CHARGE
OF BURGLARY
James Coleman Placed Under Arrest
Police Have Strong Evidence.

James Coleman was arrested by
Officer Tom Tabor this morning on the
charge of burglary and Is now lodged
in the city Jail awaiting hearing. The
allegation against Coleman Is that he
has stolen shoes and other articles of
wearing apparel from the annex OF the
Hotel De France.
The Immediate cause for his arrest
was the stealing of pair of gloves
from a mans overcoat in one of the
rooms of the building this morning
The man losing the gloves identified
them In Colemans possession and had
him arrested.
The facts are now developed that
Coleman, who is himself stopping ir
the building, has been breaking intf
/ the rooms for two or three days pas
and appropriatns whatever he coulc
/ find. He first stole a pair of shoes
which he sold, and yesterday took fou
pairs of shoes and suit of clothes

taking the gloves, but was detected be
fore he could go further.
There is no doubt that he Is a pro
fessional yeegman. He came TO tn
city two days ago and has been YER
busy since his arrival. The case agains
him is so strong that the officers ar
confident ne will plead guilty and TAX
sentence without standing trial.
