Knifes Way Into Jail; Steals Way In Deeper Picking pockets at a circus, on big days when crowds are wont to gather, has been in vogue (at least It’s been done) for a long time, but stealing IN Jail is a brand new one. Certain Mr. Smith from over Hay wood county way got In jail here last week for throwing a knife with such good aim that it stuck In a chap’s arm, and Mr. Smith was put In the tin-top. Time must have become burdensome on Mr. Smith, or else he was short of cash, and wanted to keep up with the time o’ day, for he hadn’t been In Jail 24 hours until he had taken unto him self for his own use and behoof four teen dollars in cash, and a good-look ing time-piece. Of course he hadn’t done such e thing—at least that is the story he told Jailer Buck McCall who started checking up on just who might or might not be guilty out of the thirteen residents of his hostelry. Search of Mr. Smith’s person bore out his state ments that he had not taken the money and the watch. However, the jailer figured he couldn't be wrong in his suspicions and made Mr. Smith remove all his cloth ing for a thorough search, and there it was. ‘ The watch, had been stowed careful ly in Mr. Smith’s cap, and the green backs had been inserted In the waist band of his trousers. Mr. McCall said that Smith would probably not be charged with stealing, inasmuch as he did not get away with the returns from his nefarious tricks, and besides, the knife throwing will probably cost the young man some time building roads for the great state of North Carolina.
