RECOVER
STOLEN
PANTS

Wo Young men, negroes, were ar
rested just before noon today accused
ol stealing "A pair OF pants from the
Treadwell Clothing store this morn
ing
The manner OF the theft was not
new at all but was rather smoothly
carried out.
The two negroes came in together
and one said he wished to see some
pants; Leslie Austin, ever ready to
show goods. started in to the task OF
making a sale and while he and his
prospective customer, as he thought,
were discussing prices the other negro
passed toward the back door to the
store remarlSing as he passed, and with
his hand on his stomach, Il feels dat
al pain coming back ag'f and pass
ed on out.
Soon the absent negro returned and
the other remarking that he believed
he would look around littlev the
two departed. Then Austin. who had
his suspicious aroused when the negro
went out in the rear OF the store,
began search; under the back stairs
to the &c. he found the goods, d
choice pair OF trousers, where the me-
gro had evidently hid them.
Austin now notified the police and
Aleecum and BalIew were sent in an
swer to the call. suspecting that the
negroes would soon return for the
goods, Ballew was stationed just in
side the store at the back window
where he could see an approach 10 the
&c stairway. while Meecum went on
the west where he could look down
the alley In the rear of the store; they
did not have TO wait long until the
young man who had complained OF an
afflicted stomach. came into the alley
and started to view the surrounding
Meecum at once arrested him. Later
the other young man was arrested in
front " the Savoy pool room.
The two negroes were taken into
police court where they plead guilty
and we're fined $40 and costs each.
