JAIL.
Burt MARITIME was brought TO Ottawa this week
from Streator. He has been quite active, it Is
said, in petty thieying; but few days ago he
enlarged his operations, as the Free Press says.
y box of very valuable papers was missed from
COL Plumb's Office and the services OF Ed. Bale
were procured to hunt up the thief. He arrest
ed the MARITIME boy and took him to the Office,
where he made full confession and told where
the box might be found. 1t was tin box witha
lock, and when discovered it was found to have
.-.sA A... h.t L.
not known positively whether any of the papers
are missing or not, and this fact cannot be ascer
tanned until the Colonel returns.
