 A bold robbery was committed yesterday morning at the home of Mrs Sarah Green on Hotchkiss street, when an open faced silver watch was stolen from the kitchen
 while Mrs Green was in the cellar getting coal. Mrs Peterson, who re- sides on the first floor, gave a de- scription of the man she had seen coming down the stairs, and Jake Baurer, who had also seen the man come from the house, went to look for him. It seems that the same fel- low had asked him for work yester- day and when he met the man on the street yesterday morning he told him to accompany him to his cobbler shop and he would give him work. He hoped to hold the fellow until the police could be notified. The man started to walk along with him and some one notified Chief-of-Police Schmidt. Just as Baurer and the stranger reached the corner of Maple and Water streets the latter espied Chief Schmidt coming toward them, and, leaving Baurer, started on a run up North Water street. He did not succeed in getting away, however. as he was stopped by H. Marcus and Chief Schmidt placed him under ar rest. He said his name was Carl Beckstrom and that his home was in Boston. He denied that he had stolen the watch and claimed that he had not been in the house on Hotchkiss street. He said he had been in that neighborhood, but claimed he was looking for a friend. No watch was found on his person, hut he was held for trial.
