DRIVER FOR ADAMS
EXPRESS CO. ARRESTED
Charge of Grand Larceny Lodg-
ed Against Joseph SanbOrn
Arrested Monday Night.

Joseph Sanborn, driver for the
Adams Express company here, is
under arrest charged with grand
larceny, it being alleged that the
young man has taken goods consigned
to the express company for delivery.
1t is said that youthful infatua-
tion for girl is the cause Of the
downfall of the young man, and that
many Of the goods, which were alleg-
cd to have been taken, found their
way to the girl, against whom no
complaint has been made in connec-
tion with the case.
Sanborn is said TO have been work
ed on an express wagon for the COM
pany here for about three months
and that during this time many
claims came 10 the company from
various sources. Some of these claims
were made by local business houses.
Mr.. Hall, the agent here for the
Adams Express company, finally be-
came convinced that Sanborn had
something to do with the disappear
ance of the goods, and he caused a
search warrant to be issued. Armed
with his Deputy Wheeler and Mar
shals Rogers and Vibber, made a
search and located some goods, which
are believed TO have been taken from
the express company. Sanborn was
at once arrested and at his hearing
On Tuesday afternoon, on the advice
of his attorney, William A. Bahlke,
waived examination and was then
bound over to circuit court He did
not furnish bail and is now in the
county jail awaiting trial
Among the things found by the of
fcers in the search the first of the
week were silk dresses, waists, under
clothing, gloves. hosiery, etc, valued
at nearly a hundred dollars Whether
on not more goods will be later re
covered from other sources cannot
be told, as il is not even known 70
u certainty how much disappeared in
this way.
Immediately the officers took San
born in charge and Agent Hall noti-
fed the company's Detroit and Chica-
go offices and man was Immediately
sent here and has taken charge of the
case. 1t will require considerable
work. it is expected, to check up the
claims that have been made and get
the matter squared away.
Considerable sympathy has been
expressed for Sanborn. who is not be
ing considered as a man gone wrong,
but rather as boy who has simply
made a mistake If he is proven
guilty Of the charge against him, il
is probable that efforts will be made
to obtain a chance for the lad 20

ZOELLNER QUARTET
Famous Quartet Will Give Concert
Here January 25th.

A recent critic very aptly describ-
ed the work of the Zoellner quartet
when he stated that they are the
legitimate exponents Of Chamber mu-
sic in America, because they play the
classics with the lofty dignity requir-
ed by those masterpieces, because
they are not afraid to produce a nov
city by an unknown writer, and fur
thermore, they are still young enough
in years to play a keen relish and a
spontaneous spirits"
One New York critic, on the occa-
sion Of the Zoellner's second concert
AZ Aeolian hall last season, pointed
out that the rich old Hayden quartet
had not had such a delightful reading
in years as that given by the Zoell-
ners, while another critic states that
if they did nothing else than bring
forth the charms and tuneful Dohanyi
Quartet they were filing their place
in the scheme Of things musical The
Ioellner quartet is an organization
that Americans can well feel proud
of, for il seems certain that their
names will be linked with the best
traditions Of American history.
The Zoellner quartet will appear at
the Wright opera house January 25.
