hare been continually breaking into the

petty character Of the articles stolen thar

Upon the complaint OF A. 8. Coates, the
following were arrested yesterday by
Sheriff Mock; Hale Palmer, Thomas Has
tie and Frank HASTE. aged respectively
a. IA and rs years Upon arraignment be-
fore Justice J. w. Clapp. Hale Palmer, the
youngest, pleaded guilty 70 the charge Q,
burglary, and turned states evidence. In
HIS examination he made clean breast
OF the whole history OF his crimes. ana
that of his pals. with ehild-lske simplicity.
In the day time they had evidently tam
pered with the door locks and window fas-
Jennings OF the different stores, so thai IN
gress and egress might be easy. The ex-
IRENE cieyeruess OF the manner in which
this was accomplished, and the systematic
concealnent OF the evidence OF their many
thefts. would put 20 blush more adept

their rendezvous and receptacle for the
