George Carroll was arrested on the charge
of larceny at the request of one of his
friends, pug Williams, who charged him
with purloining $50 from the latter's pocket
last night. The men were both drinking and
visited a resort on South West street. While
there Carol took Williams's watch from one
of the girls, who was wearing 1t with Will
iams's consent. Neither Williams nor the
girl knew that Carroll had the watch When
Williams asked the girl 10 return 1t, she in
sisted that he had 1t. He denied this. and
she searched him. The men left the house,
when Carol explained the practical joke he
had been playing, and returned the watch.
Williams then claimed the woman Ia
robbed him of N.J0 and wanted TO have the
house raided. He was in an ugly mood, and
when. rather than get the women in trouble,
Carol volunteered to make good his loss,
Williams became suspicious and accused his
partner of stealing the money himself. An
officer happened along, and. after hearing
Williams's story, placed Carol under arrest,
so he says. At the station house he gave
the above story of his arrest.

And in the gale. like a feather.
Sway the lifted arms of trees;
In sullen wrath defiant seas
Repel the winds advances;
And cavalcades of sturdy rains
With gray and Bonded lances
Go forth to battle on the plains.

The spring will bear no fetter,
Winter dead, beneath the mold,
Yet holds the world his debtor.
