PART w,

Policeman Homer Smith, observed
two men rolling a barrel of -four on
the side walk, not far from the Mason
warehouse, about five o'clock Monday
morning. He investigated the mat
ter apd discovered the men to be F.
Ball and G. O'Brien. They said that
some parties were rolling the barrel
away, and they had taken charge of
it. The two men then left the bar
rel. Officer Smith returned to the
police station, near by, remained a
few minutes and then started out to
see if the -four was all right. He
discovered the same two men near the
barrel, but on his approach they again
left the flour. The officer now kept
watch on the barrel until team came
along, when the -four was taken to
the station house. He then reported
the circumstances to the marshal.
When morning came it was discovered
that the Mason warehouse had been
broken into and a quantity of pork,
beef, -four, tobacco, tea, clothes, etc.,
taken therefrom. The police depart
ment set to work and in various parts
of the engine house were found hid
den, tea, tobacco and clothing. In
O'Brien's shed was found pork and
-four. The Investigations resulted in
arrest of F. Ball, G. O'Brien, S. Car
ter and c. Masters on charge of TAX
ing the merchandise. In s. Carter's
house were also found some pork said
to be part of the missing goods.
The suspected parties were arraign-
ed before Police Justice D'Aigle,
yesterday forenoon, and their exam
ination takes place at the police
court to-day. The following is list
of the goods the men are accused of
taking: Two barrels of -four, one
barrel Of pork, one barrel of beef,
one chest of tea, five knit jackets, one
coat, one undershirt, one pair drawers,
six chopping jackets, one woolen over
shirt and % lbs of plug chewing to-
bacco.
Officer Smith and the police de-
partment deserve much credit for the
efficient manner in which they dis
covered the theft and made the neces-
sary arrests.

When the Golden Eagle came to
port last Sunday evening, there was
a thin covering of ice on most of the
rivers surface, and if about one dozen
mothers in this city could have seen
their little boys playing OH that dan

experienced considerable discomfort.
1t is a pity that there was not some
one present who had power to make
the little boys seek some safer place
to play on. Below the bridge were
many places that were free from ice,
and the said boys appeared to delight
in seeing how close they could go to
the edge of the ice.
