which have been doing the city for a
week or so. Officer Hemple yesterday

him. This aroused Sergeant Janney' $
suspicion and in company with Hempel
he went to the Board of Trade building
where a room was broken into some
nights ago and among other things, pair
of tan shoes taken. The victim or this
burglery accompanied the officers TO the
