furnish, and he went to the county Jail

was brought before Judge Hale, in The
circuit court, Who released him, not
withstanding District Attorney Hume'i
protests. Van Alstine made q solemn
promise that he would leave the state al

marked that within SO hours he would
be in the city Jail again. The prediction
came true. Last night Van Alstine Wis
tied the house where his wife and step-
daughter are living on Fret and Hooksf
streets, and proceeded TO smash ia the
doors and windows. Officer Al Hughes
was called, and placed him under arrest.
