Last Saturday Dave r. Bradshaw stepped
into the Eaton Cheap store, next to Post
office. where most oI the e ods exhibited
are lying loosely on the counters. L. Q
sight of the various fancy articles, it
seems, was too tempting for Bradshaw to
pass by unheeded, and in short time he
had expedited several articles from the
counters into his pockets forgetting, how
ever, TO notify the PROPRIETOR or any Of the
clerks of his actions, or paying r the
goods, Thus he repeated his visits about
half dozen times during the day. which
aroused the suspicion Of the proprietor.
In the evening, ut about o'clock. he en-
tered the store on his last visit. and upon
leaving the store he was followed bv Joseph
WOerner. the proprietor, who politely in.
vfted him to re-enter the store and pro-
duce what goods he had about his person,
and which he had taken dur.
ing the day and forgotten to pay for.
The boidness and audacity with which
he declared lie had purchased the goods
found on his person outdone anything ever
heard OF. He was arrested Immediately
after the discovery of the theft and taken
before Mayor Abbott, who sent him to Jail
in default of bail. He waived All examina-
ton before the Mayor yesterday afternoon
and pleaded guilty to the charge Of petit
larceny. and was sentenced to fifteen days
Imprisonment and fined $6 and costs.
