Charlie. Ellsworth Turns a Trick on
Patrolman at Sioux City.
Sioux March 1.-While being
searched at the police station Charles
Ellsworth, a plain drunk, turned the
tables on Patrolman Nelson and
"frisked" the cop" at the same time
he was going thru the process of being
relieved of everything on his person.
While Nelson was taking a few old
papers from the drunk's pockets, Ellis
worth deived into the side coat pock-
cts of the policeman and secured a new
pair of gloves.
1t was not until after Nelson had
left the station, having put Ellsworth
in the Dull pen," that he discovered
his loss. He in turn searched himself,
but failed to find the gloves. A hunt
over the police station did not reveal
the missing articles and as a posi-
bility, a trip to the Jail was made.
There Ellsworth was found fondly
looking over his stolen possessions. AS
the policeman came to the barred
door, the smile left his face and he
shyly slipped the gloves into his
pockets. When searched" a second
time, he gave up the gloves, as half
grin flooded his face.

In order to determine whether or

peen started in police court, prose-
cuted by the attorneys OF the Citizens

stated that this is one OF the steps OF

Claim Violation Of Code.
The information against FORD and
Pumroy charges the violation OF three
sections Of the code OF Iowa, 2,427,
2,419 and 2,42l. The defendants are
accused OF having III their possession
Intoxicating liquors and not being
legally authorized to sell or use the
same; OF conveying such liquor to one
not permit holder; and not having
the three cases OF beer labelled as ~
Jaw required.
The testimony of Alva Fielder, the
arreGtiEg officer, formed the evidence
OF the prosecution, the state resting
placed on the stand. When asked
where he had intended taking the three
cases, he declared that one went to the
Eagles hall but that he had not looked
at the addresses on the other two. The
cases were then brought into court.
The labels showed them to be con-
signed to the three individuals in care
Of the Eagle hall The hearing was
then continued.
The main point In this case is the
legal right of the men to carry the
beer. The prosecution claims the men
were delivering the liquor to one no,
holding permit as required by law.
