An Extensive Robbery.

Night before last Mrs. Jeffries, boarding at
the Brunswick Hotel, found some thief had
been in her room during her absence, and
had stolen her watch, chain and ring. The
watch was valued at $50, the chain at SEQ.
and the ring at SIS. The matter was
kept very quiet, but last evening the police
arrested Ira Miles for the theft, aud
locked him up at the station-houss. Miles
is sO0ut thirty-two years of age and has been
temporarily employed at the hotel. He had
borrowed the key TO Mrs, Jeffries' room of
the chambermsid and thus secured an en-
trance. After taking the property he went
to Christ. Harmenlng. on West Washington
street, where he paWRed the watch for S4.
He also wanted to pawn the chain, but Mr..
Harmening thought it was brass and de.
clined to take 70 in that wsY. bat 6nally gave
Miles three drinks for il. Miles is one of the
boys who can not stand prosperity, and he
soon became laxative, which caused Mr..
Hsrmening 10 suspect that ali was not right
and he informed the police. Last night al
o'clock Miles wac arrested at the zoo, a.
above stated. He had slso disposed of the
ring, but claimed he did not know who go
IL It will be found to-day in all probability
HaImening had gwen the chain to a Vim
cennes road freight engineer, believing j
was worthless. He gave the watch yer Il
the officers, and will to-day secure the return
of the chain.
