rObberies in Mansfield.
When Frank Scheuermann
. went to his home in West Mans.
field about 10 o'clock last Friday
morning he discovered that a
screen had been torn, a window
kicked in and his house entered
and ransacked. He enlisted the

the thief. Mr.. Scheuerman, Mr..
Strong and Albert King discov.
cred a stranger near the rock
Icrusher, about a mile west of
town. The man denied any
knowledge Of the robbery, but
Albert King called attention to
the fact that the man was evi.
dently attempting to conceal a
package under his foot. The
marshal obtained the package
some tea which Mr.. Scheuer-
mann readily identified as his
property. Thereupon the
stranger admitted his guilt and
showed them where lie had hid.
den the stolen property. which
was recovered. The booty con-
sisted principally of eatables.
The man, who gave his name
as George Lewis Clorich, was ar.
raigned before Justice Z. l..

ing, and was bound over, on his
admission of guilt. to the circuit

the city Jail to spend the night
and was taken to Hartville Sat
urday by Mr.. Strong and turned
over to Sheriff W. |. Greer to
abide in the county Jail until the
