Rich ards, as sheriff, and A. J. BeeBon, as public prosecutor. The trial afforded much cause for mirth. The boy for stealing the loaf of bread was given 99 years In the pen, although he told a pitiful tale of how be came to be reduced to the condition of abject poverty. Ills father had been a Woodman In good standing, but let his policy lapse a week or so before tie died, leaving the widow arid chil dren to hoe their own row, and the boy was hungry and Just took the loaf. The Judge thought It was hard luck, but said he hadn't ought to stole It. The kidnaper was turned loose, as well as the fellow that got the $100, 000, the prosecutor came nearly be ing sent up for .10 days because he talked too much.

Pome excitement WB9 created on Main street shortly nfter 1 o'clock today when tho big blnck marcs be longing to William Trltsch and tho largo span of mules owned by Frank Barkening started olT with a load of coal. The mares were hitched In tho lead and the mules on tho wheel and were being driven south on Sixth Btroet east of tho Riley hotel, when In some manner tho driver got the lines on the leaders crossed and pulled them short around breaking the tongue out of tho wagon. Tho mares then galloped cast on Main street with the doubletree and a piece of wagon tongno attached, colliding cotfs Sons clothing store, broke the with the glass case In front of Wes glasa, ran Into the shed back of Gelso's saloon and stopped. The driver stopped the mules by turning them Into the curb In front of Frlcke's drug store. A broken wagon tongue and tho glass In the sign case was about all of tho damago done. Mr. C. C. Wescott thinks the ex citement over the reduced price sale may have caused the runaway, and he thinks the horses, even, were try ing to get In on the bargains, and barely ralBsed the door.
