Mrs. Noble was before Chief of Po-

than repeat the statements which she
had made to the police IN the preced-

Memphis saloonkeeper.
The Memphis woman is fearful and

STOLEN CAMERA LENSES.
New Branch of Trade That Com es to the Pawnbroker in Which
 There Is Great Profit.

"The sale of camera lenses is com paratively new branch of the pawn brokers trade" said dealer in pho- tographic supplies, according to the New York Times, "but large number from that source come to the trade to be refitted with shutters and hanges. A good lens costs anywhere from $50 to $15o, and is as easy to raise money
 on as good watch. But you will no- tice that lenses you see in pawnbrok- ers' windows are without fianges. That is sure sign they have been stolen. Very few sneak thieves know enough to lift out the shutters and all, but they can get the lens and make. away with. it by simple turn of the wrist. If a man who owned a camera were to take his naked lens to a pawn shop and say he owned it he would not be believed, and would have to be con- tent with the extremely small loan usually made upon a stolen lens. Pawnbrokers are willing to take chances with them, because the risk of detection is almost nil and the profits greater when they make a sale. Amateur photographers who know their business can pick up good many bargains in the New York pawnshops. !"

Russell Carpenter Before Justlce Day
 ton Last Evening on Several Charges.
 Russell Carpenter, young man who TOT some time past has been living in me southwestern part of the town, was arrested and brought before Justice H. T. Dayton last evening. Eight charges were preferred against the prisoner by Chester Atwood, the principal charges being the tearing away of a dam to a pond on MT Atwoods place and the at tempt to nlaliciously injure private property. To five of the charges Car penter pleaded guilty, and with the other three such conclusive evidence was brought to bear that nothing in the manner of denial could have been of- fered except the plea of the prisoner. In summing up the case Justice Day ton said that although the prisoner was a previous offender, he did not wish to appear too harsh with him, as he was still a young man and hopes of a change in conduct might be enter tadned. For the charge of injury to private property Carpenter was fined $7 and costs and for each of the other charges $2 and costs the whole amounting to $35.95. As the prisoner was unable to pay the fines he was taken into custody by Sheriff F. O.. Peck.
