Noah Zane, County Assessor for the
country district, and candidate on the
Democratic county ticket for reelection
to that Office, is mourning the loss Of
about one hundred cold dollars, and in
order to get what little satisfaction he
can for his loss, and incidentally further
the ends of justice, he has sworn out
warrants for the arrest of "Bill" Clator,
Eek" Filan and "Doc" Wilson, and
fourth man, whose name has not been
made public for the reason that he has
not yet been arrested. The other three
were picked up last night and put in jail
to await a hearing. "
Noah drew $780, more or less, last
Monday, and started out, presumably to
do some electioneering. AT a compare
lively early hour in the evening he was
met by friend who, while he was un-
able to get him to quit and so to bed, in.
duCed him to hand over some of the
money for safe keeping. Noah retained
about one hundred, however, and con-
tinued to electioneer.
At late hour, it is supposed about
midnight, Noah met the distinguished
quartette above referred to, and pro-
Ceeded to do the handsome thing. After
several drinks had been taken ut Zane's
expense, some one proposed getting Il
hack and going out to see the town.
This caught Noah's fancy, and he being
the only candidate foroilice in the party,
it naturally devolved OIL him to put up
for the vehicle. Al that hour the only
places to be visited were the all night sa-
looms and the other aII night establish
mcnts.
Quite an extensive round was made,
and while on the excursion several
drinks were had, but nothing like one
hundred dollars worth.
However, along towards morning,
when the party returned to Rine's sta
bic, from which the carriage had been
hired, Zane found himself minus his
money. This sobered him up somewhat,
and realizing what he had been doing,
he naturally suspected the jolly crew he
had been putting in the time with OF
having touched" him. He accused
them OF doing so. One word followed
another, till suddenly Noah was made to
see stars by them or four well directed
blows that made his nose tingle and
head ache and artistically draped one
eye in mourning. While wondering
what had hit him, his convivial friends
disappeared.
Yesterday afternoon he appeared be-
fore Justice Arkle and swore out the
warrants, charging grand larceny. Two
OF the men were picked up on the streets,
third was found in a sporting house
and up to midnight the fourth had not
been overhauled. The arrests were
made by Constable Lauchlin and Police
Officers West and Shorts. The men
were taken before the justice as soon US
arrested, and in default OF $1,000 each,
were sent to Jail to await hearing Fri
day morning at 10 o'clock.
Late last night Filan managed to Sc
cure bail and was released from custody.
doc" Wilson is a newcomer here. The
police when asked about him said he
was ian all.arOund clever fellow" The
other two, Clator and Filan, with whom
he has associated considerably since his
arrival here, are both well known, and
the fourth man is said to be equally
