BOYS STOLE $170
Myrtle Street Store Keeper Robbed But Recovers $1O5 Youngsters Placed on Probation.


 Placed on Probation.
 The most important case in the police court this morning was tried in chambers. It grew out of the theft of $170 from Nicholas Salenis a store keeper at 392 Myrtle street. John Corzon and Bardick Rzecuk are the two small boys said to have com mitted the theft, but Rzecuk returned the money to the storekeeper soon after it had been stolen. When Rze- cuk returned the money the store keeper blamed the Corzon boy for the theft and Policeman Anthony Walenczius arrested him.
 According to Salentis the boys visited his store yesterday afternoon and, bought some sandwiches. About half an hour later Rzeuck returned to the store with $105 in his hand' saying that the boy who was with him had stolen 1t from the store. He noti- fled the police that there was more money missing and an investigator started. Although Rzeuck blamed the theft entirely on Corzon. he IS the elder of the two and the police are Of the opinion that he may nave advised his younger companion at least. The boys were locked up TOT a while and put on probation.
 Joseph Cassarino was before the court for a violation of the healtn ordinances. It was alleged that ne threw some old shoes and leather scrap in the rear of the Shupack block at 348 Main street He explained that a boy in his employ had thrown the rubbish on shupack's property, Thursday unknown to him.

PROVIDING a Target.

With the spread of overland auto
touring the milepost and guidepost are
coming back into a prominence that is
reminiscent of stage coach days. The
leading problem of countries, states
and auto associations in this line is the
development of a signpost that will
stand up under the abuse it almost in
variably gets. One of the newest de-
signs was developed by prize contest
in Illinois. The prize-winning design
calls for a post which is built of con-
crete throughout. Another concrete
post which is finding favor has even
the names of towns and distances in
concrete. letters. In the West much
damage is done by hunters. and others,
who shoot the signboards full of holes
The newest post in this region has it's
directions on one board, and a target
specially painted on another, with the
adjuration, "If you must shoot, shoot
| here!"

FORMAL" HUNT POOR SPORT
Where the Cheetah Is Given a Chance
However, 1t Is Something of
Different Matter.

The formal cheetah hunt, which is
sure to constitute a part of the enter
tainment provided by any one of a
couple of dozen Of the most prominent
native chiefs of northern India for
his distinguished guests, is, if any
thing, tanner and more tiresome than
a state tiger hunt, with the latter's
elaborate provisions for rounding up
the torpid quarry and still more elabo-
rate precautions against anyone but
the beaters being mauled. An in
formal cheetah hunt, however, where
things are taken as they come, is rare
ly very entertaining experience. On
such occasions, as no maharajah's rep
utation for hospitality is held to hang
upon the number of slaughtered buck
laid at the feet of the guest of honor
in the official photographs, it is possi-
Bile to give the quarry something like
a sporting chance, the consequence be-
| ing that the cheetah is seen far nearer
the limit of its really phenomenal
stalking and sprinting powers than
when the game, frightened and con-
| fused by line of beaters, is driven
under the supereilious nose of the

Meade had been the most brilliant,
Winters the most Indifferent, Rodney

first thought was to forbid Rodney to
do anything further, although how far
his friend would respect his wishes he
could not tell. Anyway, he did not
have to decide that matter, because he
could not say word to him. To
have allowed Winters to write would
have betrayed his whereabouts. He
was living with Winters under an as

his hair cut differently and had grown
