learn whether the shoes have been
stolen from a box ear In transit or
from a warehou-.e.
. The shoes, manufactured by the Pe

Two men held a few days ago on a

connection with Evans. They did not
have the goods in thier possession
when the police arrested them and
after being held over night in the city
