CHARGED WITH THE
THEFT OF 80 CENTS

Charged with the theft Of fifty
cents, negro named Emory Nelson
was arrested yesterday, and is now
held in the city Jail as dangerous
and suspicious character. The war
rant on which Nelson was arrested
was sworn out by Robert Schiller, col
ored, who alleges that he was the in
jured party.
Schiller alleged that Nelson had
helped himself to the proceeds of a
fish peddling trip some time during
yesterday. It was represented that a
fifty cent piece was taken from the
can which is used to carry proceeds
of the tub-peddlers, and it was claim
ed and so stated in the affidavit that
Nelson was the one Who succeeded in
getting away with that amount.
The story of the negro fisherman
was told to Officer Harper, who found
the party under charges, and sent him
down as a dangerous and suspicious
character.

STRANGER WRITES ONE, FORG-

check discarded year or more ago.
The check was made payable to S. w.

The stranger evidently knew the
officers of the association who signed
checks and all of these signatures,

work was very crude, the name of one
