He hired a room at the Holland House, where ho stayed ovor night. When arrested he had on a suit of un derclothing and some other nrtic'ei of wearing apparel belonging to Kellar.

The grip left in place of the one taken from Kellar was turned over to Sheriff McArthur. It contained a com plete set of dental tools rather a queer outfit for a coal miner to be tot ing around over the country It will be held by the sheriff in hope of finding its owner, as Harroyton disclaims Us ownership, and says his own grip has entirely disappoated. Kellar's grip and contents were valued at about 115, and although tho charge placed against Harroyton was burglary, it is doubtful if he can be convicted on that charge.
