SPRING FLOODS ARE SURE
County Board Should Place Bridges In
Safe Condition
Chas. (2ri;wo!d, cle& of Ihe dis-
trict court and former member of
the boai*i? of county conriiissioner*.
predicts several floods this spring for
the Cimarron and Col'.on wood. 11%
bases his prediction on the unusually
large amount of snow that has fallen
in tlu1 mountain eouutry the pnsi win-
ter.
In this conn ction he also a drives
the county commissioners lo g"t busy
early and see that tuc county bridges
are in condition to withstand the al-
most certain strain that will be put
upon them by the floods from tho
mountains. N'early every spring the
county loses hundreds of dollars by
reason of these floods damaging the
bridges, and the reason as a general
rule, is invariably oil account of th«
approaches or abutments being In bail
condition and not sufficient1* secure
lo withstand the great strain put up-
on them by the sud.leu rush of water.
A little precaution used along the tine
suggested by C.riswold would prevent
it and save the county much money,
and the people a greal deal of incon-
venience.

MURPHY IN SHERLOCK
HOLMES ROLE.
In October of last year the Jones
X Conipanv general merchandise
tore, of perkins, was burglarized and
a quantity of goods stolen among Ihe
articles, several bolts of fine silks.
Xo trace of the thieves could be found
y the Lincoln county ofllcers at the
time. In the following mouth, the
same thieves burglarized the 'Seward
general merchandise store and got
away with the good&, but were later
captured by Sheriff Hart .Murphy anfl;
subsequently tried and sentenced to
three years in the state penitentiary
by Judge Huston. The two thieves,
Kd Rlaok and floorge Readus. con-
fessed to Murphy, after they wove
convicted, that they hnd also assist-
ed in robbing the Perkins store, but
they would not divulge the names of
their confederates.
Ever since that time Mitrphv has
horn carrying samples of the silk stol-
en from the Perkins store, to the end
that some time tliv nilirht aid him «u
tracing other members of the gang.
Yesterday tho long looked for clue
materialized. A negro woman, one
of the witnesses in the "Rig Roy"
Levy case had on her glad rags and
among them was a skirt made from
part of the silk stolen from tho Per-
kins store last year The pattern
was a peculiar tri-colored affair ani
Murphy "pined" it as soou as tlie
woman camo into the room.
She finally confessed where the sill:
camo from and gave the sheriff
enough information lo bind Hie rest
of the robber gang.
