TRICK is TURNED.

Still they had confidence in what the
smart guardian of the household said.
A hasty examination Of the interior Of
the cellar disclosed the startling fact
that the sack of swag had disappeared.
No one accused the copper of having
taken it, so it was mutually agreed
that the burglar turned the trick him
self.
The cop did not know how it all hap
pened; he knew nothing till he was
shown. Then he scratched his head
and took on an expression of wisdom.
He hinted at burglars having been
asleep in the cellar for several days,
but could not explain how the gentle
mon made a getaway while he was
guarding the doorway of the cellar.
Several hundred dollars worth of
goods were stolen, including some sur
gical instruments belonging to DR.. Van
Meter, a roomer at the place. Miss
Croney had used the basement for a
storeroom and had deposited many
valuable articles there. The burglar
was a good judge and shrewd and he
overlooked nothing. Still the cop re-
fuses to believe and hints at crooks
with wings.

sOn December 2, 1902, 1 was taken

die. I could hardly eat anything.
everything distressed me and 1 was
weak and sick all over. When in that
condition coffee was abandoned and 1
was put on Postum, the change in my
feelings came quickly after the drink
that was poisoning me was removed.

from me and I began to get well day

Cd society. There are an INDEFINITE
number Of features and ramificauons
Of his case pending in various courts:
All sorts Of proceedings against him
and in his behalf have been instituted.

about $4,000 shortin his accounts. He
was convicted on one charge OF en-
bezzlement, February'6, 1898, and SEN
fenced to four years. at Folsom.
Various kinds Of appeals on several
features Of his case were taken. He
was next sentenced to serve one year

there was a fight over a bill of excep-
fious. another over the Judges in
structions and another over COM
plant. Next came a difference over
the posting Of the courts record. The
new trial is granted this particular
-tinne because certain evidence, incom-
petent but detrimental TO the defend
ant. was introduced.
