ENCOUNTERED A vAe-A vag

named Ware was sent to Jail a short
time ago for ten days and soon after
made his escape from the chain gang.
Yesterday Officer Castor found him
again and restored him to his former
dignified quarters in the city Jail. The
police are not usually very regretful
when one of these gentry makes his
escape, but once gone they want him
to stay away. To come back again
and stand on the street and look cross
eyed at the officers is adding insult to
injury.

TRESPASSERS- Saturday night the
police were summoned to take charge
of a couple OF men who were found
sleeping in room they had not hired
in one of the local hotels. One of the
men had a key to the room and had
brought the other in as his guest. The
guest. becoming weary. lay down on
the floor and went to sleep and his
host crawled into bed. On being ar
rested the man with the key said he
had rented and paid for the room the
night before and had just retained the
key, thinking ne might want to use
the room again and, if s. he would
pay for it. This story was later proved
to be true though the landlord had
not understood things when he sent
for the officers. But. at any rate. the
proceeding was irregular. so a dollar
was collected for the landlord and the
man discharged.

arrested a Mexican on Washington
street, considering him under the in
fluence of liquor and having a bicycle
in his possession. Two other Mexicans
followed the pair to the city hall,
where one of them claimed the owner

denied the claim. saying he had Dor
rowed the wheel of another Mexican

hall and said he lived on the Murphy
ranch and had loaned his wheel to
the man in Jail. who in the meantime
had been transferred to the county au-

men of the company had put up
barricade and light at one end of the
open ditch. Another light was back
midway between that point and the
sidewalk last crossed by the ditch.
The horse was jogging along at very
moderate gait and the driver says ne
purposely drove between the two
lights as. according to his observation.
it has been customary to place a light
at either end of the indicated drive
way in such street conditions. In this
case il was intended that the end of
the ditch should be driven around, but
there being only single light at that
end the driver was led astray.

STUFF CANDY
COMPANY is
yFE1MlzED
Former EmbIoye Accused of
Making Wholesale Raids on
Warehouse Of Concern.

A big sugar steal, which probably
has been going on for several months,
and the cost OF the sugar stolen will
amount to hundreds of dollars, has
been turned up by Detective T. J..
Moore and the police are now work
ing on the case. II is likely an ar
rest will be made in the next few
days. The sugar is all supposed to
have come from the Stutz candy fac
tory and has been sold by the barrel
and sack to local business men.
With Just an hour and twenty min
utes work DETECTIVE Moore found out
that two barrels of sugar we're sold
to Otie Overstreet, a grocer, at
Twelfth and Jefferson streets; three
sacks TO A. ]. Hogan. on Kentucky
avenue; one sack to Jim Sheriff., a
saloop keeper on North Fourth street,
and one sack at Richardson's gro
Gerry on Kentucky avenue. The SUI
gar was sold below wholesale price
at all these places, the price ranging
from so to IS a sack, and with each
sale a plausible story was told the
purchaser before the sale was made
II is a fine grade OF graduated sugar,
which Is used by the Stutz Candy
company in making its finest condy.
The story unearthed by the detec-
tive is that the thief Is a white man.
who was at one time In the employ
of the Stutz Candy company. The
sugar was stolen by this man from
the candy factory IN the early hours
of the morning. The thief had key to
the rear entrance of the factory. The
sugar was trucked to the door on one
OF the Stutz trucks, hidden back of
the factory til some negro express
man couif be secured to haul II away.
Every time the sugar was hauled
from the rear of the factory a diff
ferent wagon driver was employed.
Mr.. p. e. Stutz when asked If he
had missed any sugar before he
knew Of the sugar steal, said that he
had been so busy and short of help
that he hadn't time to think about
any one stealing sugar. but he had
noticed that great deal OF sugar
was being used for the amount of
candy that was made. Mr. Stutz Is
making an investigation today to
and out II the sugar all came from
HIS factory and II 1t did how much
was taken. All the wholesale gro
GERS in the city. who handle that par
ticulsr brand Of sugar. have checked
up the sugar on hand and none Of
them discovered shortage.
