being made by w. d. Crawford, the
elevator agent, who saw Taylor in the
act of entering the elevator. Defendant
Was held for trial at the next term of
court and in default of bail was remand
ed to the county Jail. 1t appears that
Taylor had been noticed around town
for a week before his arrest and a few
days before had purchased Il couple
of dozen grain sacks at one of the stores,
which be explained at the hearing as
having been bought for the purpose of
holding seed corn he was going to buy.
When arrested in the elevator he had
twenty-three of the grain sacks with
him, the other sack was found after
wards in one of the bins already partly
filled with wheat. As near as can be

Manitoba and some of his actions would
