Last night he entered the coal and lumber yard of J. c. Hayward and helped himself from barrel of tar therein. This morning when the theft was discovered by em- ployes of Mir Hayw ird. they had no trouble fin tracking Joe to his home by the tar he had spilled on his way from the coal yard to his own door, It is said that he was as mlrh surprised by the outcome of his midnight depreciation as "Brer Rabbit was when de Tar Baby Kotch him."
