Caught

Blanchard arrested Joseph Wilma at the
railroad depot in this city for debt, as the

1t seems that last winter Wilma engaged

him some clothes, and upon receiving
the same he refused to pay for them, and
has continued to do so since. He had his
baggage at the depot ready for shipment
this morning when arrested. AT first he
persisted in his refusal to pay for the
clothes and defed the officer to arrest
him, which he promptly did. Upon ar
irving at the station, however, the fellow
changed his mind and paid for the clothes,
when he was allowed to go.
