Joseph McDonald, who was arrested by Sergeant Moore and Detective Kilmartin while he was trying to dispose of a hand- some dagger, was Saturday sent to jail for four months by Judge Kimball. McDonald, who was described by Ser- geant Moore as a “hobo,” said he was from Chicago, but had bought the dagger from a man in this city, paying $7 therefor, as a speculation. The dagger is heavily mount- ed with gold, and valued by jewelers to whom it was shown as worth at least $100. When asked if he had ever served a term in a penitentiary, McDonald replied that that had nothing to do with this case. After his sentence, the prisoner asked if, should no owner for the weapon be found by the time he had served his sentence, he could get the dagger. Judge Kimball an- swered that the owner would be found. The weapon was turned over to the prop- erty clerk to await identification by the owner. —_ + DISTRICT W. C. T. U.
