SOLDIER EARRESTED
FOR STEALING MACHINE

Capt. w. B. Cochran s automobile
was stolen from near Fort Ruger on
Saturday night, and b. G.. Palmer, a
soldier, is under arrest and suspected
of having stolen the machine.
Sidney Turner, a well-known resident
of the red dirt district, while on his
way to his home in Nineteenth avenue,
on Saturday night, was approached by
a soldier who looked hard at him but
said nothing.
Turner slipped his hand into a coat
pocket wherein repOsed a large and
perfectly good gun, and the soldier
took the hint and beat it.
Walking along little further on
Turner met an automobile driven by a
boy and with another boy inside. The
boys said that they had seen a soldier
jump out of the car near Waialae road
and Fifteenth avenue, leaving the auto
standing there. They asked Turner
where they could find a policeman and
he told them to drive to the FIRE station.
The boys drove the car to the fire
station and there found Satisfaction
Officer San Ferreira, who, after hearing
what the boys had to say, drove the
car to the police station and went out
after the thief.
