Among those who were arrested was a young colored men named Harry Wallace. Two years. ago he was marrizd, but he has separated from his wife, and to- day she appeared in court and charged him with a Violation of the Utah law. Judge Miller held him for the grand jury and committed him to jail in default of bail. Mamie Savoy Was sentenced to twenty days in jail. a Wheels Stolen. Yesterday a number of thefts of bicycles were reported to the police, and today there were two cages of alleged theft of whecis called in the Police Court. In one case a young man named William Carroll was complained against for the alleged theft of a wheel belonging to the Fowler Com- pany. He was arrested in Wilmington, Del., and brought here last night by Deiec- tive’ Gallaher. His defense was that he bought the wheel.

There was, there- fore, at the time of publication every rea- son to believe that the information was correct. Mr. Manning’s ietter, however. is of @ more recent date than Miss Crabiree's. weet Nese E DUTIES. (CHIN) They Are to Be Paid Hereafter in Gola.
