Two Places at Night. ,
William Spencer, alias Spencer Williams,
and William Woods, both negroes, were
arrested at the pawn shop of Samuel

and, Herman Nasal's meat shop, 1426 South
Sixteenth street, Tuesday night, taken to
, the city jail and will be turned over to
the grand Jury.
The negroes had some of the stolen

picions are fairly well grounded.

negro, wag bound ever and later convicted
and sentenced to the penitentiary for high
way robbery, the' victim being John Han
son. Also Colonel Spencer la wanted on the
charge of impersonating art officer, 'the
ease at hand being the robbery of an ltaU
lan at Seventeenth street and the railroad
crossing of $45 by a oolored ttsn believed
by the police, to be Spencer,.;' The fruits
of thla harvest were $45. y 1 '
' Tuesday night tobacra and cigars and 220
pennies were taken from the Pelllcan store
and the 'cash register removed from the
Nagel meat shop.' The register was taken
to Eighteenth and' Hickory and opened, as
Detectives McDonald and Dunn discovered.
They : traced K 'and - some' of 'the stolen
goods.'- ' "'
t Spencer William Is also wanted to ex
plain the theft of a watch from M. J. Ost
eon, . B20 South ; Thirteenth street, several
weeks ago. The 'watch was "taken from
Caldon-ln the nlgSit at a saloon. A short
time later is was recovered at a pawnshop,
where It had beea ."soaked" by Wflitama,
