workmen. Ed Lynch and o'Hara, ar
rested because he was not sure which
had stolen his money. But the marshal
found the $3.50 sewed up in O'Hara's
shirt and SO he was held to answer the
charge. while Lynch was turned loose.

Browns arrest for forgery. and Judge
Harris on Monday bound him over for
appearance before the district court.
