Thieves at the Ferry

| Last week Sam Jacobson, The
Gienn's Ferry merchant, missed q
large quantity ofhigh grade clothing
from the tables in his store, and in,
quiry made it apparent that The
same were stolen. He then caused
four suspicious looking hoboes to be
closely watched. and Lee Judy and
Arthur Ruse observed one Of the
four go behind Herron's warehouse
at the east end of town, with an
over-coat under his arm and re.
manned there few minutes, and
then come back to town These
gentlemen went down to the ware
house and found five pairs of pant
aloons cached under the building,
and reported the same to Consta-
BILE Stein, who went there and
brought back the goods which Mr..
Jacobson identified as his. This
led to the Issue Of q warrant for the
four on charge Of grand larceny.
The hnboes gave their names as w.
II. Austin, VIM. Scott, J. F. Casey
and ]. Lynch. About the time Of
the arrest, Fred Liljegran reported
that one of the four Casey he'd
tried to sell him a pair of panta-
looms for $3.50, and if the pair
would not fit him, he would bring
a pair that would. Investigation
by the constable proved that Casey
had sold three pairs to various par
ties at prices from $1.25 to $3.50.
The county attorney was wired
for, and went down, and conducted
the examination in Justice Mulla-
ny's court. The value Of the cloth
ing recovered, not amounting to
$50, the county attorney dismissed
the case for grand larceny, and
asked that Lynch be discharged
and the other three be held for trial
for petit larceny. The court held
Casey and Scott and discharged
Austin. Scott and Casey pleaded
guilty to the offense and were sem
fenced to 80 days each. The train
men are Of the opinion that these
four belong to the gang that have
been doing a series Of robberies and
pilferings around the towns be-
tween here and Huntington.
