ONE-LEGGED o HACKETT
FACES BURGLARY CHARGE

Tom Hackett, one-legged mendi-
cant who has been soliciting funds
about Ely for the past week or more.
is in the county jail. charged with
first degree burglary Hackett was
arrested about ten o'clock Friday
night, by Deputy ISheriff jackson,
after he had entered Sam Tanners
tailor shop on AuItman street and
high-graded clothing valued at from
$500 to $500.
The robbery was committed dur
ing the early evening. Hackett, it
is alleged, says that he found the
door open to the tailor shop, but 1t
Is more generally believed that he
gained admission by means of a pass
key. Mr.. Tanner had locked up his
place for the night about 1870, and
after attending the theatre had gone
to his room, where he was later no.
titled of the robbery by telephone.
and informed that the suspected
burglar was already under arrest.
It appears that Hackett, after max
isg his rich haul. had taken the
booty to a rear room at the Bud sa-
loon. and was trying to sell the goods
piecemeal, at any price he could get
for them, the unusual procedure
arousing suspicion that led to his ar
rest.
Quick action on the part of the
officers and Mr.. Tanner has resulted
in the recovery of all the goods ta-
ken. which Mr.. Tanner thinks Is
most fortunate. as the loss would
have been heavy. Several of the
suits were of high cost, some of
them ranging as high as $s5. One
OF them was full dress suit belong
ing to II. w. Edwards.
At q preliminary hearing before
Justice Collins yesterday Hackett
waived examination and was held
without bail for the district court.
