|. F. HOUSE ROBBED
Suspects to Deed Foun d
Guilty on Other
Charges

The Little Falls House was visited
by sneak thieves Tuesday evening
sometime between & and O'Clock and
several of the rooms of the dodgers ran.
sacked and robbed of different articles
to the value OF about $40. Two watch
chains, three raZors, three rings and a
pair OF gloves were among the booty
secured by the burglars Lorenz
Dombova, Jos. St. Martin, l. Burgess
and Bob Wynn were victims. Mr..
Dombova discovered his loss q little
after O'Clock at which time he
turned in the alarm.
Herbert Vogel and George Brown,
who registered at that hostelry as from
Seattle and Chicago respectively on
Monday, We're arrested as suspects
that evening at about 10 80 O'Clock
near the American House corner and
were lodged in the county Jail. None
OF the stolen property was found in
their possession, but the local auth
critics are under the impression that
there was a third party and that he
got away with the booty.
The stories of the two men as to
when, where and how they met do not
agree. Pending the securing Of more
evidence against the prisoners, the
men were taken before Justice Randall
on other charges. They had been
drinking and were out with a couple
girls that evening just after the bur.
glary is supposed to have taken place.
Wednesday afternoon George Brown
pleaded guilty to the charge of va
grancy and was sentenced to ten days
in the county Jail.
His partner, Herbert Vogel, had to
tace a more serious charge, Miss
Hattie Kaminski who had gone for a
stroll with him the previous evening.
in company with Brown and another
girl, preferring charge Of assault
and battery against him. The court
found defendant guilty and gave him
a straight Jail sentence of forty days
in the county bastile.
