be
noted. Residences and business
houses all "suffered" alike, by being
cleaned from top to bottom and
front to back, and the amount of
rubbish found was simply a "sight".
The people didn't stop at cleaning
their yards they went right ahead
and removed old fences, painted old
buildings, and new ones, too, for
that matter. Furthermore, they set
out trees, shrubbery, flowers, and re
planted their lawns where they need
ed It. The dead trees and shrubbery
were removed to make place for the
new ones.
In the down-town alleys the Im
provement Is perhaps most noticea
ble, owing to their former bad con
dition. Most of these have been
cleaned.
A small number of property own
ers did not observe the occasion, and
those arp dealt with according to the
ordinance. Several of the business
houses were repainted, but not as
many as there should have been.
The city Jumped right in with the
others by cleaning the city property,
and by repainting the cluster light
poles and garbage cans.
The rain of the latter part of the
week put a stop to the cleaning and
painting work for a short time, but
as soon as the rain ceased, the work
started again, and continued over
until the middle of this week.
A number of bad places over town
have been fixed In good shape, which
will cause a decrease in the usual
number of Insects found here in the
summer time.
A NEW INDUSTRY
Potash IUtU Short lHfttaiue from Al
liaiM-e Estimated mm Worth
l. VMM) an Acre
An industry which may mean
much to the future' of Alliance and
surrounding country in a financial
way is the opening of what is estl
mated to be one of the richest potash
fields in the west, the field being lo
cated about eleven miles east of Al
liance, near the little town of Anti
och. 1100 feet of track will be
built by the Burlington on the north
side of the main line. 3 3-4 miles
west of Ant loch for the use of the
potash fields which line three miles
north. The grading for this piece of
road will be done by May 12, two
days being required in which to do
the track laying.
It seems that a young man named
Carl Modiaett made a mineral filing
several years ago on a piece of land
which had been bomesteaded. He
got k small part Included In the min
eral filing, but failed to keep posses
sion of it owing to some slight tech
mcality being overlooked. It was
found that this small tract, and a
large acreage around it, was rich in
potash deposits, and another effort
is now being made to regain this
land, together with several surround
ing tracts. A short time ago a gov
eminent expert came here to investl
