Two hobos engaged 10 a street eight on
Tuesday evening, which resulted In q
draw. the town marshal serving as time
keeper and referee. In searching one Of
the contestants at the Jail the officer dis
covered a silver watch concealed on his
person. Upon investigation Il was found
to be the property Of F. r Wilson, from
whose vest il was stolen some days ago
while the garment hung on hay rack
near the house. Tht tramp awkwardly
assured the officer that he found IL on the
railroad, but his story was not considered
q conclusive defense. Mr.. Wilson de-
clsred that the tramps have stolen at
least $3.50 worth OF his property and that
he proposed that this fellow shall be pros
ecuted for petty larceny. But after he
had heard q statement Of the case be saw
that IT would be impossible to convict
him Of the theft and he consented to dis
missing the case. The tramp WAS bru-
tai. surly-looking scoundrel. II was he
who jerked wooden bar from the Jail
door and attempted to assault Officer Lii
lie with il, but he was promptly over
powered and disarmed. Neither the
sheriff nor his deputies. by the way, had
anything to do with these arrests, as err
roneously claimed by some.

Thus to bring the character OF business
man in question without evidence of his
having violated any law is very serious
affair, and prosecutors should see that
complaining witnesses are not permitted
to treat such matters SO lightly.

large companies, and their marsudings
are becoming alarmingly extensive. The
authorities seem to be unable TO cope
with them. They steal and destroy in
the country as well as in the cities and
towns.
