Several weeks ago, Jas. F. Hatten, OF Ar

breakfast, and-didn't cut Ter. The night
before, the said smokehouse contained seven
sides, five hams, and several shoulders, ana
to saw that Jim was surprised at its empti-
ness on the morning in question, is to state
the case truthfully and mildly. After his
amazement subsidized, he set to work to ma
out the whyness of the matter, and, after
good deal of rather neat detective WORK, nn-
ally caught on to the parties who he thought
had spirited away his meat. Sheriff WHIT
worth was then called in to assist, and last
Saturday morning he arrested Sam. Frizzeil,
a white man, and "coon" yclept Frank
Simpson, The latter acknowledges the corn,
while Frizzell is discreetly silent. The meat
has not vet been recovered, and the SUPPOSE
ton is that it has gone the way of all meats in
the presence of hungry people. The pris-
oners we're put in jail to await preliminary
examination before Judge Dinger, which
will be gwen them next Monday.
