Will Brill and Dave Stout, two Young
hoodlums from the north end, who
nave more than once attracted public
attention as offenders of the law, forced
an entrance into the depot warehouse
last Thursday night, and stole eight
bottles OF wine; the robbery was not
discovered until next morning. Sus-
plclon was at once fastened on these two
boys and little investigation revealed
that they were the offenders. Four
bottles Of the wine were also recovered.
Ihe boys were placed in Jail, had their
preliminary Friday, and were bound
over to await the action of the grand
jury. Were it not for the youth of the
accused, they would certainly stand a
good show for the penitentiary.

cerated in the asylum at fulton, ar
rived in town Sunday and proceeded to |
let the fact be known that he was here.

making himself a general nuisance.

frightened the servants, grabbed a
bundle of papers and started out on the
street. Sheriff Fisher and Marshal
Baldwin then arrived and took him to
he Jail where he still languishes.
