gress in the police court. The prisoner
was .so violent th.it t'onstalle Collan

She proved most obstreperous and the

hardly moved fast enough for the ha

guilty and was ordered out of town.

When Hugh Wnllhrew, first cook or
the steamer Potter, came off the boat
last night and sauntered up town he did
not know that a detective was dogging
his footsteps. Ho was carrying a suit
caso of capacious dimensions that ap
peared to be fairly well loaded, and tha
detective noted that fact. That is why
the cook Is resting In the county Jail
today with a chnriro of lareenv against
him.
For some time provisions have been
missed from the commissary of the
Potter. All soils of things eatable
disappeared since the Potter went on
the run down the river to the beach,
over a month ago. The Potter Is nn O.

of that company was assigned to the
rase. His suspicion was soon directed
to Walthrew. who entered the employ
of the boat about the time the provi
sions began to disappear.
Wood ascertained that some of the
stolen goods hiul been sold to north end
saloons, w hero they went to make up
free lunches. Last right he followed
Walthrew when the latter started out
with n suit case. The arrest was made
It the corner of Second and Oak streets

was found to contain abundant evidence
In the form of canned goods, a five-
pound can of baking powder, a large,
ham, several Juicy T-bone steaks and
several rolls of butter. Walthrew saw
the game was up and confessed.
It Is known that the receipts of the
cook from Ids pilfering have run Into
the hundreds of dollars, but how much
cannot be stated. Walthrew was ar
raigned before Justice Pell this morn
ing; ard his preliminary hearing will
tak place next Tuesday morning. It is
expected that he will be held to await
