Attention is also called to the fact
that E. G. Maggl, a member of tho par

. .Confesses Burglary, Turned Loose.
Will Long, a young man about twenty-two
years of age, was arrested Fri
day and confessed ho hr.d robbed the
Green pool hall tho night before of
sixty dollnrs. Upon Long's father
making restitution of the money, Mr.
Green declined to make complaint, and
Long was given twenty-four hours to
leave town. Quito naturally the oillcers
feel somewhat peeved over Green's ac
tion in refusing to file complnlnt
nirninst Long. They argue, and right
ly too. that if men who place them
selves in the criminal class aro al
lowed to go unpunished, there la. lit
tle use of the oillcers hunting them
down. To escape punishment is an in
contlvo to perforin other unlawful acts.
During Fridny Long, who was never
known to possess money, spent coin so
freely thnt suspicion was attached to
him, and this with tho further fact
that he was a habitue of tho pool hall,
resulted in his arrest. He signed a
written confession which Sheriff Sal

burglary.
