pert Room Thief.
George w. Davis is the name of a dig
nified-appearing elderly man who some
times calls himself Lawson and at
others ''Stratton,' and who appears to be
a very sly sort of raider.
Yesterday forenoon he was found by a
chambermaid at the Capital Hotel in the
room of a young lady guest of the house,
but he appeared to be such a gentleman,
and so politely assured his discoverer
that he was friend of the absent occu-
pant of the room, that she allowed him
to bow himself out without raising an
alarm.
subsequently it was ascertained that a
pair of bracelets, jacket, and other ar
ticIes had disappeared from the room,
also that the steward of the hotel was
minus several things, including suit of
clothes.
The matter was reported to Chief Drew,
and he detailed Officer Isaac Simmons TO
see what he could do toward finding the
thief.
When the only Isaac heard the de-
scription of the man he involuntarily
winked his right eye and pressed his
finger alongside his nose in a significant
manner. Then he went straight to the
reading-room of hotel, where he found
the gentleman dignifiedly reading the
papers. He became very indignant when
told that be must go with the officer, but
Simmons finally landed him in the foul
