STOLE BASE BULLION
Officers Recover the Plumber and
the Thieves Are Land
ed in Jail.

Jack Clark and John Harrison are
confined in the county Jail on d charge
of grand larceny in stealing two bars
OF bullion from the Germania smelter
last Wednesday night As soon as the
case was reported to him, Sheriff Nay
Tor took up the trail, which led to a
cache on Seventh West street between
Seventh and Eighth South. Here the
bullion was found early last Friday
evening. On account of the presence
OF a suspicious character, Sheriff Nay
Tor and Deputy Raleigh loaded it into
the buggy to take to the county Jail,
but just as soon as darkness came on
they took the 200 pounds of bullion
back to the cache, expecting that the
thieves would come after it. The Of
ficers did not have long to wait until
their hopes were realized, and the men
whom they were so anxious to catch
fell into the trap that was laid for
them. The arrest of the two men was
kept quiet until yesterday on the belief
that there were others implicated in
the theft of the base bars, which are
worth probably not less than 500 each,
but now the officers are certain that
Clark and Harrison turned the trick

Harrison is known to the criminal Of
