Julia Gentle, a 16-year-old girl, is

charged by y. Y. Rust with the theft
of bicycle. Recently the girl call
ed at Mr.. Rust's place of business
and rented a wheel. She never re-
turned with it and it was some time
before she could be located. y war
rant was issued for her arrest and
in Justice Halls court some time ago
she testified that after using the
wheel she had sent it back to Mr..
Rust by messenger boy, giving the
latter 10 cents for the errand- Mr..
Rust, however, did not place much
credence in her story and continued
the investigation. He at last found
that the wheel had been sold to a
party by the name of Williams, in
Rock Island. Mr.. Williams paid So
for the wheel and yesterday identi-
fed the Gentle girl as the one who
sold him the wheel. This makes her
liable for two charges in the face of
the law, one the theft of the wheel
and the other by perjuring herself in
Justice Halls court by testifying
while under oath that she had re-
turned the wheel to its rightful own
er by a messenger boy, when in reali-
'ty she had disposed of it in Rock ISL
and. Just what disposition will be
made of her case has not yet been
decided, although there is. some talk
of sending her to the House of Good
Shepherd at Peoria. The matter is
