Word was received here Monday from
Toledo that Mrs Arthur Young
was held there on charge of stealing
pocketbooh containing S1S7 in a mil
merry store n nat city. Her husband
FASTENED to her assistance and to
him she denied her guilt, claiming
that it was another woman whom
she had accompanied to the store
who committed the theft. Her husband
believed her and engaged an attorney
to defend his wife. Later in the day,
however, his hopes were shattered.
His wife's room was searched and the
pocketbook containing the S1S7 was
found concealed beneath the carpet.
Mrs. Young turns out to be no less a
parsonage than the notorious Mother
Hubbard. whose sneak-thieving pro-
pensities are known to the police
throughout the country. Her pic
ture adorns the rogues gallery
in many of the larger cities.
For years she has lived dual
life. While at her home in this city
she appeared to her acquaintance to
he the soul of honor, and she was
greatly respected. 1t was noticed,
however, that Mrs. Young often left
home, remainging away for weeks at a
time, Nothing strange was thought of
this, however, as it was always believed
that she was away visiting friends or
relatives
Mr.. and Mrs. Young have lived in
Cleveland for several years. their home

FIRED ON OUR FLAG.
The Stars and Stripes Insulted in
HOnduran Waters.
For Refusing to Surrender "A Passenger
Seven Shots Are Sent After the
Steamship Costa Rica, with
Our Minister Aboard.
OLD GLORY INsULTED.


LA LIBERTAD, Honduras, Nov T.
Honduras fired upon the American flag
Monday morning. BY the alleged
orders of President Vasquez and the
express command of the commits
sioner of the port of Amapala seven
cannon shots were fired after the
Pacific mail steamship Costa Rica, fly
ing the stars and stripes, as she steamed
away because she refused to surrender
one of her passengers to the Honduras
government. United States Minister
Baker was on board the Costa Rica at
the time.
Cause of the Trouble.
The passenger about whom the
trouble arose is Policarpo Bonilla, who
recently led the revolution in Hondu-
ras, but was defeated by Gen. Vasquez.
He then fled to Nicaragua, and with 800
of his adherents Joined the army of
President Sacasa, who was engaged in
an attempt to quell rebellion. Bonilla
had decided to leave Nicaragua. He
therefore sailed from Corinto for Guate-
mala on November on the Costa
Rica. American Minister Baker and
more than 100 other persons were his
fellow passengers. They arrived Sun
day morning at Amapala, port of en-
try of Honduras on the Pacific coast,
and at 2 o'clock in the afternoon the
commander of the Port Villla de-
manded that Capt. Dow should
surrender Bonilla. Seven shots
were fired after the Costa Rica.
although she flew the American
flag. None of the shots struck her,
however. but it 10 feared the steamship
City of Panama, of the same line, which
was lying in the port, may have been
injured, because the firing continued
for some time after the Costa Rica was
out of range.
