ON A SERIOUS CHARGE
Young White Man and Three Negroes
Taken In Custody BY Officers,
Charged With Theft.

Local officers made what they be-
lieve is an important arrest yester-
day. For some time past the Duncan
& Co. grocery firm has been missing
goods, first one thing and then an
other, and try as they would no clue
could be found. The matter was fl
nally reported to Chief of Police Per-
ry, who with Officer Gus Moore, took
the case in hand and set about to
find out where the missing articles
were going. The result was that a
young white man and three negroes
have been held, charged with steal
ing and disposing of the goods. The
plan seemed to be, as disclosed by the
officers, to take a few articles at a
time, and sell them, and then later
repeat the performance. The case
could not be handled by the city and
the charges were turned over to the
county officials.

has never won any records as a

pulled his navy reserve and fired
three big, swift bullets at the fleeing

And he reached it. However, the
chief has his name and permanent adj

They apparently invited her to take q
sail across the harbor, and she accept
ed. 1t is known that others narrowly
missed being members of the party.
Their presence might have averted
the accident, or havemade additional
victims of it.
Miss Ruth Bowyer, daughter of the
superintendent, was invited to be one
of the party, but for some reason de
clined. Miss Margaret Hall, niece of
Mr.. Frank H. Stockett, of this city,
was also invited to 60, but declined
and thus made s narrow escape. Mid
shipman Bushrod Howard, son of Cap
tain Thomas B. Howard, u. S. N, was
the roommate of Midshipman Mason,
and has been sailing with him on near
ly every afternoon since the summer
term at the Academy began. Yester-
day afternoon was an exception, and
he did not go.
Midshipman Oscar c. Badger, son
of Captain Charles J. Badger, who was
succeeded as superintendent of the
Naval Academy by Captain Bowyer,
also frequently sails with Mason and
the others, and it was rumored that he
was one of the party. This, how
ever, was untrue. 1t was reported
all over the city that both Miss Bow
yer and Midshipman Badger were
drowned. A telegram assuring the
father of young Badger of his safety
was sent promptly
The presence of Midshipman Mason
and Thomas at the Naval Academy
was due to the fact that they are
members of the Academy rifle squad,
and they relinquished the cruise by the
balance of the midshipmen to Eng
land and European ports in order to
practice for the team, and, if possible,
represent the Academy at the ma
tional matches which are to be shot
at Camp Perry, o., beginning about
August 20. 1t was strange fatality
that this is the last sail which the
young men could have taken this sea
son, as the plans had all been made
for the squad to leave for Wakefield,
Mass, today.
Lieut.. Commander Hilary Williams,
the coach of the team, had made ar
rangement for the local squad to do
their final practice work at the Navy
range at that place, and Mason and
Thomas were to leave with the others
this morning. 1t was because of
the fact that preparations for de-
parture had to be made that some
of those who usually made up the
parties did not go.
Had the party been larger the
chances of its bad termination would
have been much less. 1t is under
stood that Mrs. Bowyer could not
swim at all and that Thomas was
not a great swimmer. Mason was
