OFFICERS Think
THEY have A DIP
Man Arrested at the Carnival
Grounds Is Held Pending
Further Investigation.

Charles BONN sat in police court
this morning and said that he was
guilty of disorderly conduct. He said
he would rather plead guilty than be
forced TO wait a number of days before
his case came to trial
The police claim that BONN is a
pickpocket He was arrested Satur-
day night at the carnival grounds by
Detective Sehnert.
The claim is made that BONN was
lifting up the coats of various male
spectators on the grounds and feeling
in their pockets. His actions, it is
claimed, were bold and that he made
but little pretense to cover up his ac-
tons is what seems surprising to the
police.
1t was deemed wise, however, to
hold him until more regarding him
could be learned. He said that he had
been in ST. Paul and Kansas City. The
case was continued until Saturday
morning and he was held under bonds
in the sum of $500.
