WOODS DISCHARGED.
But Told That He Should Not Take
His Property That Way.

James Woods was charged in the Po-
lice Court yesterday with petit lar
ceny.
The evidence for the prosecution
showed that the wagon had been
bought of Woods by A Stadler, but
as he did not pay for it, he let Woods
take it back and afterwards sold it to
j. Summerhalter, who took it away,
Woods being present.
Woods testified that Stadler hired the
wagon of him for % cents a day, but
did not pay it. He did not sell it to
Stadler. He tried to get his wagon
when Summerhalter got possession of
it and as he could not get it, he took
it home when he found a chance.
The court held that Woods was tech
nically guilty, in thus retaining his
property, but that Stadler was more
reprehensible, it appearing that he had
attempted to dispose of property not
his own. He discharged the defendant.

what it is at a glance. There is some

wearing and lasting, the superiority of
fabric the honest careful stitching and
the advantage of no great strain in any
