is IN TROUBLE AGAIN
"Roxsy" o'Nsal Arrested Over
the River Yesterday.
IS CHARGED WITH GRAND LARCENY.
He Stole a Roll of Money from a
Roommate aud n Suit OF Clothes
from 4 Hotel Keopos-Tho Suit Re-
covered. bu. he Refuses TO Come
Back without a RequiSition.

"Roxsy" o'Neal is again in custody.
and on the same old charge, stealing.
This time he may not get of 60 fortu-
nately as he has heretofore. He has
been convicted of pe:it larceny before,
and that fact, II alleged in an indict-
ment for the present ofense will make
this felony, even II grand larceny can
not be proven this time, as It seems
probable it may. The arrest was made
O. Martins Ferry, aud after he was
locked up o'Neal said he would come
back 10 Wheeling without requihtion.
Lieut.. Lukins at once went over to
bring him here, but after consideration
he refused to come, and still languiahes
in the Martins Ferry lookup.
Night before last Roxey was at
Bierey's hotel, in the bar with crowd
of men, when the proprietor said it was
time 70 shut up. Several OF the men
went up to bed, Roxey and Charles
Smith being in the party. There were
four or five men in the room. When
they got up Yesterday morning Mr.:
Bierey found that he had had suit OF
clothes stolen from his bedside and
Smith that he was poorer by S24, that
being the value of a roll he carried in
his pocket.
O'Neal was quickly located in Mar
tiu's Ferry, aud arrested. When be re-
fused to come back to the city the
stolen suit and pair OF shoes he had
taken from another man were taken
from him. He had no money. Re-
QUESTION papers will be obtained for
him as soon as possible. and he will
have to come whether he wants to or
not.
There are two warrants out besides
this one for O'Neal, one Tor larceny and
one for obtaining money under false
nratauaaa

Hn WAS FOUND GUILTY.

Former Reports were Erroneous as to
Squire Arisie's Case.
The INrH1LIoEscER and all the other
Wheeling papers have printed the state
ment that Squire George Ankle was &C
Quilted OF the charge Of larcenyin North
Carolina, bntthe following from spe.
ciat telegram to the Baltimore Sun
would indicate that the information was
incorrect:
RALEIGH, N. G., Nov. ia trial
which has attracted much attention In
two states has ended in Whiteville. N.
C., in the conviction Of George Arkle, q
prominent citizen Of Wheeling. W. Va,
OF larceny. The case Is a strange one.
Nearly two years ago ]. b. Harrelson,
treasurer OF Columbus county, N. g.,
lost his pocketbook on train near Will
mington. Ankle and wife were on the

receipt OF $500 the pocketbook would be

penitentiary imprisonment staring him
in the face gave up the money. 1t is
said to-day that perhaps the verdict
will be set aside II Ankle pays the costs,
which are $500.
