Yesterday Acting Chief of Police
Rhodes received a letter from Conley
and McTague of Deer Lodge, Mont,
stating that they had received the
photograph sent them from here, of
Charles Gray, alias L. P. Shannon.
They recognized the picture as that OF
Henry Sherman, who served a three
years sentence at that place on
charge of grand larceny. He was re-
leased from the Denitentiary on the
18th of last August. he arrived in Deer
Lodge from Park county, Mont, on
the 23rd of February, 1895. Conley and
McTague are prison contractors, and
had Gray under their charge during his
incarceration. This, then, clears up the
mystery surrounding the gentleman
burglar who was caught in the act of
burglarizing the house of Mr.. John b.
| Cries a short time ago.

young woman appeared at the po-
lice station during the early part of the
week, and reported to the police that
she had had a watch stolen from her
She had gone into the dress making
rooms of Mrs. Cannon, and laid the
watch on the dresser while she tried
on a basque While she and Mrs. Can
ron We're busy with the dress, a China
man came to the house to sell vege-
tables. After he had gone, they dis
covered that the watch was also miss
ing. They Immediately suspected the
Monaghan, and reported their suspic-
ions to the.police.
Yesterday the two women saw the
Chinaman, and demanded that he give
up the watch. He denied having taken
| it, but the women persisted, and threat
ened to call the police to their aid. This

watch. AS he did so he explained that
he had only taken it in fun, and did
not mean to keep it The women, hav-
ing recovered the watch, did not care
to carry the case any farther, so it
was dropped.
Frank Williams was yesterday ar
rested by Officer Dillon for obtaining
goods under false pretences.
A deaf mute was arrested Yesterday
/ by Officer EemDle on charge of as
sault. 1t is alleged that he struck a
small boy with a stick in a very VIC
ious manner, and without provocation.
| The mute was locked up in jail to
await his trial before Judge Wenger in
police court.
It was decided yesterday that the
case against O'Mara, the man that was
charged with breaking a window in
| Barney Harvey's saloon, would be
| dropped. O'Mara is now in Pocatello
! under arrest, but will undoubtedly be
/ liberated unless the officials there have
/ something against him. Investigation
/ of the case led to the statement, by
! those most interested in the case. that
| they would not go to the expense of
! bringing him back to Salt Lake to
prosecute him. 1t is thought that
| O'Mara gave himself up to the police
at Pocatello in order to get a free ride
| back to Salt Lake, but in this he will
be disappointed.
| Another check issued by W. H. Bar
nett came to light yesterday A man
named Brocco appeared at the station
with the paper, which he said he had

James Griffin. who was arrested on
Thursday on a charge of petit larceny,

He committed the theft of an overcoat
| from one Sam Brown, and was fined
