been questioned. II was Officer Eaton's

most cheeky thief on record last Friday

Virginia alley. with q suspicious pro.
tuberancs on tho weather side OF his

and returned TO the mouth Of the alley.
where he found a small cylinder stove
with the Goals inside still barnipg. He
emptied the fire into tho street. and a.
