Because ho flashed a large roll of bills and was known to bo out of work, .Maybera .Maberykobisr, a ilun- gaTian, living near Nazareth, was ar¬ rested Sunciuy on suspicion, and waa later touiul to have $460 concealed in a bed tick, whioh is believed to be part of $1100 stolen from one of his fellow louutry-men last Thursday. His companion, Mike PauKik, had large quantity oif new clothes, pur¬ chased at Easton, a tew days ago, in his possession, and waa also aJrested on suspicion. 'Squire Andrews, o Nazareth, on complaint ot County Detective Neimeyer, connmitted Ma¬ berykobisr to the county jail, while Pauluk was placed in prison to await further evidence of his connection in the robbery. Both men had plan¬ ned to leave tor Chicago, on Monday. When the robbery occurred Detec¬ tive Neimeyer was too busy to make an investigation, but when notified that the Nazareih authorities had ar¬ rested Maberykobisr, he and Sergt. Bentz went to Nazaroth and exam¬ ined the man and searched his room. Two new suit cases containing sever¬ al gaudy silk shirts, four pairs of shoes and other clothes were found. When asked if he had any money, Maberykobisr said that he had $300 in his trunk, but when searched it was not found. A slit in a' bed tick filled with straw aroused the suspic¬ ion of the ofllcers, but they were un¬ able to find anything. Finally the prisoner himself stuck his hand into the mattress and pulled out a large wad of bills. Fifteen dollaTs were found on his person.
Pauluk entered the room while the search was being conducted, and when he became insolent and it was learned that part of the clothes be¬ longed to him, he was also   arrested.

The next meeting will be held at -Xazareth, on Saturday, July 19, at S p. m. At this meeting it is expected lo complete a 100 per cent, member¬ ship of the county.
