THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1902. THIEVES STEAL* HORSE AND BUGGY tom AM) DICK JACKSON AND HARRY SHELL. THREE OF THE YOt XGKST CRIMINALS ON RECORD. Tom and Dick Jackson and Harry Shell are three of the bold est and most youthful criminals on record in the annals of crime in this county. Saturday after noon Jack Merritt rode a horse, tiie property of Mr. J. E. Crawley, to the city from Milner and tied it to a hitching post. These three little negroes stole the horse, got a buggy belonging to Mr. Car michael, of Jackson, and pro ceeded to ride to their hearts content. They were absent all Saturday night and Sunday. It is suppos ed that they rode all night and next day, as they were seen driving around the town Saturday after ternoon and it has been ascertain ed that they were seen at places several miles from town next day. They brought the buggy back Sunday, after having carried all their colored friends to ride and unhitched the horse, replaced the saddle on him and turned him loose or rode him out into the country several miles where he was found by a negro man and taken in charge. Bailiff Garlington and others began working on the case and succeeded in locating the horse Monday afternoon, somewhat worse for wear. These young thieves are very small pieces of humanity and appear to be about 12 or 18 years old, although they may be a good deal older —at any rate they give promise of being thorough-bred rogues and should he dealt with as the law prescribes.

Max field of the Signal Corps, who for six months has been in Alaska, says the Washington Post. In the early spring Capt. Maxfield left Valdez and traveled about 300 miles to the north for the pur pose of looking over the ground and outlining the work to be per formed by the Signal Corps dur ing the summer. Then, with but a single Indian guide for a com panion, the captain started back by boat, and endured terrible pri vations and suffering before he finally returned. A few days ago the War Department received a telegram, stating that Capt. Max field was beset with the hallucina tion that there was a conspiracy directed against his life, and it was suggested that the officer should be returned to the United States as soon as possible. Orders were sent forward from the War Department directing Capt. Max field to return to his home to re cuperate frbm what, it is hoped, is only, a temporary lapse of his mental faculties. The Signal Corps lias not enough officers for its work in Alaska, and the loss of Capt. Maxfield is much regret ted . An Announcement.
