The case was dismissed for want oil
sufficient evidence. .
The drivers on the city line OF street
cars have been greatly annoyedtor some
time past by the placing OF stones upon
the track in the neighborhood oil the
Public Square. The work is done by
bows, and, AS the drivers and police are
aware OF the names OF the boys who do
this kind Of business, it would he well
for parents living in that section oil
town to keep a lookout for their boys, or
they might possibly find them III the
lock up some morning.
On Saturday a warrant was issued Tor
the arrest OF one ;. |. Miller, a proml-
nent Jew merchant on Belmont street,
for arson. The issuing Of the warrant
Was instituted by Mrs. III. Miller, a sis
ter-in.law OF the said ;. /. Miller. On
Saturday afternoon ;. |. Miller was ar.
raigned for trial before his honor, Mayor
Criswell, and after a considerable
amount of time was spent in the case
he was allowed to give $500 Tor his ap-
pearance at court. These parties have
had a considerable amount OF dispute
by law for the past few years, and only
last Tuesday we reported a suit between
this woman, her husband and her
brother-in-law Tor the recovery OF bor-
rowed money by the two former from
the latter. How this will end we cannot
at this time make any conjectures, but
we are of the opinion some ugly things
will come to light, some having already
done so.
Mrs. Catharine Ault, an old lady
