THE NEWS IN THE BLUFFS , A Bold Daylight Burglary in. the Center of the City. DOINGS IN DISTRICT COURT. A Mistake In n Telegram Trn < 1n ton Hull Kcslfjnnt Ion of .Secretary Curtis or the V. M. O. A. Tlio City Council. | A Hold Yesterday noon a bold bit of burglary was accomplished at the ticket olllco of the Chicago , Burlington & Quincy , cor ner of Broadway and Pearl streets. Tlio ticket agent , Captain O. M. Brown , shortly after 1'J o'clock left for dinner. General Agent M. M. Marshall was in the olllco at the time , talking with some gentlemen on business , and Captain Brown ! -et a chair against the side door in such a way as to make it difllcult to open without using some force. Ho handed Mr. Marshall the key to the front door , so that , when ho got ready to leave he might lock up. About half an hour later Mr. Marshall locked the door and slopped across the street to get shaved at the Pacific house. Ho left his overcoat in the ticket ollleo lie was not gone more than fifteen min utes. On his return ho had discovered that some thief had , forced open the side door and taken the overcoat , which was valued at $50. A case containing tickets was overturned and somewhat disar ranged. It is not known whether any tickets were taken , and it will bo neces sary to check all up before this can bo abccrtained. Jt is supposed that FOIIIO thief chanced to see the insecure way in which the door was fastened and con cluded to improve the opportunity. Mr. Marshall's brief absence gave little time for extended plundering. It is strange that such a theft could be committed in M prominent a place , and with the in terior of the olllco in full view of many passers-by , but these very peculiarities of the situation would allay suspicion in the minds of mo-it people , even if they saw the man entering or coming out.

Insure with Wadsworth , Etnyro & Co. - A Costly Mistake. Yesterday Judge Loofbourow listened to arguments in the case of 'L , T. Lind- scy against the Western Union Tele graph company. The cause of the suit was a mistake made in the transmission of a telegram. Mr. Lindsey was on the road looking after his wholesale cus tomers , and he sent a message to have his trunks of samples sent to Salida , Col. By some mistake of the operator the telegram read , "Salt Lake" instead and thither the trunks were. sent. Mr. Lindsoy was greatly puz/qed at the non- arrival of his samples , and while waiting - ing for them lost much time at a season" when time was especially valuable to him. Ho was also at considerable cx- pcnso while hunting up the missing trunks. To cover this ho commenced this suit. The telegraph company did not deny the facts , but as a defense claimed that the company was not re sponsible. It fell back upon the printed contract at the head of the blanks on which messages are written , and which binds the. sender to bear the responsi bility of mistakes. If the sender wants to hold the company for such mistakes ho must have the message repeated back and pay the extra charges. The controversy is , therefore , one of law rather than of facts. Judge Louf- bourpw has taken the question under consideration. Don't Freeze Up ! Wo are bound to close out our largo line overcoatings. Will make them up at greatly reduced figures.

A. of this city which the readers of the BUB , who have been associated with that organization , will learn with regret. Harry Curtis has tendered his resigna tion as secretary of the association to take effect on the 12th of December , ant it has been accepted. This move has been made , though reluctantly , tha' Mr. Curtis might accept the position o general secretary of the association a St. Joseph , Aid. Mr. Curtis has boon connected with the work in this city nearly four years. During this time the order has grown in numbers from twenty to about three hundred and seventy am in interest from the most indifferent tea a body of workers whoso efforts for goo/ are known anl appreciated at homo am abroad. Its active work Is known to the people of the city and need not bo ro- pcntcd hero. Much credit is duo Mr. Curtis , for this suoecss is largely the result of his infatigablo work and his ability as an organizer. Ho will probably bo succeeded by Mr. C. W. Janes , of GrinnoH , la. , a man well qualified by education and experience to fill the position. The field to which Mr. Curtis goes is one of the largest in the United States. It ranks fifth In Its membership , build ings and work. The people of the city will unite in the heartiest wishes for the success of Mr. Curtis in his now field of labor , and at the same time oxfond to his successor the same cordial bupport which has marked their record during the ptibt four years.

Those , who saw Chief Mullen , of the police force , tumble down on Broadway might have thought he was drunk , if it was not known that " . .Jerry" is a tee totaler. Tlio fact is that the chief had so merry a , lime at the policeman's an nual ball , and danced so much , that his numerous gildings aero-s the floor made the soles of his shoes glossy. In pawing along Broadway ho struck the combina tion of an icy pavement and an old banana skin , and when became down ho struck with such force as to leave n record on his check bone. Ho was pretty badly shaken up , but is now able to be on duty again. Such might have been the cause of the reports circulated that the chief was hurt in a wrestle with Johnnie Barleycorn. MnvorGrovo- wcg says that he has not heard any such reports , and that ho does not be lieve them , for ho had seen the chief daily , and was certain Jerry was as tem perate as ever.
