Judge Sanders Says Thieves are Be-
coming Menaces to the Country.
They Should Be Disposed Of So They
Cannot Longer Be Injuries
to Society.
POLICE NEWS OF THE DAY

Police Judge Sanders handed out
some hot ones this morning at his reg
ular session OF police court. George
Harrington, who was held over some
time ago for robbing a man Of Simp-
son, ILL.,, of $50. was recently reless-
ed by the grand jury, because the main
witness could not be secured.
He wss ordered TO leave the city,
but wouldn't do 1t, and was last
night locked up for vagranoy. The
court said Harrington was known to
be a thief and il would be shown that
he stole after being released from jail.
Judge Sanders said that such oharac-
tiers should be placed where they could
not harm society.
"You can't pick up . paper that
you don't see where some one was
robbed, or had his safe blown open
and looted" declared Judge Sanders.
Now a man who would blow open a
safe to get mans money would blow
open the mai himself to get it.
These criminals go TO the penitentisry
and stay few years and come back
mesner than ever. Why, a man came
to my office this morning, a hard
working and who had only SIS. so in
the world, and swore out warrant
against a notorious character only re-
Gently back from the penitentiary, for
robbery. The thief has been up for
grand larceny, robbery and everything
else, and last night, meeting this
hsrdworking man, knocked him in
the head and while he was unncon-
scious went through his pockets and
took every cent he had. Such men as
that ought to be put where they can
no longer injure society"
The case against Harrington was
continued.
A fight between Levi Trice and Till.
man Rowlett, colored, will result in
wholesale warrants. They fought back
of a saloon near Ten tn and Boyd
streets, and Trice was fined $40 and
costs and the case against the ether
was dis missed. The evidence develop
ed the fact that they fought over a
crap game, in which fifteen or twenty
were engaged. Only four could be
named by the two scrappers, however,
and Pat Moore, colored, who was lso
there, was equally ignorant and the
court informed him tnat a warrant
for false swearing would be issued
against him. All the participants in
the game whose names can be learned
will be warranted.
Judge Sanders himself was peace
maker yesterday afternoon late in a
fight between Frank Goodman and
Henry Lovelace, plasterers. Good
man, it appears, was in the wrong
and was fined s. and costs while tine
other was dismissed.
The breach of ordinance case
against James Huff, the wagon yard
man, was continued a week. He is
charged with blockading the street.
John Tucker and Jonn Moray were
fined 81 and costs each for plain
drunks.

King, colored, were fined 50 and costs
each for disorderly conduct.

Kentucky Boys Arrested in ST. Louis
With a Small Fortune in Gold.
Two Claim TO be from Livingston
County and One from.Crit-
tenden County.
WHERE DID MONEY COME FRoMi

An interesting story is told In yes
terday's st. Louis papers Of three
Southwest Kentucky boys who were
arrested there while having a good
time, and $3.50 in gold found on them.
Two of the boys claim to be from
Lola, Livingston county, and the
other one from Irma, Crittenden ooun.
~, about eight miles from Marion.
The Globe Democrat says Of the
case:
Barclay schillinger Of Irms, KY,
and Leonard Ohsmblain and Edward
Clayton, both of Lola, KY, all under
20 years Of age. hearing Of the won
ders OF the Worlds Fair city, left
their homes and travelled to st. Louis.
As a result all three slept last night
In the central district holdover, while
$500 that they had on them reposed in
the safe At headquarters. For two
days the boys had explored the intri.
cate by.wsys of the city, and yester-
day. being no longer able to navigate
IN proper shape, they were arrested at
Chestnut and Twenty second streets
by Officer Duffy.
1.-THE three boys were dressed in ty-
pical mountaineer style, with wide
hats, gay shirts and loose fitting
clothes. The officials were therefore
surprised TO find on searching them
that, instead Of the usual penknife
aud damp matches, the prisoners
yielded bountiful supply of bright
yellow boys. Officer Duffy put his
hand in the pocket Of young Clayton
and drew forth a fstful Of gold eagles
and half eagles that dazzled the eyes
of the assembled police officials
Again the policeman took grab and
once more the pocket Of the youngster
yielded mp gold. Again and again the
hand came forth lined with the pre-.
cious metal, and when at last the sup
ply was exhausted Officer Duffy could
not cover the pile with his helmet
Young Ohamblain met officer Duff
~ on Chestnut street about 6 O'Clock
yesterday evening. He told the Off
Ger that he mad lost his friends and
was afraid that they had been rob
bed. As the young man was under
the influence Of liquor Duffy took
him in charge. When the two
reached the corner of Twenty second
street they met the other young
men, and officer Duffy took the en-
tire bunch in tow.
According to the story Of young
schillinger, who appeared to be the
leader of the party, the other boys
came to st. Louis as his guests. lie
says his father is the postmaster of
Irma. MY father said he, lis a
very rich man. He is worth $780,
900. He knew that / desired to see
the world and so gave me $500 to
make trip. didn't think it safe to
come to st. Louis alone, so l brought
my friends for protection. "
A number of Smithland people
were seen today, and none of them
ever heard of the names given by the
young men of Lola, although the
young Crittenden county mans name
is probably schullinger instead of
schillinger. The latter was here few
days ago and tried to close deal for
South Third street saloon, but it fell
through.
A special from ST. Louis to the Sun
this afternoon says: After spending
about $3.50 of the 5000 that he took
from his father, BOrclay Sullinger,
