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. His parents reside near Dex'-T

RoaD Dkaixaok. Tho worst roads
all over tills country are so for lack
of drainage. Too few supervisors
place sufficient stress upon that feature
of road work, and then some farmers
are inclined Pi rill up such diichis

man who leaves )ii own land un
ditched from year to ear is n;t apt to

by hard work only the express car was

approve any claim presented
