dozen of the yellow slot boxes that
are seen on the electric light polca

For several nights recently the offi

sometimes pulled from the posts, and
all of them robbed of both the chew

The boxes are fastened to the pole*

fastened with a small lock. By break
ing off the lock, which is an easy thing
to do. the box can bo readily detach

Many have been broken In the part
of the city patrolled by Officer Davis,
and he has kept a good lookout for the

CORONER SAVES TROUBLE
BY SEARCHING SPECTATORS
NORFOLK. Va., Oct 30.—Serious
trouble was averted at the coroner’s in
quest at Holland, Va., today to Inquire
into the murder of Tyberius G. Jones xev-
eral days ago, as a result by an order
to search nil spectators In the courtroom
for concealed weapons.
Seven or eight persons were caught
with pistols In their pockets and a score •
of guns were found on the floor and win
dow sills, abandoned by owners to avoid
arrest on the charge of carrying con
cealed weapons.
Samuel Hardy, one of the witnesses,
was held by the Jury on the charge or
murder and he was arrested. Ball was
denied him. It was testlfl.*d that Hardy
and Jones were enemies, as a result of
the latter being a witness against Hardy's
Interest In a will contest case; that
Iinrdy had made threats against Jones,
nnd that at k:3t) o'clock on th* night or
tho murder he left his store armed with
pistols. The order to search the specta-
torn waa Issued, as a remit ef an at
tempt by J. B. Jones, of Norfolk, brother
of the dead man. to nseault Hardy while
he was on the stand. Two concealed
weapons were found on him.
