WAS  ARRESTED  FOR  BREAKING
INTO  STORE  OF  O. L. MEANS
----------
Taken Before Justice Moberly and
Pleads Guilty -- Petit Larceny.
----------

          Adelrich Meer,  who was arrested last night at about eleven o'clock for breaking into  O. L. Means' store, was taken before  Justice James Moberly  this afternoon and pleaded gulity to the charge.  The affidavit charged him with breaking into the store and stealing three dollars, thereby making the charge petit larceny.  After pleading guilty he was bound over to the juvenile court and as he could not furnish the bond, $200, he was sent back to jail to await the action of the court.
          Owing to the fact that Meer is now out of jail under suspended sentence he will no doubt have a hard time getting out of his present trouble.

          George Meer,  son of the late  Henry Meer,  is now and has been in the United States navy since last May.  He is at present on the battleship Wisconsin, marine corps No. 60.  His family received a letter from him to-day, stating that they were at San Deigo, Cal.  They had come from Magdalena Bay, Mexico, and had arrived there the day before he wrote.  He enlisted for three years.  Upon his arrival at San Diego, Cal., George received a letter announcing the death of his father.

          Sheriff Meer  discovered yesterday that  Bert Dowden,  who was turned out of jail Saturday, having served his time, had succeeded in removing the grate over one of the registers in the furnace, giving him access to the dungion beneath, the door of which was, fortunately, locked preventing his escape.  This is the route by which five prisoners escaped last winter.

          Sheriff, Henry Meer,  gave his wife a scare the other day.  She started out to the depot to take the train for Prescott, leaving him at home.  He slipped down to the depot and got on the smoking car, and as soon as it stopped he jumped off and run in  Nick Weintrout’s  store and hid in the back room.  Mrs. Meer  came in presently and Nick told her there was a friend of her’s in the back room who wanted to see her, and when she went in there stood Henry.  Her look of astonishment tickled Henry immensely.
