TRACED BY A CHECK.
Adam Stroh, Young Criminal, Is Again
Behind the Bars.

Adam stroh, Young Criminal, Is Again
Behind the Bars.
George Petrovich arrived last Monday
from the interior of the State and registered
at a clearinghouse on Pacific street, near
Sansome. During the evening he fell asleep
on a bench outside of the house, and upon
awakening discovered that he had been
robbed of a purse containing a small
amount of silver and a check for his bag
gage at the railroad depot.
He reported his loss to the police, and the
case was placed in the hands of Detectives
Bee and Harper. The railroad people were
informed of the theft of the check, and in
structed to hold the person calling for the
baggage, and when yesterday driver Of
transfer company presented the check he
was referred to the officers.
The driver furnished such clear descrip-
ton of the man who had asked him to have
the baggage removed that few hours later
the thief was in Jail. The prisoner proves
to be Adam Stroh, who, although but %
years of age, has made himself notorious in
police circles and has spent much Of his
time behind the bars.
In 1884 he was arrested for burglary. and
owing to his youth was allowed to plead
guilty to petty larceny, for which he was
imprisoned short time. In 1885 he was
jailed for participating in burglary of a
warehouse, and while in the City Prison
cut his way out but was soon captured and
sent to the House OF Correction for three
years. He is charged with grand larceny in
the present case.
