ARRESTED FOR
GRAND LARCENY

A young man giving his name
as Henry Severson was arrested
by Deputy Sheriff Geo. Boggs
last week and placed in the city
Jail. The fellow is charged with
stealing a watch from the resi-
denc of young lady who resides
on Beaver creek.
From his story Severson was
enroute from Baker to Ekalaka
and passed the young ladies
house. Here he stopped to take
on the big feed" but finding
nobody at home and nothing
such as fried chicken, cream
puffs, etc. awaiting him, pro-
ceeded to ransack the house. He
finally got into a trunk where he
found the watch, which he puts
into his pocket and proceeds on
his journey. When he arrived
here he sold the watch to Wilcox
the butcher who took it to Wilson
and Olsen's jewelry store to have
it repaired. 1t was here that
the young ladies name was found
inside of the back cover of the
watch and the fact made known
that it was stolen property. Will
cox hunted up Severson and had
him placed under arrest. Satur-
day morning Severson broke the
lock off of the door at the Jail
and made his escape but was
later captured at the Geo. Cleve-
land ranch on Box Elder. He is
now spending his time living on
the county, awaiting hearing be-
fore the local justice of the peace
on the charge of grand larceny
and breaking Jail.
