COULDN'T SWALLOW STORY.
Court Doesn't Credit Marvellous
Tale of Stolen Wheel.

Tale Of Stolen Wheel.
Whether it was lie or a story due
to mistaken Imagination John Smith told,
puzzled the presiding Judge in the Police
Court yesterday.
Smith gave an interesting and plausi-
BILE recital Of how he came into possession
Of a stolen bicycle. He was charged with
stealing the wheel.
He bought the wheel, a brand-new one.
SO he said, last March. from a private
citizen for $50. He didn't know the citi-
zen's name, but could identify him II he
ever saw him again. In fact, Smith as
serted he had been on a still hunt for
the former owner for some time because
lamp hadn't been included in the bar
gain.
Smith was afraid to keep the wheel at
home because his kid brother and his
companions might be tempted to ride It,.
The wheel was harbored at the house of
4 friend-name and address given. I'm
fortunately the friend could not testify in
his behalf because he and his family left
for Pittsburg two weeks ago. Smith vol
unteered to telegraph.
He painted the wheel, too. several times.
because everything from a brick house to
q window frame should be painted in the
spring and tall to make 1t tidy. Smith
assured the court he was the most scru-
pulously neat person imaginable, and
couldn't tolerate anything about him
which didn't look spick and, span and
new and shiny.
Smiths story had been Investigated by
Detectives Mullen and Hewlett of the
central office. Though it might be true.
1t couldn't be verified.
The Judge could not credit the story
and imposed an absolute sentence of nine
months in jail.
The wheel was alleged to have been
stolen, October Is. from Hubert Smith.
Smith identified it as his property. 1t
was turned over to him.

Regarding TWo Public Matters.

The Commissioners will give hearing
at II O'Clock next Tuesday morning with
reference to a proposed regulation to pro-
hibit the stabling of horses above the

makes such prohibition in any building
except one that is fireproof throughout.
but the chief engineer of the fire depart

that the inf1ammability Of the contents Of

animals stabbed above, by suffocation
from smoke and gases. even If the build
ing is fireproof and the flames cannot
reach them.
