A young colored man named Joel Hight was arrested yesterday by Detectives Mul- ler and Baur on complaint of Henry Miles. The charge was larceny. Hight, it was al- leged, was given an order for clothing as an agent of the firm of American Woolen Tailors of Chicago. With the order Miles alleged he gave him $1. This was several weks ago, and when he was informed that his order had not reached Chicago he made complaint. When the case was tried in the Police Court today Hight showed a letter acknowledging receipt of the Miles order, and the charge against him was dismissed. es an Audience.
