THE WHEAT STEALING CASE


Tony Banning Now on Trial tor Grand
Larceny.
Tony Banning is the name of a colored
man whose trial was commenced in
Judge Catlin's court yesterday on a
charge of grand larceny.
The prisoner was arrested on the 18th
of December by Officer Ahern at the
Grand Hotel lodging-house in this city.
He had been working for man named
Waite who lives out near the Marysville
road, some ten miles north of the city,
and soon after he left there Waite was
robbed one night of quantity of wheat.
The prosecution claims that Banning
got one OF Waite's teams and farm
wagon which were here in the city and
returned to the ranch, loaded the wagon
with wheat and was waiting at the Pio-
neer Mill with it when the Office opened
next morning. He gave his name as
henderson, sold the wheat and took the
team and tied it near Waite's house.
When arrested he denied everything,
but Ahern took him to the mill and he
was identified as the man who sold the
wheat.
Assistant District Attorney j. Charles
Jones is conducting the prosecution, and
