BREAD THIEVEs.- For some time
past complaint has been made to po-
lice headquarters that the bread boxes
in front OF stores in different sections
OF the CITY were being robbed. l-ieu;en-
ant smith has been eHdcavoring in
every way to catch the thieves, and
This morning Officer James Griffin
brought to the station house a youth
WHO had been caught in the western
scrtior of the city under very suspicious
circnmsta Nces. There were three of
the Youngsters. but two OF them eluded
the officer. Lieu. Smith, after the boy
had been locked up, eXtorted con-
fession from him, which was to the Ell
feet that he was one of three brothers
named Bright, who exc out an exist
ence by questionable means. They are
frequent patrons of the Police Court.
This morning when brought before
Mayor Strauss the juvenile thief COR
roborated the Lieutenant's statement
which was to the effect that he had to
steal or starve. The accused was sent
to jail. These boys could find honest
employment if they desired it, but it
seems they prefer to loaf about the
streets and when they become hungry
they resort to stealing.
