W. G. Wilson Discovers Fuel Gone
but Later Man Appears Offer

CHIEF MILLER MAKES ARREST
Rufus Jack, Old Offender, Works on
Theory That Third Avenue Man
Could Not Identify Chunks.

Coal, like money. is not easy to
identify, but when W. G. Wilson, 1920
Third avenue, a negro, discovered his
fuel stolen, and a short time later be-
held Rufus Jack standing at the front
door of his home offering three BUSH
els of the third vein" variety for sale,
he concluded it was time to call the
police.
Chief of Police Phil Miller was
sleuthing in the vicinity Of Third ave-
nue. and Eighteenth street trying to
get a line on where Jack was going,
as while he had been walking on Third
avenue at 1890 o'clock last night he
saw Rufus with the empty cart and
had attempted TO head him off at
Fourth avenue and Seventeenth street.
Rufus, in the meantime, had gone into
the alley on Eighteenth street between
Third and Fourth avenues, police say,
and loaded the cart with coal from the
bin belonging to Wilson. The chief
failed TO locate him and started back
to discover where he had gone when
he beheld him and Wilson arguing as
to the ownership of the coal.
Unique Attempt.
Chief Miller said today that Jack
pulled probably one of the most
unique burglaries the police depart
ment ever investigated. He stated that
Jack stole the coal from Wilson's bin
and then went directly to the owner
and attempted to sell it, in the hopes
that Wilson had not discovered the
theft.
Jack was committed to Watertown
by Judge n. A. Larson in county
court today Police say he is
an old offender and has been ar
rested numerous times before for va
rious offenses.
Mrs. Mary Gehl, 1881 Fourth ave-
nue., was fined SO and costs in police
court on a charge of assault and bat
terry, preferred by her sisterin-law,
Mrs. Laura Nugent. who charges that
the defendant slapped her. Mrs. Gehl
averred that Mrs. Nugent called her a
! vile name.

WORD FROM BROTHER
AFTER FIFTY YEARS

Mrs Sophie Rueth, 1923 Fourteenth
street, has received word from her
brother Carl C. Forgson from whom
she had not heard previously for more
than fifty years. When Mr. and Mrs.
Reuth came to this country from
Europe he was &c years old
and now he has reached the age Of n.
He resided for many years in Russia
but was driven from that country by
the war and has taken Up his residence
in Germany, this being accountable for
the fact that Mrs Reuth was unable
before to locate her brother, knowl-
edge of his whereabouts being gained
through the settlement Of an estate
lately inherited by the family. His
advanced age prevents him from WIS.,
iting his sister which he would other

German by birth and in his letter he
tells of the great misery that the war
has brought upon his country and its
people.

Chief Miller to the taxi driver, "the
