He was required to pay the reg? ulation tax of $1.50 and $1.50 addi? tional as a penalty. Henry Williams went into the jew? elry store of Mr. E. A. Bultman and triedlo sell a $50 watch for $20. The watch that he tried to sell was a reg? ulation railroad watch and as Mr. Bultman was suspicious of the man? ner in which Williams came into pos? session of it he examined his book to try and find a record of repairs that might have been done upon the watch. Williams then became alarm? ed, snatched up the watch and en? deavored to make way with it. He was captured by Mr. Bultman, not, however, until he had broken the I glass in the front door of the jewelry store, and was held by him until Of? ficer Tribble took charge of the pris? oner. There is at present no way of proving that Williame stole the watch but he is being held on a minor charge until the ownership of the watch can be investigated. . H-pnry Wilson was the first. occu? pant of the green bench to present his respects to Recorder Hurst on Friday. The charge against him was for carrying a concealed razor and cutting John Thomas with it. The warrant was served and the arrest made by Officer Owens.

The audience was made up of a multitude who seemed, for the time at hiast, to have forgotten or ignored the fact that they were not all mem? bers of the same religious body. , The memorial service was con? ducted by the pastor of the church in which the meeting was held. He read a paper concerning Dr. Clifton, which he had written for the Chris? tian Advocate, and then followed it up 'arith a talk of fifteen or twenty minutes' upon some of the traits which characterized the lamented deac.. The tearful eyes and solemn faces of the multitude attested the fact that they were heartily in sym? pathy with the uttered words. Dr. Clifton's wife and children were present and expressed their thanks to many over the fact that such a meet? ing liad been held. The choir had selected special songs for the ocasi?n, and the music was pleasing. Prof. Schumacher's ren? dering of "Come, ye Disconsolate" on the violin, was very touching and full of moving pathos, as was also the song by Tom Walsh, "If I Were a Voice."
