possibility, and the unfortunate maid
concealed carefully in the pocket of
her apron any hair which became en-
tangled in the brush. One day the en-

concealing a small roll of hair. Jump.

STE ALING COAL.
Half . Dozen Iou,hs Picked up for That
OTensc.

William Venerd, Frank Babb, John
Wood. Frank Maxwell, c. Maxwell and
c. Diiden were the names of six youths
who were brought to the police station yes
terday by Chief Cone on the charge of
stealing coal from the Santa Fe railway.
They will be given hearing this morn
ing before Judge Babb, and the case is
liable to go hard with them even If they
did steal from Il corporation.
Mr.. Brown, of the company, in speaking
to a reporter last night said that the
boys had stolen the coal not to
warm the home of widowed
mother or TO keep orphaned sisters from
freezing, but for the sole purpose, evident
ly, of buying cigarettes. He bought a load
of coal himself from one of the boys, for %
cents. There are. be says. dozens of boys.
and in many cases men, doing thriving
business in this dishonesty. They throw
the coal off the cars, then pick it up and
haul it up town in wheelbarrows ant. small
carts. and sell it. \ short time ago % 900
pounds We're stolen from one car alone in
this manner. He thinks that with the
splendid arrangements made this winter
for relieving the poor, that even these need
not run the risk of stealing coal, while
they can get it by applying to two or
three different sources
