UN7RUSTWORT7Y TRUSTEES"
 ORGANIZE 4 PLUlNDERBLlND

the jail. which are known as the "plunder rooms
 For some time past. Patrolman Ev- ans, who has charge of the plunder rooms has noticed that ..rticles mys- teriOusly disappeared Sometimes it was an overcoat, sometimes a suit Of clothes, sometimes this article and sometimes that Evans knew there were but two keys to these rooms, one being held by himself. while he had the utmost confidence in the holder of the other. So he was somewhat mystified as to how the irticlcswere abstracted from the rooms, and to how they ultimately found their way to second hand stores and pawnshops.
 He was reasonably certain, from the first that the "trusties" were respon- sible for the abstraction >f the arti- cles from the plunder rooms. no mat ter what the method employed. and that the goods were delivered to the fence in tn police court room, which has a separate entrance to the street. during the early evning, after the days session of court.
 Several evenings were -pent in hid ing in the police court roo mby Mir. Evans, but without avail. Yesterday afternoon. about 5 o'clock, lac heard voices in the court room from the street and went at once .o the foot of the court room stairs. where he arrested Wiliams as he came down. A search of Williams revealed fine Dadies' skirt, which was recognized d as formerly having been in the plum der room. stuffed into his trousers.
 Things happened rapidly from that time on. and resulted in ,be arrest and appearance before Recorder Ba- Der later in the afternoon. of Jackson and Brooks on the charge of larceny of the skirt. and of Williams for re- ceiving stolen property. Jackson and Williams. as stated. were given sixty and ninety days in Jail. and Brooks. who it seemed had not ben concerned in the theft of the skirt. was let go.
 It seems the articles were abstrac- ted from the locked plunder rooms by means of wire hooks. inserted be- tween the bars of the cell windows from the adjoining corridor. They were taken at the convenience of the "trusties." and then given to their companion on the outside at a previ- ously appointed rendezvous in the court room. The outside man sold them. met the ''trustes' and divided the proceeds equally among those con- cerned,

Two ngro "trusties" who were far from being trustworthy; negro companion on the outside: the three so steped in the desire for stealing that they were unable to restrain themselves, even though two of the three were inmats of the city prisons. with long terms to serve. and sharp eyed policeman. who detected the thcvery going on in the jail and could not be deterred from locatir g the thieves and proving thoir crimes.
 These four, with Recorder Baber. were the personae of vry intrest- ing drama that has ben played at pr- lice headquarters during the past few days. the last few acts winding up with a whirlwind flash yesterday af- ternoon.
 As d result of the efforts of Patrol man Harry C. Evans. Recorder Babcr yesterday. as the last scene of tue drama. sentenced darker Jackson, al- ready an inmate of the city prison. with sentences aggregating 42S days confinement, for various acts of thievery. to sixty days additional time. the new term to commence upon the expiration of those he is now serv- ing. and sam Williams, the outside man" in the conspiracy for the rob ping of the jail, and himself d pct y thief with d record of four p"eyious convictions in the Recorders cou-:, to serve ninety days in prison. Geot se Brooks. the second gro trusty" about the jail. who wls ,rig,1ally sentenced to 412 days tn prison as the partner of Jackson, was let go on the charge of robo:ns the priscE. as no evidence could ba SC 'urcj of his participation in the .'rIne.
 In the Montgomery jrison, in every similar establishment through out the land. there accumulates, from day to day. an immense quantity of stolen goods for which no claimants Is appear. or which. having been recov- cred by the police. are donated by the rightful owners to the department. These goods are allowed to gather for a few months, awaiting claimants, and when it seems certain none is to ap- pear, they are sold at auction.
 In Montgomery. these ooods are recognized as the property of the Po- lice Benevolent Association, the pro- ceeds going to the relief of any mem ber of the force who is injured or falls i'll, thus becoming unable U" work Before their sale at auction. the goods are kept in two cells or

GAME IS PROTESTED.

Anderson. Ind. Feb 2.-Anderson de- feated Lafayette here Monday night in game which is accompanied by protest, the score being , to 0.
 To begin with, Chauncey Arundel the much hated referee here. put i1Gpis appearance with the one intention or officiating the game. The management refused to allow him to even get on the floor and as result he forfeited the game to Lafayette by score or to 0.
 The local management sent word to President Foor and he gave them the privilege of selecting another referee. and Fire Chief Afford of this city was selected. and the game resulted in a score of ] to in favor of Anderson. The Lafayette management intends to protest and the affair will be settleL later. The contest was slow and list less, being featured at times by the fast work of Woedtke and Pierce and the sensational goal tending Of Mitch ell. who played in place of Tibbitts for Lafayette.
 The contest was clean. although five fouls were called. which caused the visitors to lose the only goal they scored. Lineup and score: Anderson. Position. Lafayette. Pierce Houghton. First rush.

 In his work with Fred Beell. the light heavyweight. who is believed Joy many to he the greatest mat man of his pounds in the world. Crosby showed skill of such nature that he was urged to take up the work Of cam paigning. The athlete. however. passed up n chance to tour with the Beell camp in order to devote his attention to athletic interests in Boston and vi- einity. Crosby has also been visiting New England cities as the business i representative of manufacturing house and while in this city he learned of Harness wrestling standing.
