j. p. Kelly, who was convicted of theft
and served term in the county jail some
time last summer, was examined by JUS
tice Booth this morning on charge OF
burglary committed at Thistle, August ID,
| 1890. The complaint is filed by John a.
Brown and alleges that Kelly entered the
tent of Mr.. Reynolds, merchant and ex-
tracted eleven pairs of overalls. The de-
PENDANT pleaded not guilty. The evidence
goes to show that Kelly was seen in the
tent the day prior to the burglary and was,
with one Boyer, the day afterward. trying
to dispose of the goods at the rate of about
twenty five cents a pair. The shoes he
wears measure the same as the tracks the
burglar left behind him. Boyer states that
he was selling the overalls at the request OF
the defendant. Kelly states that he knows
nothing about any overalls and assumes to
be profoundly innocent of anything con-
nected with the crime. Boyer, who seems
to be a side partner with the defendant, will
be heard from later. Kelly was bound over
| in the sum Of 81 900 to await the action of
the grand jury.
