hopeful that their renewed spirit may
forestall the fall of their capital.
Events were closely watched here for
any indication of break in the

three counts of alleged larceny. He
Is now held under $25,000 bail on the

:. furnish the full $4,000.
MORE ARRESTS EXPECTED.
Several more arrests of persons

today of $4,000 more in checks, al
lleged by them, to indicate that the

tasteful to the Wizard" who has de-
clared that the State officials want to
