COPS VALENTINE.
Two Stories Which Do Not Agree
About Watch.

Dave Valentine was arrested yesterday
afternoon at 5 15 on charge of larceny.
John Cops and Ramon Vejar were also
taken in custody as witnesses. This case
seems to involve two stories, neither of
which meet Cops claims that he and
Valentine got drunk and that Valentine
stole his watch. Valentine, on the 9TH
er hand, claims that Cops had pawned
his watch to him for 50. Thus he ex-
plains possession of the alleged stolen
property. Detective Wallin made the
arrest and all the parties are now in the
city iail.
