MISTAKEN IDENTITY
Young Men Arrested for Horse
Stealing, But a Mistake
Was Apparent.
Identified BY ONE MAN

On suspicion of having been con-
nected with the theft of horse and
rig belonging to Rollo Gray of Win
chester. on August 26. Clay and Dale
Brooks were arrested this morning
by the local police. After severe
cross examination lasting all morning
which failed to disclose any evidence
tending to implicate them in any way,
the young men were released at the
request of Attorney Roscoe f. Kirk

Notwithstanding the fact that the

lieved to be a case of mistaken iden-

knowledge of the theft. In consider

A FOOL ABOUT DOGS
Wealthy San Francisco Wom-
an Will Have a Dead
Pet Stuffed.
FORTUNE ON HER ANIMALS
american News SerVice)

San Francisco Dec l5.-Having
achieved a reputation for spending
money on her pet dogs when they are
i'll as freely as rich mother would on
her children, Miss Jennie Crocker has
now gone that one better by shipping
the carcass of one of her dead pets to
New York to be stuffed.
Costly cablegrams. expensive tele-
graph tolls. the hire of ambulances and
the services of expert veterinarians
are the result of a severe illness at her
kennel at Ell Critic where she keeps a
collection of Boston terriers and hat
cared French bulldogs. purchased at
prices highly remuneratlve to the East
ern dog fanciers. who are said to have
tapped her bank account for twenty
five thousand dollars at one time and
another.
Endcliffe Tortora was the name of
the dead terrier that was sent East to-
day to be skinned stuffed and fixed
up with glass eyes, false ribs. plaster
teeth and all other accessories of the
taxidermist's art.
1t is said Miss Crocker paid $1,000
for this dog during a Boston dog show
where the terrier was exhibited by f.
J. Carkins, Danvers, Mass, man, and
won prizes.

He was arrested about two months ago,

city. Thompson denied the fact that
he was drunk this morning and said
that he had been drinking nothing but
coffee.

MAY NOT make DEAL
Dispute Over Price Between
County and CenterviIIe
For Land.
FOR A PAUPER CEMETERY

The deal whereby the county com.
missioners expected to purchase an
acre of ground of the Centerville Gem
etery association, to be used as coun-
ty pauper burying ground. has fallen
through unless the council of Center
vile reduces its price. At the meet
ing of the Centerville council last even.
ing, G. r. Wiley, chairman of the coun-
ty commissioners. and Walter Com
mons. president of the council. offered
the council $500 for an acre. The
county also offered to pay $40 year
for the upkeep of the cemetery.
This morning W1lfred Jessup, as rep.
resentative of town council, presented
the councils proposition which was tc
sell the ground at 1852 and the county
pay $40 a year for upkeep.
Mr.. Wiley stated that unless the
council met the commissioners price
the county would go ahead and improve
the pauper burying grounds at the
poor farm.

Popular Branch of Uncle
Sans Fighting Service
Has Office Here.
ARE IN THE LIMELIGHT NOW
DEPENDED ON TO MAKE RE-
CRUiTiNG LIVELY FOR SOME
TIME TO COME.

Sergeant Harry Ortman opened up
an office at the Brunswick hotel to-
day for the purpose of enlisting men
for the United States Marine corps.
Sergeant Ortman stated that he is ex-
pecting this city and vicinity to be
an excellent field to pick from. Rec
ords show that when an office was
opened in Richmond several years ago
many local young men enlisted in this
! branch of the service.
In view Of the Nicaraguan difficulty
there is greater interest in TIA, marine
service now than there has been for
some time. In all probability before
the matter is finally adjusted the U.
s. marine corps will be called upon to
quell the controversy With the idea
of perhaps seeing actual service, it is
| thought that many local young men
| will readily grasp the opportunity
now afforded to enlist in the marines
An Attractive Life.
A marines four years enlistment is
divided as much as possible, between
foreign duty sea duty and shore duty
| in the United States. Many a marine
| casts longing glance toward the for
eign duty. Aside from the novelty of
the service in the tropics, where the
rustic of the bamboo is intermingled
with the crys of strange wild birds;
where great punches of yellow banan-
as, green plantations and well loaded
mango trees ripen side by side with
the ever interesting and productive
cocoanut trees. there are many pursuits
of pleasure for the marine who may
be sent there.
The tropics hold a peculiar fascina-
ton for young men and, inasmuch as
the chances for foreign duty are great
err at present than for years past the
enlistment in this city within the next
few weeks, it is thought, will be
larger than ever before.
