Belmont owns an automobile and
Ike lots OF lother cars It accumulated
considerable expense, according to a
story told Of the affair by Sheriff
Rose, and these obligations finally got
the detective into trouble.
The sheriff says Henry Hughes, own
er Of q garage Of that pane on King
street, did considerable repairing on
Belm0nt's car but got little or no
money for his material, time and eff
forts. Failing to- receive monetary
satisfaction from the owner Hughes
lay in ambush for the car, took it
away from Belmont's driver and
chained it up in the garage pending a
settlement Of all bills.
Belmont was not altogether pleased
with such action on the part Of his
creditor and retaliated He had been
told that it was larceny to take an
other mans car and using HIS authori-
ty as police officer he notified
Hughes to come to the station to be
arrested on such charge. i.
THAT was too much" says Rose,
so we gave Belmont q little lesson"
