-Four alleged thieves were arrested
yesterday and are now in jail awaiting
trial. The police are waging an unre-
lenting war upon the crooks and tough
characters in the city, and the work
they are doing in this direction is GER
tainly creditable Not least among the
active members of the force are the
two detectives, Sheets and Raleigh.
They let scarcely day pass without
digging I'D something that does not
lead to the recovery of some of the
stolen articles that have been taken
| from the citizens Of Salt Lake and the
surrounding country.
Yesterday was no exception, and one
| of the victims that fell into the hands
! of the willy detectives was f. B. Muir
ply. He was placed in durance vile.
with the allegation against him that ne
stole an overcoat from the Victoria
! House. The garment in question is said
| to belong to one II. Warning, who was
living in the house.
Sergeant Burbidge captured two boys
who are alleged to have stolen two
chickens found in their possession. The
boys were taken to the station, and the
charge of petit larceny was placed
| against them. 1t is claimed that the
pair owned a dog that was trained for
their special use. They could pass by q
yard and point out q chicken to the
four-footed larcenist, and he would i'm
mediateiy make a charge and capture
the bird. Then like a good dog be
| would bring it to his masters, who
| would pull off it's head and start for
more fowls. The boys gave their names
as John Tompkins and Alma Hyler.

Yesterday evening Mayor Clendin-
ming appeared in the police station and
asked for list OF all the men that were
in Jail on charges Of drunkenness and
vagrancy. This was furnished him and

Office to receive their freedom the
mayor told them that he had pardoned
them in order that they could enjoy
Thanksgiving day and eat turkey din
ners. He told them to behave them
/ selves, and they all said they would nos
| be back again. 1t was not long after
they had departed before they were
again, and d few succeeded before mid
night. Those who were pardoned We're
