Dully Guard, January SO. Cuakqed With IHhoi.aiiy. A warraut was issued from Justice Wheeler's court at uoon today for tin arrest of a young niun, Earl Sargi-i.t, who Is charged with burglary. Kar gent has been attending the uuversity during the winter and worked Id way. Lately he hns been employnl as a dishwasher at the Holliiian House. A few mouths ago he stole a watch from tho premises of Senator I D Driver. Evidence of the joiium inau's guilt was not secured until to day when the Ksv. Dr. proceeded l give him a lecture on the error of l.; ways. The Dr. later, however, en- -eluded to have the boy arrested and at noon swore out a warraut. The i -y evidently had as little faith in the 1 aa did the latter in tho former, f. li ne got out of sight before tho warrant was Issued aud has kept out of siglit -f the constable and entlro police fotc ever siuce. Since the theft of the watch has come to light it Is bellevH that the accused has stolen a numb r of articles which have disappem .1 from tho Hoffman Ilouso from tim.- to time.
