The man Samuel Beck, who com
planned to the Wheeling police that he
had been robbed Monday night, had a
little experience in this city. He was
very much under the influence of liquor
and while in this state took charge of
George Blake's pony. He perched him
self on the animals back and started
up the street. In passing Mr.. Blake's
home Beck fell off the pony his foot
being caught in the stirrup. This ac-
cident might have resulted very seri-
ously, but fortunately the owner of the
pony was on hand and took charge of
his property Beck at this juncture
was very mad and wanted to take the
horse. Blake, of course, refused to al
low this and went after the police.
BY this time. however, Beck thought
it best for him to get away, which he
did before the officers turned up. The
next heard of him was at Wheeling,
where he complained to the police.
