Sunday morning when Conrad Renner of 170 South Broadway went to get a shave and a shine he had SO cents in lawful money of the United States. When he returned he had 3 cents, which he dropped into a side pocket of his coat. The aforesaid he hung on a chair until he was ready to leave the house again When he did leave he discovered that he was 30 cents shv. He went back to the family domicile and taid things to his sister, Miss Laura Ren- ner, and his mother, Mrs. Val Eberle, and he said them so loudly and so emphatically that the temperature in the room is said to have risen four degrees Fahrenheit in two minutes. But these things cannot always last, as the poct says, and in due course oe time the, inevitable ‘“‘cop'’ appeared the scene, just as the melodramatic villain invariably ‘‘butts’’ in Jyst at the moment you are looking for him, and it was a case of meet me in St. Louis, Lotis; meet me at the City Hall Police Court, with young Mr. henner. When the case was called Conrad put up euch a beautiful talk that Judge Tracy Dade him step down and out, and to be more careful of his wealth in the future. Just who got the 30 cents is still a mooted question. Coal Sweeping Injunction Issued Sunday Night by Judge Holder of Belle- ville at Request of Big Packers Has Had No Perceptble Effect.
