Had It not been for the influence
of Captain of Police Link Bond, an
aspirant for the office Of chief of po-
lice under the new mayor, would
have been arrested Thursday on the
charge of stealing a cart and lift
ing coal from an Erie car.
A man pretty warm under the col
lar, appeared at police headquarters
and vowed that he would file an af-
fidavit against the would be chief. He
claimed that he had the desired proof
and declared that the guilty party
had stolen a steel cart from his wood
shed. Realizing the sensation that
would result Captain Bond persuaded
the angry citizen to overlook the mat
ter and keep sweet.
1t was narrow escape for the am

not pulled into police court can be
credited to the efforts of Captin Bond
