ARRESTED ON SERIOUS CHARGES

-----

Three Boys Held for Breaking into

Marlin Sanitarium.

-----

    Three boys of Marlin were arrested Tuesday night by City Marshal Stallworth and were placed in jail on the charge of forcing an entrance into the Marlin sanitarium.

    It was about 11 o'clock when the marshal and one or two others were near the sanitarium.  They heard a window crash and went to investigate.  The boys were found in the basement and taken to jail.

    What their object was in entering the building has not yet developed.  They are held pending an investigation.  They claim that they had nothing to do with the breaking of the glass and that they entered an open door.

    Complaints were filed against Doc Lucas and Tom Rogers, Charles Ballard is held as a suspect.
