This morning he awoke sans money and watch. He reported at police headquarters and detectives got busy They found he had been in company with two young men about town and was put to sleep" in a room over Charley Nelson's saloon in lower Cont Street. William Hart, a machtnist was arrested about noon and he was found to have Swet's watch, about $35 in cash and receipt for $40 from Nel- son in his clothes. Hart claimed Swet gave him the money to keep for him Hart opened up to the police as to who his "friend'' was and this afternoon Earl Sandezo well known about town was landed. At headquarters he ad- mitted being with Hart and Swet, but denies anything of a crooked nature. The matter will be aired in the police court tomorrow morning.
 A gentleman giving his name as J. R. Parsons, claiming Meridian as his home, spent several days in Mobile. A number of Mobilians from what is learned, are sorry, very sorry, he came though not to any great amount in any one case. Robert Schwarz, a livery man, said to The Advertiser tonight that Parsons hired a rig from him. gave check TOT $0 on the tlrst Ma tional Bank of Meridian, and 1t was returned with information that this was the tenth from Mobile, and nc funds were in bank to meet them.
 Mir Schwarz was kind enough to give Parsons the benefit of the doubt Insofar as the money was concerned. Others here. 1t is said. are not feeling so generous towards the well-appear- ing gentleman.
