Companion Escaped. While Amos Green, a young man, was being tried in the police court, on Thussday morning, on 4 (barge of theit, his wife and two smal chil- dren waited in one of the police rooms to hear the result of the case. Green was found guilty' and sentenced by Magisteate Farrell to six months in Jal. He was arrested shortly after eleven o'clock om 'Wednesday night, by Con- | stable Clark, charged -with the theit of tobacco from Robertson, Nicolle & Co., wholesale grocers, Ontario street. He pleaded "not guilty" and his case was 'quickly disvosed of. The goods. stolen were 'pid 'on a table before the magistrate. and consisted of one caddie of Napoleon tobacco, one-half caddie of Pay Roll, onehali caddie of T. & B. and one eaddie of Black Watch. One the shippers at the wholesale was sworn, and idéntified the tobacco as belonging to this wholesale. 3 « Constable (lark was called to . the box; and told his story of the arrest of Green. "About eleven o'clock Wednesday night," said. the constable, "1 was on Ontario street. When | reached the corner of Queen street | stopped for a minute or two. While standing there 1 noticed the prisoner and another man come along the railway tracks. | Green had three caddies of tobacco in a bag and the rest of the tobacco was carried by the other fellow, under his arm. When they saw me both drop- ped the tobacco and ran. I followed Green to Princess street. Two sol- diers happened to come along and 1 outs to them to stop him. They did so and then I put Green un- der arrest. lhe other fellow A of es asked the magistrate to re- mand his case for a week, declaring that he was not the guilty party the case. "No, I will not remand vou for a week," replied the court. "I'he evi. dence against you is quit® clear. You were caught with the goods." The prisoner said that he wet his friend and that the latter had asked him to carcy the tohacco. "But in that case you were n par- ty to it," remarked the magistrate, "You should not have touched the to- bacco at all. I will sentence you to in six months." A After Green was arrested Con- stables Clark and Naylon paid a visit to the wholesale and they found how the men had secured en- trance to the building. They got in. doorway off the lane. A wire screen had been pried off and then a pane of glass had been smashed. After this it was a very easy mat 'er to put a hand in and push the vult so that the door would open. While making an inspection inside the wholesale, a half dozen or so burnt matches were found on the floor having been used by the men in search for the tobacco. It is a wonder they did not set fire to the wholesale, - Mary 'Nelson was charged with being the keeper of a disorderly house, but she denied the charge and asked for a chance to secure a lawyer, She afterwards had a con- sultation with T. J. Rigney and the case was set for hearing on Monday next. John Slattery was arrested for drunkenness and vagrancy. He pleaded guilty to being drunk, but protested against the other charge. He said he belonged to Ottawa, and that he had only been in the city four days. ' "Sergeant Nesbitt said that he'liad been at the police sta- tion for protection three nights. Slattery said he had: been working on boats all summery, and had left his boat, the 'Alberta, at Port Mec- a short time ago. The magistrate imposed a fine of $2 and costs or fifteen days.

The officers taking the R.SA. course at Tete de Pont , barracks took an examination . in "Baguita- tion" on Thursday morning and in the "Use of the Field instruments." on Thursday afterngon. One of these instruments was shown to the Whig Two small metallic boxes about as big as a pocket camera can glye the distance to an object with- out measuring.' A set of mirrors in each box is the secret. The instru- ments are held forty yards apart and by the use of the mirrors they are focused sn the object that the gun will be ranged on. A small cylin- der on the side of each instrment when they are properly focused gives the exact distance to the object which might be many yards away. The mirror adjusting automatically, registers tlie distance to the noint of apex of the triangle made by the two 'instruments, and the object that *he gun will be trained on.
