ALLEGED COAT THIEF IS
 TAKEN
Added to Charge of Stealing
 Will Be One of Issuing Bad Orders.

A man giving his name to the off, cers who arrested him last evening as Ryan, but known to have gone under the name of Frank O'Neil, which latter name he used when he issued to Otto Giesenhofer worthless orders for meal tickets procured at the Edelweiss res taurant, was taken into custody last evening by Officer Jay Wilmoth on a warrant charging him with the theft of wearing apparel from the Maze sa- loon at an early hour Monday morning.
 O'Neil, or Ryan, in company with another man whose identity remains unknown to the. authorities, entered the Maze saloon last Monday in the wee small hours that precede the dull gray of day, and begged Bartender Gilkey for a drink to assuage their consuming thirst. They were refus- ed. Shortly after their departure a coat, the property of one Foley, and a hat belonging to Gilkey, were missing. The officers have been on the hunt for O'Neil ever since, and were reward ed last night by catching him.
 At the Edelweiss, where he seems to be best known, it is said that he came to Bisbee on or about April 24, WorklnS at that time Tor lew ShlftS at one of the mines here. He gave to Otto Giesenhofer an order on the Cop per Queen Consolidated Mining Co., for s in payment for a meal ticket. Later he also gave other orders, claim ing to be an employe at the Junction shaft. All of the orders have proven worthless.
 He is said to have spent most of his time hanging about the saloons and the Edelweiss, at which latter place he has been a nuisance to the walters and cashier, from whom he has con- tinually begged food. At no time has he showed any symptoms of having been engaged at any permanent em- ployment.
 The evidence upon. which the author ities hope to convict their man of the charge preferred against him lies in
