The Intalligencsr mentioned, last week, |
that the store Of MIR. N. f.. Keller had been
burgIarized on the previous Tuesday. an en-
trance having beer effected through the
cellar. A number Of coats. psntaloens aud
vests were taken. On last Monday afternoon
City Marshal Crowdsr and Policeman Thos.
j. John arrested Oscar Gates and Ike
Murphy. colored, charged In . warrant with
having committed the burglary. Murphy
lives some tive miles from town and Is said
to be pretty wall-to-do, having some live
stock and other property. He was arrested
patalOons were found, part OF Mr.. Keller's
STOCK, but which Murphy says he bought.
1t Is admitted. we believe that he purchased
one OF the vests. Oscar or Os., as he Is more
generally known, lives In town. Unluckliy
for him there were q number of new gar
ments-coats and pantaloons-and two now
caps, found on his promises. In addition to
this, q shoulder and ham which were iden-
tilted by Mr.. John Ksmpls, as having been
burglariousiy stolen from his smoke house,
last Saturday night. were also u there ;
and to add sorrow to his tribulation q wick
or covered bottle which disappeared from
Mir. G. A.. Dunkers, last May, in burglary,
seems also to be traced to him. The two
men were a%rraigned before Esquire Vim. T.
Tut, last Monday evening, pleaded net
guilty, and were required to give 5000 bail
tor their appearance for preliminary trial
Thursday morning at 10 O'Clock. Murphy
