Chas. Beebe, who was arrested last
spring on the charge of stealing gold
watch from Cora Rose, was discharged.
The whole case budded into a simple
quarrel between the complaining wit
ness and the defendant. The latter
had at one time been the best man OF
the former. but a breach occurred
which caused HIM to shake her. He
had at various times advanced Cora
money. and as there was no prospect of
getting it back, took her watch az Sc
curity. This made her mad and she
had him arrested for stealing 1t. The
examination entailed an expense OF
over Sl00 TO the county and 500 to the
defendant. The watch 10 worth $50.
In summing up the case Judge West
fall SAID that the actions OF both were
seuch that punishment should be IN
fiicted, but that 1t was impossible for
him to do so under the circumstances.
Ever since the examination opened
Beebe's sister has travelled from South
Bend TO this city, covering the distance
as many rs dozen times.
