Arrested For Stealing.
Once In Good Circumstances,
Now Reduced to Poverty.

Standing in police court in Philadelphia
charged with the theft of an umbrella,
and claiming that he stole it with the in
tention of selling it, in order to get few
cents to appease his hunger, J. Wright
Barrick, a native of Rocky Ridge, this
county, and at one time in business at
Double Pipe Creek, told pitiful story.
A dispatch from Philadelphia states
Barrick said:
ii have not eaten meal since We'd
nesday morning, and had to do some'
thing to keep from starving. ! never
drank drop of liquor in my life, and |
will do any kind of work that is honest. y
Investigation in this county brought
forth the information that Barrick had
at one time conducted grain and lnm-
Der business. He married in wealthy
Philadelphia family, His brothersinlaw
started him In business several times,
but each time he failed. After some
wears his conduct became such that his
wife left him.
1t is claimed that Barrick has been
drinking for some years, and that now
his wife's family will have nothing to DO
with him.
