Hemingray Glass Company

A LARGE HAUL.

Officers Secure Thieves And

Shooters This Morning.

This morning when John Cassidy and David Lee came down stairs from their room over John Wise's saloon corner Merriweather and Macedonia avenues they found that some one had broken open Wise's ice cooler during the night and as Cassidy had been employed as watchman for Mr. Wise they commenced an investigation to find out who the thieves were. They soon found out that Mike Doyle and James Douglass had been inviting numerous persons to come over to a box car back of Hemingray's glass factory. They went over to the car and found Douglass there with two kegs of beer. When he saw them coming he started to run and Cassidy pulled his revolver and fired three shots to scare him and make him stop. Douglass not liking the appearance of things concluded to stop and was held by Cassidy until Officers Cole and Thornburg who had been notified arrived and placed both Douglass and Cassidy under arrest.

When going down Mulberry street to the station in the patrol Cassidy saw Doyle over on Walnut street and the police soon had him in the wagon. They were taken to headquarters and locked up.

The thieves obtained entrance to the ice house by breaking the lock from the door with an old wrench. Mr. Wise said this morning to a HERALD man that he would prosecute the thieves to the full extent of the law and when asked if Cassidy was his watchman he said he was.

The revolver used by Cassidy belonged to Mr. Wise who had left it with him. It is not probable that Cassidy will be prosecuted.
