STOLE 4 SLOT MACHINE.

The fact that a few practical jokers
did not come to grief Thursday night
was due to their change in the ar
rangement they carried out in their
work Charles Kaestner, the hotel
man, had in his bar room until a few
days ago a slot machine of the most
recent design.
He decided to have the machine re-
move from his place, and had it re-
moved to one of the back rooms. Late
Thursday night three young men we'll
known took the machine from the
room.
When Mr.. Kaestner learned of the
theft he notified the police. Later he
was told that the men intended to re-
turn the machine and leave it in the
back yard. The enraged hotelman
loaded his double-barrel gun and took
a position at a rear window, and
awaited their return, but they came
not. Mr. Kaestner states that had
the fellows returned he would have
fired at them. Yesterday the machine
was returned.
