N CARTHY IS GUILTY
THOUGH PETTY LARCENIST
MUST GO TO PEhETEhTIARY
This i His Third Offense and Con-
sequently He Goes TO the
State Prison.

Thomas Mccarthy. charged with
the theft OF tent, was found guilty
saturday of petit larceny. Mccarthy
seems to have a longing to become
The possessor OF sundry and various
articles. which to the average bache-
lor would seem to be irreyelant and
immaterial.
When mis- room was searched after
his arrest considerable over a hun
dred dollars worth Of different arti-
cles from an Indian blanket to table
cloths and babies bear skin coats
as we'll as orocheting cotton. To all
appearances Mccarthy has made it a
point not to overlook any clothes
lines that might come within his
jurisdiction and from the variety of
articles in his possession he must
rave had large territory.
As this is the third time Mccarthy
has been convicted on a petit larceny
charge it means a pentitentiary sen
,ence.
