young Swartz was released from the
workhouse recently and that his bonds

skip to avoid prose stcution for Petit lar
oeny in stealing ferret, withdrew his
security and turned the man over to the
county jail to await his hearing. Swsrtz's
brother, Oscar, made the charge of steal
ing, and also told the bondsman of
Perry's intentions, but within the past
few days he has become reconciled, and
is willing to withdraw his ,harge against
the brother and have the case dismissed.
Judge Wise did not feel disposed to let
the case drop so easily, and leave the
county to tettle the $50 costs and he
said IL should come to hearing. 1t was
stated that Oscar had his brother ar
rested not 20 much for stealing the fer
