She Returns the Clothing.

Miss Flosse Arsham was up before JUS
tce Wen yesterday to answer to the charge
of stealing clothing belonging to Mrs. Jennie
Cochran of North Seventh street. She re-
sides with her mother in Missouri Valley
and was brought here late Thursday night
under arrest by Constable Alberti.
At the hearing it developed that Miss
Arsham had no intention of stealing the
clothing, which she had borrowed but had
delayed in returning. While in the city in
the early part of October Miss Arsham
met with an accident which necessitated her
securing change of clothing. Being ac-
quainted with Mrs. Cochran she called at her
home and secured the loan of a skirt and
petticoat, which she promised to return as
soon as she reached her home in Missouri
Valley. She failed. however to return the
clothes and Mrs. Cochran, fearing she had
no intention to do so, filed an information
against her. Miss Arsham was much morti-
fled at being taken into custody and eff
fected a settlement by paying Mrs. Cochran
S. and returning her the clothing.
Miss Arsham's right name is Florence
Rhodabeck, Arsham being her mothers pres
ent name. Her father is attorney ]. G.

Treasurer Arnd Attaches Shoes.

County Treasurer William Arnd Is not in
the shoe business, but nevertheless he has
a stock of boots and shoes on his hands
which came into his possession yesterday
evening in rather an unusual manner. e.
E. Adams, proprietor of the Boston Shoe
company, at AT Broadway, disposed of his
stock to firm in Omaha Yesterday even
ing big moving wagon from across the
river backed up at the rear of the Boston
Shoe store and the stock was quietly loaded
into 1T. Shortly after the wagon with it's
load had started for Omaha word was sent
to County Treasurer Arnd. Now it hap
pened that Adams owed taxes amounting to
$212, so Treasurer Arnd lost no time in
despatching Deputy Sheriff Baker to over
haul the wagon If possible before it reached
Nebraska territory and to attach the stock.
Baker overlook the wagon near the east end
of the bridge and compelled the driver to
return to town. The wagon was too large
to place in one of the livery barns, so quar-
ters for it had to be secured in the storage
room OF the Minneapolis Thresher company,
where it remained last night in charge of a
deputy sheriff. The stock was said to con-
sist of $4,000 pair of shoes.
