companied BY his wife. He says he 10 .
sergeant in the Second cavalry of the army,
stationed at Fort Custer. He is out on q
two weeks furlouRh and expects his dis
charge on the 23d inst, his time -f service
being out upon that date.
Wilson got pretty we'll loaded with drink
Tuesday night. At least he went up to the
st. Louis hotel yesterday, and asked for 4
room that he might rest for two hours and
sleep off q drunk He was given the room.
The charge was fifty cents. He paid 25
cents in advance and said he would pay the
balance wheA he was awakened. After he
had been in the room about twenty minutes
the chamber paid saw him leave the room.
This surprised her as she was to call him
at the appointed time. She did not pay
very much attention to the matter then, but
about fifteen minutes later she went into
the room. The bed was relieved of all the
covering, sheets and all; the window our
tains were gone. also the towels and every
tuAuG 0loo snAt was easily portable. Inc
window was also thrown open, The
landisdy. Mrs. Punches. was notified
and it dawned upon her that her guest, who
said he wanted to sleep of drunk, had
stolen the bedolothes. The police were
notified, and getting description Of the
man Officer Finnegan found the man he
wanted upon the street. No sooner had
Wilson been locked up than Carl Klein
schmidt was running frantically all over
town searching for his fur overcoat, which
had been stolen q few minutes before. He
met officer Finnegan. who began search.
He found the coat in the Cosmopolitan
coat.room and Mr.. Kleinsohmidt reoog-
nized it as his. Finnegan then procured
the brass check necessary to get the coat,
aud found it among. his prisoners pos
sessions. Mr.. Kleinschmidt recovered his
coat, and meeting Marshal Cronin Compli-
mented him upon the efficiency OF his
police force.
Wilson claimed to know nothing about
the bedclothes or the coat. The bedclothes
were found in hall over Gamers shoe
atore. The prisoner is either laboring
under mental alteration or something else,
as he has been identified as the man who
engaged the room at the st. Louis.
