ExoNERATED Mr. vINsoN.

l.. G. CaStleman, a white man for
merly employed as a driver by A. c..
Scudday, a furniture dealer at 206
Third avenue, North, is locked in the
police station and twelve different
charges are against him. Mr., Scud-
day is listed as prosecutor. Petit
larceny is the charge upon the books
against Castleman. He admits to
having taken eight or ten rugs and
a drugget from Mr.. Scudday."
Castleman was arrested by Detect
ives Woosley, Varley, Cummings and
Jacobs Tuesday afternoon. Twelve
nice rugs, two large druggets and
eight pair of window curtains were
brought along at the same time. Cas-
tleman says he did not want to sell
them, but wanted to beautify his
home and had been taking them home
with him from the store.
Castleman says the way he worked
it was that when rugs were sent back
from homes out in the city, in many
cases instead of taking them to the
store he would take them home and
put them on the floor.
B. Vinson, porter in the employ OF
Mr.. Scudday, was arrested and
charged with receiving stolen goods.
He declares, and Castleman bears
him Out in the statement, that he did
not take the drrgget which was found
at his place, but that Castleman had
brought it to his home in his absence
and he meant to take it back to the
store Monday" Castleman admits
that Mr.. Vinaon had several times
pleaded with him not to steal from the
firm, as it would finally get him in
trouble.

Glass Motto-:Astra mea castra,

For the first time in many years
the boys outnumber the girls in the
High School class of graduates. This
is noticeable when it is remembered
that only a few years ago there were
less than half a dozen boys in the
class. Why the number of girls is
so. small is a matter Of conjecture,
some giving n reason and some an
other. The class for next year prom
ises to be the largest in the history
of the school.
