H. H, WEDEL'S DEPARTMENT STORE
STORES BURGLARIZED.
POUR BUSINESS PLACES EN-
TERED FRIDAY NIGHT.
Little Booty Secured by the Thlevea.
Indications Show tne Joba
to Have Been Done by
Amateura.
The Kirkwood Lumber Company
office, the Express office, H. H. Wedel's
store and the Dixie store were entered
by burglars some time Friday night or
Saturday morning, but owing to the
failure to get the safes open very little
booty was secured.
The Kirkwood office desk and money
drawer was forced open and ran-
sacked, but nothing of value was found.
A crow-bar was secured in the office
which was used in forcing the doors of
the other places.
The depot ticket case, money drawer
and express desk were forced and a
package containing a watch billed to
Mr. Wise, the photographer, was taken.
Only a few pennies were in the money
drawer and these were left. Several
packages in the express toom were
broken open, but nothing further is
known to have been taken.
The Dixie store was opened from the
rear and some change taken from the
money drawer. An attempt was made
to force the safe, but failed. The dial
knob was pulled out and the handle
broken off, but the job was the work
of amataurs who had not sufficient
knowledge, apparently, to finish the
work of getting inside.
The safe in the Wedel store was sim-
ilarly treated, and with negative re-
sults. Just above the dial on this safe
the combination was written in pencil,
but if it was noticed the thieves failed
to work it properly.
In the Dixie safe there was $65 and
about $40 in the Wedel safe.
The safes showed that a triangle, a
burglar's tool for pulling knobs by
means of set screws, had been used
and a search resulted in finding this
instrument, with wrenches, the crow-
bar, etc., near the barn back of the
Shaw lot on Main street. With this
clue Deputy Sheriff W. Z. Smith took
the trail. He found a blacksmith at
at Hobart who claims to have made
the triangle for a person called
"Humpy" Wartman a well-known
Hobart character with a police record
who had been staying here for some
time. He had no visible means of sup-
port and was credited with being a
gambler.
With this evidence Sheriff Daniels
came down from Hobart and arrested
"Humpy." Later Guy Huber, who
had been associated rather closely
with "Humpy," was taken in custody
as an accomplice. Both profess to be
innocent and deny all knowledge of the
crime or connection with the tools.

DELLINGER BROS. & CO.
File of unknown origin destroyed the
half block of frame buildings on South
Main street early Friday morniug
The alarm was turned in shortly after
1:00 o'clock and at that time the flames
had encompassed practically the entire
row. Some few things were saved
from the building occupied by Mrs. N
A. Shaw as a millinery store, but
nothing from the other occupied build-
ings.
The department soon had three
streams playing on the fire, but as
there was nothing to save the flames
were checked ouly sufficiently to pro-
tect the buildings to the north and east
and the debris was permitted to burn
until daylight when a rising wind made
it necessary to drown out what was
left of the blaze.
The old Drexel hotel, owned by J.
Doggett of Mt. Hood, Ore., was not
occupied. Its value was possibly $750
and there was insurance on it to the
amount of $300.
Joining it on the north was the Barr
building of about $1,000 value. It was
occupied by J. M. Huber as a carpen-
ter shop. There was $600 insurance on
the building, but Mr. Huber had none
on his tools or stock.
The Coulter building was occupied
by a pool hall and bowling alley. The
value of this building and contents was
probably $2,000 and was insured for
$1,200.
Mrs. N. A. Shaw owned the last
building in the row which she occupied
with her millinery store and furnished
rooms. Her loss was probably $2,000
and was covered by $1,400 insurance.

| Oklahoma City, March 28. —Further
hearing on the 'requisition for Jim
Brennan of Gotebo, wanted in Stevens
county, Kansas, for the murcfer of
Judge Sam Wood on June 23,1891,
was continued until Friday by Gov
ernor Cruce after arguments had been
made Monday by W. I. Gilbert of this
city for Brennan and by State Senator
Henry E. Gatse of Emporia, Kan., in
favor of granting the requisition.
Two points were raised by Gilbert,
the first that Brennan was not a fugi-
tive from justice, since he had once
been arrested and the case against him
dismissed, and the other that the case
against Brennan had been coutinned
for three terms of court without his
consent, and that under the Kansas
law the case therefore had to be dis-
missed aud further prosecution was
barred.
On the first point Governor Cruce
ruled against Brennan, holding that in
such a case the prosecution misfht be
revived whenever new evidence was
discovered. On the other point
question of fact was raised. Senator
(Jans agreed that if the facts were as
stated by Gilbert he would not ask for
the granting of the requisition, and it
was to obtain the information on that
point that the continuance was granted.
Gause agreed to produce a certified
copy of the court records, but Gilbert
intimated that the records might not
tell the truth and wanted to produce
witnesses as to the record. He had in
waiting Frank Rogers of Gotebo, who
was clerk of the district court of Ste
vens county at the time, and Charles
Fisher, now a bank cashier at Gotebo,
who was Rogers' deputy. Governor
Cruce held that the records would
govern unless evidence was produced
to impeach ihem. Gatse accordingly
sent for a copy of the records, and
Rogers also started for Stevens county
at once to examine the original records,
so as to be able to testify here in re-
gard to their authenticity.
W. D. Wood of Chase county, a
brother of the murdered man, and D.
W. Wood, bis grandson, are pushing
the prosecution. It is agreed that when
Brennan's case was called, out of the
entire legal venire of the county only
nine jurors could be found who had
not formed an opinion, and that the
case was dismissed by the attorney
general without prejudice on that ac-
count. The existence of the same con-
dition has been responsible for the
failure to renew the prosecution since
that time. The point on which the
extradition will turn is the question of
how many terms of court elapsed be-
tween the time when Brennan was ar-
rested and his release.

KNOCKS OUT MIKE SCHRECK
IN SIXTH ROUND.
W. W. Rork has called the attention
of the agricultural editor to the fact
that alfalfa makes the most delicious
greens. He was the guest of Mr. and
Mrs. L. A. Minton Sunday and alfalfa
greens formed a part of the fine dinner
served.
Carl Morris, the Frlace Engineer,

Heavyweight Who Could Not
Rssch Hla Big Opponent^
Sapulpa, Okla., March 28.-A right
hook to the face after one minute and
two seconds of the sixth round had
been ticked off, Mike Schreck, of Cin-
cinnati, O., down for the count and
Carl Morris of Sapulpa, Okla., touted
by his friends as the only "white hope,"
had won his sixth consecutive engage-
ment, none of which ever passed six
rounds.
With the betting standing all day at
as good as 5 to 1 on Morris to win and
even that Schreck would not last five
rounds, and few takers, the result was
not unexpected. A few small bets were
made, but none large enough to be
noticed and these werfe on the length
of time it would take Morris to knock
out his opponent.

Cheapness Is as Cheapness Does
In figuring the cheapness of paint, three things must
be taken into consideration:
FIRST—The cost.
SECOND—Amount of surface a gallon will cover.
THIRD—Wearing quality.
It costs you just the same to apply cheap paint which lasts a year or
two, as it does to use Sherwin-Williams Paiut which lasts five to ten
yean.
We guarantee the Sherwin-Williams Paint will outlast and look bet-
ter, alao be cheaper in the end than any other make on the market.
