BLOOD ON HIS FINGERS.
Strong Circumstantial Evidence
Against Il Duluth Prisoner.

Special to the Globe.
DULUTH, March S.-Officer Briggs, of
the night patrol, saw a man lodging
from the alley in the rear of Burling-
games store about o'clock this morn
ing and called to him to halt. The
stranger, instead of obeying, acceler-
ated his gait. The officer wore a heavy
fur overcoat and, not making much of a
success of the pursuit, called that he
would shoot unless the man stopped.
Still no attention was paid to his calls.
Fortunately for the officer the man fell
on the icy pavement, and he was soon
in durance vile. In his pocket was
found large quantity of small silver,
and his fingers were covered with blood.
The barkeeper at Jay w. AnderSon's
place of business on opening for business
this morning found all the small silver
taken from the money drawer and
marks of blood covered the wooden bot
tom of the drawer. Glass had been
broken in one of the windows, and the
thief cut his fingers afterward, leaving
the tell-tale marks in the drawer.
A number of small burglarieS have
been committed lately, and Chief Doran
is congratulating himself he has caught
the sneak thief.
