SANTA ANA. May 29.-(Regular Corre-
spondence) Robert Boswell was arrested
last night by Deputy Sheriff Landell on a
warrant charging him with burglary. Bos-
wells accuser is Jacob Markwalder, hts
former chum and co-defendant in trial
some weeks ago, when the two wero
charged by a neighbor with entering a
chicken house and stealing hen. They
were dismissed upon the preliminary ex.
animation, and, 1t seems, have since had
a falling out. Boswells bonds have been
fixed at $500, but he has so far been unable
to secure the amount, so he languishes in
jail. Markwalder says that Boswell broke
into his house several weeks ago and stole
quantity of potatoes and other edibles,
hence the arrest.
