THIEF CApruRED.-One Marks, who
has been stopping at the lower end Of
town for the last few weeks, aud fire.
quenting the saloon Of Masterson Sc
Bish considerably, was detected day
before yesterday In the act Of stealing
six boxes Of cigars. The cigars were
kept In a small club-room at the rear
of the saloon, aud several boxes have
been missed from time to time.
Marks vas suspected, yet there was
no proof. Saturday evening five
more boxes were missed, and a
little closer watch was kept. About
2 o'clock p. NJ. Marks was seen slip
ping out of the club room and out
through the rear door Of the saloon,
evidently with something under his
coat. He was followed to the cellar
beneath the saloon, where he was
found with six boxes Of cigars all tied
up In a bit of cloth ready to carry them
home to his lodgings. He was seen
carving a similar package thith-
er in the forenoon, doubtless the
five boxes then missed, making
eleven boxes In all, containing about
800 cigars. He was doing a regular
land office business at it, and realizing
good profits from the sale of cigars.
Marks was taken to the calaboose, and
this morning Justice Putnam fined
him 5000 and costs of Court, In default
Of which he was sent to the County
Jail.
