'William Young, who is not quite so
yonng as to be free from sin, and who is
also not so dark that he might not be
darker, is in jail.
He stole chickens, and the man he stole
them from tried to bny them back, with
out knowing that it was his own prop
erty be was dickering for.
But it was. William entered the house
of Mr. E. B. Davis, who lives on Academy
street, yesterday afternoon between one
and two o'clock, and while the family
were at dinner, levied on two Dominica
pullets that Mr. Davis intended to help
masticate at dinner time to-day.
Mr. Davis soon discovered that his
Dominica's were non est inventus, and he

duatr nrecincts of Haywood street. Wil-
2iam saw him coming from afar off, and
lie broke into a run that loosened the
cobble-stones in the pavement from their
place.
Mr. Davis is something of an old time
runner himself, and it was not long be

CiltCAno, April 8. A dispatch from Ar
kansas Citv. Kan., savs: "The ohVials
of the Santa Fe railroad were busy yes
terday, investigating the story that the
iMiomers concealed in tlie woods ot Ukln-
homa had banded together for the pur
pose of destroying the railroad bridges,
on the night of April 21, in order to ob
struct the influx of homesteaders until
the men concealed in the country could
make r(ect their claims. It appears
that the boomers in hiding are desperate.
They have selected and watched their
claims for years, arid thev now fear that
the new comers, with the assistance ol
rapid transit, may get the, best of them.
there was a meeting ot tnese ooomcrs
held in the timber," near Oklahoma City,
last Thursday, and they canvassed the
situation. Alter the meeting adjourned,
the Santa Fe agent received notice that
the bridges would 1 burned, and the
trains stopiied on April 22, as the old
boomers did not propese to jeopardize
their chances by allowing a flood of tcu
derfeet to drop on the land they had
picked out. Detectives have been sent
along the line through the country, and
every precaution will tie taken to prevent
railway obstruction,. There are twice as
many people now on the borders as can
be accommodated, under the homestead
act, in Oklahoma. Many of them repre
sent colonies, and are here astheadvance
agents. There will be men here repre
senting colonies from Washington, Cali
fornia, I'tah, Colorado, Nebraska, Iowa,
Illinois, Indiana, W isconsin and Ala
bama. The colonies number from twenty
to five hundred persons, Last evening
twenty empty passenger coaches pulled
into tins city, on the Santa Fe, attached
to the regular freight train, and were run
into the yards, to await the 22nd. A
railroader said that the Santa Fe had
four hundred cars alreadv engaged by

Chicago, April 8. The politicians of
the city were astonished this afternoon
bv the announcement that if t had been
discovered that the election in this city
was illegal, and that it was in the power
of any citizen to overthrow it. The state
of affairs grows out of a derision ren
dered by the supreme court of the State
since tlie election was held. This decision
was to the effect that the town of
Brighton Park und other jxirtions of the
township of Cicero had Ihx'ii, by a vote
of the people, on "November 1, 187, le
gally annexed to the townships of; South
and West Chicago, Previous to tlie an
nexation the townships of South and
West Chicago were entirely included
within the limits of the. city of Chicago.
While the decision of the court annexed
the new territory of the town
ship, it did not oiierate to make
it a. part of the city, tlie power
to extend the limits of which rests with
the city council. Therein lies all of the
trouble. The general law of the State
provides that whenever all of a township
lies within the limits of a citv the city
ekvtion shall lie held on the first Tuesday
after the first Monday in April, nnd that
whenever tlie township is not all included
within the city limits the election shall
be held on the third Tuesday in April.
Under the decision of the supreme court,
the city of Chicago docs not entirely
cover the townships of South and West
Chicago and therefore theclcclion instead
of being held on the first Tuesday in
April, as it was, should have been held
on the third Tuesday. Moreover, the
law rccpiires that twenty days notice ot
nn election should be given, and as the
time, is too short lietwccn this jute and
the third Tuesday in April for legal no
tice, it seems questionable whether the
mistake can lie rectified by a new election
on that date. Wide fields of sieculation
are oeiied as to the possibility of a re
vision of the verdict ol the people in the
recent political "land slide" when the
Republicans were defeated by the Demo
crats by decisive majorities. It is churned
that the present Republican administra
tion is willing to make the law,. It can
hold over and prevent newly elected Dem
ocrats from taking their scats. It issaid
tluit mayor Roche lias consulted the cor
poration council in regard to the matter.
nit it cannot lie learned Vhat action
will lie taken, or whether a decision has
lieen reached.
Mlttim Hull Hntlnfled.
Chicago, April 8. A despatch from
Bismarck, Dak., savs: The report that
the commission would soon beappointetl
bv the President to confer With the lu
ilians for the oiwtiiiig ol the Great Sioux
Kescrvntion, is received with much1 inter
est among the Indians at Standing KiM'k

Indians are pleased with the action 01
the government in increasing the price to
De paid them from 50 cents per acre to
jl .25, nnd many of tliem have expressed
their willingness to accept the terms of
the treaty, liven Sitting Hull and Gall,
who were so Intterly opposed to tlie
treaty submitted last year, have given
utterance to lriendl.v expressions and
there is little doubt of success among the
whites who visit the reservation. A re
cent arrival from the Standing Rock
Agency savs he is positive that Sitting
Bull and Gull will accept the treaty.
The Amount of Hit Mtealluictt.
Chicago, April 8. A dispatch from
Amokr, Minn., savs: Nothing further is
known of the whereabouts of the al
sconding cas'iicr Pratt. As near as Can
he learned now, the amount of hni stcal-
I is $3o,000 from Mrs. .Nell: $4,500
from St. Paul and Minneapolis corres
pondents of the bank; $25,000, raised
by the sale of his own and other iieople's
stock. New York and Chicago corres
pondents of the bank arc yet to be heard
Vom. Mrs. Nell, who is nearly eighty
years old, has always trusted Pratt as a
son, and left the management of her
affairs almost entirclv in his hands, She
can hardly believe that he has roblied
her, and attributes all his trouble to the
woman in the case.

The following clipping from the New

corner of Bishop, of the executors of the
estate for $:i0,000. He did not pay a

the Foster estate for this amount and
said he was going to cut the rear of tlie
estate into building lots, build upon them
with lumber which he had at Lake George
and would soon ship liere, improve the
homestead itself by many ndditions.and,
in fact, make it a beautiful place, lie
told Mr. Kobt. E. Mcrwin, the real es

transaction, tluit he had already built
about; sixty houses. ' Mr. Gilmore did go
so tar as to repaint and paper a large
part ol the interior of the house. Piatt

Mr. and Mrs. Gilmore lived in a few
rooms of the big house and told cullers
that they were wniting for furniture
which was stored at their country seat
at Lake George. Much comment has
been occasioned by this action of Mr. Gil
more, who was held as an ornament to
the city nnd much regret is ex pressed that
"Ivdinund Kirke" should have thus left
the city, It is said that he purchased the
estate in the hoie of realizing much from
a book upon which he had devoted much
time, but that the sale was but small
and lie was nearly bankrupt in publish
ing it. He nnd his wile went from here
to Lake George. Friends of Mr. Gil
more, however, rciiose much confidence
in his integrity and honesty anil believe
that as soon its he is able every dollar of
his indebtedness will be paid and all
debts discharged, and t.uit R man of such
literary ability and successful work in
the past will not have to wait long for
the wherewithal to satisfy his creditors.

The subject of the proposed Y. M.

the attention of our best citizens to a
much greater extent than when it was
first mentioned a few weeks ago. Lead

THE HICK0KV INN,
Mr, Frank Loughrun the new proprie
tor of the Hickory Inn came upfront that
live and progressive town last evening.
He told a Citizkn man that the olace
was 611 a boom and that the hotel was
thronged with guests. Nothing like the
crowd now there has been known since
the oiiening of the Jnn, and he seemed to
be in buoyant spirits, at the prospects of
a successful future in the conduct of his
new enterprise. An excellent bill of fare
which he handed the reporter thoroughly
demonstrates the fact, that a guest cart-
not well perish of starvation at the Inn.
It is a "dandy."

"I tell you," said assistant register of

April is much of a month for matrimony.
There are too many showers, and not a

of weeping April. Only one marriage li

that pair will 1 happy Thos. D. Mc

Mr. Joseph Lubinsky, of the firm of
Lubin-ky & Bertnan, of this city, returned

he had been married on Thursday to
Mist Marie Schlovitch, late of Russia.
Mr. Lubinsky fell in love with his bride
when she was only seven yean of age.

troth was plighted anew, and when Mr.
Lubinsky received a letter from his faith
ful fiancee stating that she would reach
New York on Thursday, he was promptly
on hand with a parson, and the happy
pair were spliced. There it a tinge of
romance attached to this union that
will make happiness all the more at
siired in the future lives of these long
separated, yet faithful lovers.
