ONCE TOO OFTEN
Did Robert Giles Practice Petit
 Larceny


 Some months ago Mir Frank Stewart had a pistol stolen from him. He was unable ever to find the thief. Yesterday he was i'll the rear of Brannon Bros. in a room on the second floor. While there he laid a pair of hand cuffs on Q table. He forgot the cuffs and went down stairs, leaving them on the table. Later missing the hand cuffs he re turned 10 the room to get them but they were gone. He inquired of every body in at Brannons, Robert Giles being the first person he in- quired of. Mr Stewart offered Giles $500 if he would find the hand-cuffs.
 Last night he was discovered with the pistol that Mr. Stewart had lost, on his person. The hand cuffs and another pistol were also found in his possession. When arrested he said that the pistol be- longed to his brother, Louis Giles, who was also arrested. Pliant Goodloe was also arrested and it is thought that the three are respon. sible for various articles of bed clothing disappearing from Bran; mons saloon.
 This morning Robert Giles plead guilty. before Justice Vance, to two cases of petit larceny and to one case for carrying a pistol. His various fines amounted to s7o and costs.
 The cases against the other two men have not been disposed of as yet.
