ARRESTED ON SUspICIoN.-The po-
lice yesterday arrested William, Law
renee and Larry Bright as suspicious
characters, but at night when they
were examined nothing was proven
against them and they were dismissed.
Mr.. George Ayers's store window, it
will be remembered, was broken open
and robbed Monday night, and the
three boys having been seen on King
street at late hour that night and the
accounts given of themselves being I'M
satisfactory, together with their gener-
al reputation, caused their arrest. 1t
seems that strange man came to this
city Monday afternoon and had an in
terview with the two Oldest boys, and
it was believed by some that the roE-
berry was planned by the trio. The
house in which the Brights live was
searched, but none of the plumber was
found.

pravity, artlossness and schoming villainy are
strikingly interviewer, AS her, tofore stated,
