STOLE TWO 1oAvFs OF BREAD.
Story Told by Negro to the Local
Police

1O1lCSs
I'm a stranger, didn't have no money
and was hungry said Noah Moore COL
ored man from North Carolina, yesterday
afternoon after he had been arrested by
Policeman Cole of the fourth precinct and
charged with the theft Of two loaves of
bread.
do? he asked
Moore was arrested after an exciting pur-
suit and some hard work on the part of
three members of the police force 1t is al
legged that he jumped into bakers deliv-
cry wagon near 10th street and Virginia
avenue and grabbed the bread. Policeman
Cole happened to be near the scene of the
alleged theft and started in pursuit of the
North Caroinian. He was almost winded
when he reached the river front and was
somewhat relieved when he saw his man
take refuge in lumber pile. The badly
frightened stranger crawled through a small
opening until he was quite distance from
the outer edge of the lumber pile. All the
policeman said to him did not cause him
to come out and surrender. The policeman
tried his persuasive powers, and then in
dulged in the use of threatening language,
butnto no purpose.
Sergt. DUNCAN and Policeman Stevenson
appeared upon the scene and rendered their
services. The latter crawled through the
opening and fastened rope about one Of the
mans legs. Backing out to the opening he
attached the rope to a block and the police
men tugged away until they had succeeded
In drawing the colored man from his hid
ing place. He was about exhausted when
he was taken from the lumber pile and was
so badly frightened that he could hardly
talk. The patrol wagon was summoned and
he was taken to the fourth precinct police
station where he was given square meal
and locked up. Tomorrow he will have to
face Judge Scott and explain why, he took
the bread. Some charitable person may
then come forward and assist him.

All human history attests that hap
piness for men, the hungry sim
ner, since Eve ate apples, much
depends on dinner-Byron.
There is much wholesome truth
concealed in this clever couplet of
Byron's. We are apt to attach too
little Importance to the selection of
foods that bring with them health
and strength without which there is
neither happiness nor success.
Those who have given the most
careful thought to the subject know
that Egg-O-See is the one food
upon which "the hungry sinner"
may absolutely depend. 1t is rich
in nutriment and building qualities.
It's analysis shows a very large per-
centage of the elements that give
strength and vitality, and it is not
only extremely palatable but easily
assimilated.
Egg-O-See is always fresh and
crisp, the package being germ proof,
air-tight and inner lined.
Ii you are one of the few who
have not yet tried Egg-O-See you
are missing breakfast, luncheon
or dinner treat. Begin now.

typewriter matter to the State Board
of Equalization Wednesday. He pre-
sented every conceivable form of sta
tistics to show that the Colorado &
Southern has been Disseminated
against in its assessments. He gave
the average gross earnings of all rail-
roads In the United States at $9.410
per mile and the Colorado & Southern
at $5,0s4 indicating that its gross earn
ings fall $4,326 below the general av-
erage. The net earnings of all roads

ments made on property other than

state through which the road runs, he
alleged the increase on the assess
ments OF the road was sixty per cent.
while the increase on other property
was only fifty.four per cent. He said
the assessment of railroad property
was not financial or a political ques-
tion, but moral one.
