/ LARCENY. Officer Qneener last Saturda!
evening arrested one James Logan, o.
complaint of Alb. Taylor, to the effect tha
said Logan had taken a liking to Taylor
coat and had conf1scated it. Logan ap
peared in Court on Monday and the charg
was read to him. Messrs. Montanye {
Humphrey appeared for the prosecution
and Logan, not having the where with t.
procure the luxury Of having some one t.
| speak for him, he was forced to s'go
alone.' The FIRST witness was A. Hartman
the evening that the coat was taken; asked
Logan if he had taken the coat; Logan saiC
he did not know where it was, bat after
wards said that he took the coat and ihit
it under the sidewalk, to play a joke Oh tilt
bartender. The other witnesses testimony
| amounted to about the same as that of Har
mans. Logan had no witness to testif,
for him, he being like a poor boy at ;
frolic, had 'snot n word to say.'' Hi:
Honor, Lord. Baker, placed him under
bonds of $3.50, to await the action of the
Grand Jury, and owing to the failure OF
that amount of gold notes on hand, and
was compelled to go to Jail. He went ul-
der protest, saying that the American peo-
pie were frauds, and did not know how to
appreciate good joke.

He was armed with a big club and defied
anyone to take him. It is high time that
