The theft was committed several
days ago and Nelson, who was hostler
at the hotel, disappeared but was
subsequently arrested by Chief of
Police Rogers in Columbia.
At the hearing Nelson denied tak-

of about $28. After hearing several
witnesses the Squire decided to hold
Nelson for court trial and in default
of $100 bail he was remanded to
