Hobo Steals Ham.
James Wilson, a member of the
wandering fraternity, was the oen-
, ter of attraction in Justice Format! 's
court on Thursday afternoon, having
been arrested on the charge of steal
ing three hams from the ware room of
I the Sugar Pine store.
J. O. Gibson, oue of the clerks in
the store, waa the first to discover
that the hams were missing from a
number which be had nupacked a
short time before, their absence not
being acoountod for by the sales
slips. At about the same time the
discovery of the theft was made.
Wilson went . to the Oregon cafe aud
negotiated for the sale of some hams
with Frank K, Sohwib who is in
charge of the oalinary department,
offering to accept neaily any figure.
Mr. Schwab told Wilson to bring
the hams but meanwhile, in sopsicion
ot a theft, Deputy Sheriff Ernest Lis
ter was notified aud apprehended
Wilson just after he had returned to
the Oregon with the hams. In answer
to the inquiry as to how he was in
possession of the hams, he said he
had bought them, bat refused to
state more explicitly where he had
purchased them. He was then
placed under arrest. Iu the trial,
Wilson showed considerable familiar
ity with courts of law aud cross ex
amined the witnesses touching the
accuracy of their statements. By
order of Justice Fnrmau, he was
boudnd ovor to await the April term
of circuit court, with bonds fixed at

A Pilfering Couple.
A tramp couple, man and wifo, of
tlie name of Dor 11,' were arrested for
vargacy and appeared before Police
Judge Maybee ou Thursday morning.
On the uuderstandiug that they
would leave the town forthwith, they
were released and lost no time iu
placing themselves on the other side
of the city limits. Mr. Mayliee im
proved the opportunity to deliver
some very wholesome advice and pre
cept to the muu, in which good
work he was aided and assisted by
Justice Furmau, Constable Ritndle
and Marshal Finch. It is very
probable, however, that the words
fell upon storuy soil.
This Doru is the same character
that was imprisoned in the county
jail prior to the Januaiy term of cir
cuit court on the charge of stealing a
gun. Ho was released witli the
uuderstandiug that his absence
would prevail iu this locality. Since
that time, aocording to his state
uient, he has been south as far as
Ashland in that direotiou aud nearly
to Crecsent City iu another, looking
for woik, which lie is nuablo to rind
The couple appear to be wandering
aimlessly about over tlie country
merely eking out a miserable hand to
mouth existence.

fact is a natural consequence of it
geological position in a country of so
great natural resource as Southern
Oregon.
