SCOOPS IN A BURGLAR
W. B. Poland Wakes to See his
Cash Disappearing.
Thomas McLennan needed money last
night and the happy inspiration struck
him to make a collection from some
guest of tin* Coleman. By accident or
design he selected V\. B. Poland,
general manager of the Alaska Central,
for the touch. He had just taken the
cash from the pockets of Mr. Polands
trousers, when the victim awoke and
made a jump for his caller.
McLennan tried to run for it but Mr.
Poland held on and the racket wakened i
Mr. Coleman, who came out to find j
Poland holding his captive hy thej
wrists. Marshal Wybiant was dragged j
out of bed and McLennan was taken to j
jail. He explained that he had just
spent $8 he had earned digging in the
water main ditches and mentioning his
loss had been told that if he would go j
into a certain room in the Coleman
house he would tind a pair of trousers
with pockets full of money.
McLe man was hound over by < otn
missione • Hildreth this afternoon to
ans ver the charge of burglary in the
Cnited States district court. He claimed
that he was so drunk when he entered ,
the hotel that he did not know what
he was doing and that he was insti- !
gated to the act by another man. He
has been very much to the bad from
the use of liquor for several weeks.
McLennan was at rested and lined
several weeks ago for try ing to clean
out the Seattle Bar because he claimed ;
a dealer had failed to pay him a 2o cent
bet.
