SoYG AND DANCE MAN IN TRoUBLE.-A
few days ago John Kennedy was arrested
by officer Rider for stealing a coat from 5.
S. Nathan e. Co.'S, and, as he was wearing
the garment when taken in charge, the evil
dence against him may be considered pretty
positive. He is song and dance " artist, -
and came here recently from the lower
country to fill an engagement in a free con-
cert saloon. Chief Jackson has received
from Deputy Sheriff of Modesto descrip-
ton of 4 man wanted there for burglary,
committed last August 1t was not a sue
cessful enterprise, as the burglar was de-
tected in the act, but got away by jumping
through window, cutting his hand by
contact with the glass. The description fits
Kennedy exactly, even to a scar on the
hand, and the party wanted is also a song
and dance man. Kennedy declares that he
can prove an abb as regards the burglary,
alleging that he was playing at the Adelphi
rheater in Fresno when it was committed
The scar on his hand he accounts for by
saying that he was thrown from buggy
some time ago, and when he alighted his
hand was cut by piece of beer glass. An
officer will come up from Modesto TO see
whether he is the individual wanted
