Sister Anna made it clear that
she did not mind waiting. Then
the conversation drifted to the
subject of a former talk about
artificial hearts made of India

according to Sister Anna, tnever

No; he thought that he had pro-

that he did SO; but the will could
never be found, so everything
went to his brother.
His brother? But why did not

Henry Rivers Of the police depart

day morning returned with Walter
Miller who is wanted in that city on
| the charge of larceny. The officer
was at the county Jail but few min
utes yesterday morning but from the
little information that he gave Sheriff
Fred Godfrey it is presumed that
Clark is charged with stealing a sum
OF money and gold watch from some
person in Burlington. a

middle of January as a person having

iclpalSJudge r. H. Holden gave him
a sentence of two months in the coun-
ty Jail. While Miller who gave the
name of Clark, was in Jail he receiy-
ed letters from his mother in Burling-
ton in which she advised him to get
out of the state and go to Dannemora
where he has relatives. In a letter
received shortly before the close of
his sentence she, sent him SIS, which.
she stated would pay his car fare to
Dannemora.
On the day of his release Miller be-
came intoxicated, was arrested and
returned to Jail and on the 18th of the
present month was again sentenced
by Judge Holden, this time to ten
days.
In the meantime the authorities
here, convinced from the letters of
Miller's mother that the young man
had been involved in some trouble at
Burlington, communicated with the
chief of police in that city and we're
requested to hold Clerk until an Off
Ger could be sent for him.
Miller was considerably surprised
