Francis Leo g. Harding, the "Colc.
RADIO Cottage" celebrity, young man
who was and still is conspicuous in
that list Of trough aud ready" young
sters about town who are constant
annoyance to the public and tax upon
the forbearance of this community, has.
at last, wound himself in the meshes Of
trouble from which he will experience
great difficulty in exlricating himself.
1t will be remembered that Mr. w. r.
Dailey's rooms at the Hotel were
entered by a thief few nights ago,
and several articles of value were mis-
thing in his power to recover the stolen
goods. finally offering reward of $50
for their return.
lesUei 80. afternoon Frc.;"is Leo G..
Harden put in an appearance at the
theatrical managers apartments and
offered to return the articles if he could
be assured of the reward. Mrs. Daley
thought $50 too much TO pay for the
property and Hardin finally agreed to
accept S25. He first proposed that Mrs.
Daley accompany him in the buggy to
place where the articles would be
handed over but on being refused ac-
cepted Mr.. Dailey's company instead,
and the two rode away together.
On reaching the top of Punchbowl
the horse was hitched and Hardin com
manded Daley to get out. He then
approached an embankment, grabbed
up pair of pistols and signaled for an
other man who promptly appeared,
masked and with a strong brigandist
look. The stolen articles were then re-
turned. piece mt time, and the reward
of S25 was paid over by Mr.. Daley.
just then Misses Gassman and Nannary
were seen approaching in another
buggy, having followed the party
from the Hotel Hardin demanded
that the young ladies be sent away
which Mr. Daley at once proceeded to
do. When they had started down the
hill Hardin and Daley returned to their
vehicle and followed. Hardin was driv-
ing, and seeming to fear that the young
ladies intended disclosing what had
passed before their eyes on reaching
town, he whipped up and drove down
the winding road to the Mormon Church
at break-neek rate. Here the would
be brigand leaped from the buggy, and
bidding Mr.. Daley adieu, disappeared.
Harden was arrested i'll Chinese res
| taurant last evening and taken to the
Police Station. On his person was
found nothing save wash ticket and
nickel. He was charged with assault
with dangerous weapon and his bail
was fixed at $1,000.
| After last nights performance Man
ager Daley was requested to stay over
and testify in the proceedings against
the two men. Mr.. Daley feels gratiiied
at getting off as well as he did. He had
$500 in his pocket during the confer
ence with the two bandits on
| Punchbowl.
This morning Minister Resident
Wodehouse, Attorneys General w. o.
Smith and Mr.. Daley We're closeted
together for an hour in the Marshal's
Office. At this conference an agree
ment was reached between the three
parties. Hardin was to be banished
again ! But conditions of release were
enforced. The bandit was required to
tell all he knew of the robbery at the
Hotel, stating the guilty party's name,
his whereabouts and all particulars
needed by the Government III melting
Justice to the offender This was
agreed to, and Hardin added as he
passed OUT "This is the best strike
have made yet. ] will get a free pas
sage to San Francisco on the Australia. y
At l1:l0 Minister Wodebouse and
Attorney-General Smith returned to the
station house, and remained IN con-
ference several. minutes. Harden had
given out that Archie Fitzgerald, the
boy crook, was the party who had
robbed Dailey's rooms at the Hotel.
Several policemen were detailed to find
|, Fitzgerald and in short time he was
brought in and locked up.
At 1920 Hardin returned TO the
police station, smiling and seeming
greatful at his deliverance from a sulk
ing justice: his neck encircled by q
broad yellow lei. He was Immediately
ushered in before the Minister, Attorney
General and deputy-marshal, where an
otherI hasty conference was held. The
captain of the Australia had refused Il
