Stole a Horse.

Last night man giving his name as
Chas. Schumand, was brought to this
city from Kerrville by a constable and
lodged in the city jail for safe keeping.
This morning he was taken out and
lodged in the county Jail under the charge
of stealing horse.
The affidavit was filed by r. E. Kehoe,
a livery stable man of this city, whose
horse was stolen.
1t seems that Schumand is not the
thief's name, but as he gives no other, he
will have to be known by the one he gave.
He did not ask for bond.

that the jury was out on another case.
At noon the jury was still out and there
was nothing for the Pawtucket people to
do but to pass the time away in the
lobbes.
Messrs. Osfeld, Black and McElroy
conversed in low tones in secluded cor
ner for long time.
Mr.. keenan, walked up and down the
corridor, now and then chatting with his
acquaintance.

Mayor Carroll, ex-Mayor Goodwin and
other notables were present.
AT ! O'Clock the jury was still out and
then somebody passed the word around
that the Court would not be i'm session be-
