that parade Of all stock exhibited be

while lettering about one Of the city
parks, on q charge Of larceny of silver
ware from the residence of his former
employer and belonging to MIS-. Leach.
1t is understood that part of the miss
ing vsluables were found on his person
when search was instituted after ar
rest. He was arraigned before Squire
Olmstead Tuesday morning. and bound
over for the action Of the circuit court
at its fall term.
Young Green had been given his
pay and discharged by his employer
only . short time before the discovery
Of the missing silverware, and suspic-
ion immediately pointed to he and
Richard Dunlap, the young man given
fne and jail sentence by Judge
Patrick for carrying concealed weap-
ons, the two having been employed to-
gether. Sheriff Huuis iston was notified
and made the arrest shortly afterward
while the mon were taking life easy
in one of the parks.
Rich6td Dunlap, one Of the young
men arrested here Monday In connec-
tion With the silverware robbery at the
homo Of L. W. Leach, Was found to
have q pistol on bis person sitter the
arrest, and the evidence not being
sufficient to try him on . charge Of
larceny, he was arraigned before Judge
Patrick Of the county court Tuesday
morning ON the charge of carrying
concealed weapons. Judge Patrick
fully. explained the Law covering such
oflenso. giving the maximum and
minimum penalty. and after this the
young man entered plea Of guilty to
tho charge. He was fined $50 and
costs aud in addition was given jail
sentence Of ninety days.
Az explained by Judge Patrick, the
Law against this ofIenss 10 very plain,
aud he says that il enforcing it will
stop tho practice Of carrying concealed
weapons. il will be stopped in territory
under his Jurisdiction. Offenders may
expect to get the maximum penalty II

to the evidence produced at this hear

divorce proceedings will not be pushed
further. A review Of the case dis
closes mauy allegations on the part Of
the pIaiatin, but the New Era is not
inclined to air family troubles, even
after they hsve reached the divorce
