Alarm Clock ana Thief

When "Patsy" Coperilo Of New York
bought an alarm clock the other day, the
dealer assured him that he had the loud
est thing in the city, and certain man
who tried to enter Patsy" saloon, at
No. 2, 20l lst. avenue. will back up the
dealers assertions. When Patrolman
Hutchinson, of the east l04th street
station, heard the harsh sound OF the
alarm, he was not surprised, for people
get up at about O'Clock on his oeat.
When he heard the clock sounding from
the top of the transom over the door OF
the saloon he became suspicious. for even
Isl avenue "drunks" do not go to sleep
in a transom. Further investigation
showed the sounds coming from the pocket
OF young fellow who was stuck halfway
through. Hutchinson waited beneath
the trapsom and when the man dropped
caught him easily on the ny aud marched
him around to the station. There friend
of the prisoner rushed up to tell him 10
keep siff upper lip" aud vas him
self gathered in. The first prisoner,
William Studley had two alarm clocks on
him one of which was still ringing, two
quarts of whiskey under his coat and
large amount under his "belr about
fifty cigars and a small sum of money.
His friend, who had regretted that he
could not spend the night in the cell
with him, and who had been accomodat.
ed by the patrelman, said he was Viii
liam Barkdale% Both men modestly ro,
fused to say where they lived. Nagis-
trate Breen held Studley 10 81, 500 for
trial but let Bark'lale go, who no longer
expressed wish TO share cell with his
friend.
