July 18th, Officer Walaitls found
an emp'.y porter keg bearing
Strozlnskl's private mirk in the yard of
Mezalefsky's propjrty. From this clue
the arrest ot all the defendants named
followed, It having been learned that all
t tiem had been carousing on the night
ot July 10th and morning of the Nth. One
of the party also furnished a clue by In
advertently remarking that It would
have been cheaper to buy a keg
of porter. The case was first re
turned to the September term of court
and continued to the November and Jan
uary terms owing to the fact that Wis
zewsky jumped his bail and the other
defendants, from time to time, failed to
appear. It was finally forced to trial yes

prisonment, $25 fine and the costs.

capias was issued for him. Wt-zewsky
did not show up at the trial at all and his
whereabouts are unknown. Mazelefsky
was acquitted on the ground that wheu
allowing the keg to be taken into his
house he did not know it was stolen. The
costs In the case amount to over $200.
More Suggestions.
Dear Herald: As the columns of
your valuable paper seem to be open for
suggestions relative to available candl
dates to fill the vacancies that will occur
in the different borough offices this spring,
permit me to take advantage ot the same
aad name two men for election to the
Borough Council from the Second ward,
men of acknowledged business integrity
and honesty, who are eminently qualified
to fill any position in the gift of the people
of our town, and whose character as busi
ness men and citizens is above reproach
men who are owners ot considerable real
estate and have no relative, or friends, to
reward. Allow me to place before the
votersof the Second ward the nnmesof Mr.
b E. Mngargle, and Mr. Frank Schmidt,
men who ;an be elected, who have a ho
of friends and who are legion.
