held that the prisoner must be remanded
under law, but he would grant stay so
that the case might be taken before the Su-

DEPUTY SHERIFF JOE MOSES is indignant
over the report that some sneak thief stole
his watch. The facts of the matter in the
case are these: Mr. Moses loaned his watch
and chain to two of his friends, who were
reporters, to look at the little compass that
was made present to him. After they
got through one of them placed his own
watch on Mr.. Moses chain and put it in
his pocket. Mr.. Moses paid no attention to
it, and when he went to see what time it
was, found his friends watch in his pocket
instead of his own. Mr.. Moses is not the
kind of an officer who would let a thief
steal ANYTHING from him
