kingly mettle was In him.
The world knows him only as a jolly
prince who has done nothing very good
nor any great evil. Perhaps the most
notable feature of his life thus far has
been his fondncss for sports. He has

In Justice Malsch's court yesterday Jack
Baker was bound over to the grand jury
in the sum Of $500 on a charge Of burglary
The defendant is accused of entering an
upper storage room at the plant of the Ma

extra pump fixtures and the like. It Ia stat.
ed that the brass had been stored IN an up

The suppositlon Is that the brass was
pitched from an upper window into the
street and then hauled away.
The defendant was Identified by T. r.

the man who offered quantity Of brass
for sale to the Hartwel iron works and
who made the statement that he had been

much from petty thieves who steal the
metal wherever It Is to he found aud sell

Northern dealers, There has been quite Il
bull movement In the brass market since
the Spanish American war,
As before stated machinery men OF the
city who used great many brass hx-
lures have been very much annoyed and
otherwise damaged by having them stolen
up the netarIous traffic The Investigation
Win be continued until the stealers of brass
and the Junk dealers who handle the stolen
goods are driven out Of business.
