Our warm hearted Constable, Mart
Pomeroy, is out pair of handouts,
He arrested a Mexican the other
night and al the temperature OF the
city bastile was at its summer altitude
Mart thought it would be inhuman to |
keep him in there all night, so hel
took the poor fellow down home with
him. put his handouts on him and
furnished him bed iu the yard. The
constable occupied cot near by and
slept with one eye open. Just before
day he threw both eyes over toward
the prisoners couch but the same was
vacaat. Mart searched diligently
during the day for the bracelets but
so far they are still missing.
