isher hangs from the ceiling rs the centre
post of the store with the string dapglidg
back Of picture. Jack holds small bell
in each hand and ooh Quit" is printed ON

parties by false representations out of boa rd
and other things, Is again in trouble He
secured board from Louisa SchaeiIer 10y
telling her that he was working for an in
surance company and had lot of wages
coming to him. This was found TO be a
lie and woman had him arrested. He
had hearing before Alderman
McCononhy this morning, and was COM
mitted in default of bail for trial at court.
From the many times that Sanford has
been written up in the papers IL seems
strange that people should allow him to
catch them, but at Mrs Schaefier's he gave
his name as Sourbor. lie Is sleek young
rascal, but az soon as he gets out of one
scrape he runs around with an air of in
jurcd innocence for a time. lie is then
laying pipes to catch some one else, and
will always stand watching.
