pairs Of bracelets, Sc opera chains, 20 vest
chains, 60 amethyst ringe, and $50 other rings,

scription Of the thief accords with that of 3
wel-known "hote1 sneak" and efforts arc
making to secure his arrest. He probably went

police authorities of that city will not allow him
to return to Chicago. The name he registered
