Harry Bryar had quite an experience
last Sunday on account of the desire of
another man to carry his watch. Early
in the morning he left his vest in the
toilet room and some time afterward
went for the vest, but the watch had
been taken from the pocket. He notified
an officer, who arrested three men on
suspicion, who readily consented to being
searched, and the watch not being found
on them they were released. Mr.. Bryar
thought he might know the man who
had his watch as he remembered the pc
culiar shirt which he wore, so he search
ed for him all day without success. A
few minutes before the leaving time of
the City of South Haven, Mr.. Bryar ard
Ernest Sisson were watching the passen-
gers 90 on the boat when they saw
man with two ladies and child that
Bryar felt impressed was the man, so
= Ssson arrested him and took him in the
warehouse TO be searched when he broke
down and cried, and handed over the
watch, begging for mercy. He stated
, that he had position in Chicago which
being arrested would cause him to lose,
and he also spoke of his family. Mr..
> Bryar was sufficiently pleased on recev-
ing his watch not to insist on prosecu-
