Tobacco Thieves Arrested.

c. Fl. Daniels and William Harri-
son, cigar makers, were arrested by
Patrolman Duga on Canal street last
night on suspicion of lsrcency. They
had IN their possession pail of fine
cut tobacco and several pack
ages of the weed which they
were trying to sell TO pedestrians. They
would not tell the officer how they OBJ
tanned their goods and the general
actions of the fellows convinced him
that il was stolen property. When
questioned about the matter at police
headquarters they would give no
definite account of bow they got the
tobacco and they were locked up for in,
vestigauon. They were partially drunk
when arrested.
