FARRELL GIVEN
JAIL SENTENCE
4 w. W., who it is Charged
Dragged Transient and
Stole Watch, Convicted.

Tom Farrell, l.. w. w. member, ar
rested yesterday afternoon by Chief
Albert Hurst, appeared before Judge
Robert Blair this morning and was
sentenced to thirty days in the county
Jail for petit larceny.
Charley Jeji, a transient, lodged the
charge against Farrell and positively
identified the man on the stand. Far
rell met Jeji on the street yesterday
afternoon and claimed him as an old
acquaintance, but Jeji could not re-
member the man and declares that he
has never known him. Farrell intro
duced him to a party Of men and he
was given a drink from a bottle and
shortly became sick and dizzy from
the drink, he declared. The men evil
IDENTIFY became afraid that they had
given a too heavy dose, it is alleged,
and sent for a bottle Of milk which
Jeji drank as an antidote.
When Jeji was doped the man Far
rell took his Hamilton watch, valued
at $40, and left him, so the witness
said, to be picked up later by the po-
lice when he was identified. The at
fair took place back of a local soft
drink parlor.
A thorough watch is being kept for
the remainder of the party of men
who aided in the theft and Jeji is con-
ident that he will be able to identity
one Of the ring leaders IL he can be
found. The watch has not been recov-
cred although q search was made of
pawn shops on the west side Of the
