COOK STOVE STOLEN;
POOR WITHOUT SOUP
As a Result. Three Colored Men Are
Sentenced to Serve Sixty Days
in Occoauan..

street northwest: George Brown. Of II Lo-
gan place. and Knox Young. Of n Fenton

And thereby hangs a story. Early last
week. Mrs. Arthur Martin, OF 3s New
York avenue northwest, sent q stove to
the Circle Settlement that hot soup
might be prepared each day for the poor.
She hired the three men to take the stove
to the settlement and gave them 50 cents.
They took the stove there all right. and
helped put II up. The next day, accord
ing to Detectives Beckley and Carroll, the
two colored sleuths OF the central office
detective force. the three men went back
to the settlement and said they had left
the stove At the wrong address.
They took II away, carried II twenty
blocks and sold it to a junk dealer for
s. cents. The junk dealer refused to buy
fthc stove unless they broke II up. which
they did. As a result there was no hot
soup to be handed out to the poor during
