"Jim" Mitchell Apparently Stole
Everything he Could Get a
Grip Upon and had Euough
Goods in his House to Start
' a Grocery.
"Jim" Mitchell is in jail be-
cause he is a thief and his four
motherless children the eldest
six years of age are left without
parental guidance.
Mitchell has been employed as a
laborer by the Deep Well com-
pany and with his children have
been living in one of Lee Barrett's
houses in the north end of town
the first house east of V. L.
Trott's.
Deputy Marshal Paden Talbert
become aware a week or so ago
that Mitchell had a large quantity
nf nrnvioinnu nn hand some of
VI .-.- - - I
which he certainly would not have
purchased for his family use. Mar
shal Ledbetter assisted Mr. lai
bert and they did some quiet de
tective work. No complaints had
been received of a theft and it was
first n(PARRflrV to ascertain who
a1 lnut nnv croodfl.
By constant surveilance the of
ficers ascertained that the pro
visions had been taken during the
;wt frnm Wried cars on the
1J1UV " -
Frisco track.
Neither the company's officials
nor the consignees had missed
the goods and they did not know
. u UA Kuan rnhhed until Mr.
mcj uau '
Talbert informed them that Mitch
ell had been creaking seals and
helping himself during the early
hmirs of the mornine.
A search warrant was secured
and a hoop of cheene with cases
of canned peas tomatoes and
a th dim ma rA fnnnd hidden in
Mitchell's house.
A further Bearch today de
veloped the fact that Mitchell's
neculations have been on the
wholesale order. Goods of nearly
every description were found about
the premises and when removed
to the marshal's office were of suf
ficient quantity to set up a re
SDectable grocery.
"Among a lot of axes hoes and
rakes was found an ax with the
name of Ross Blevin cut in the
handle. Mr. Ledbetter returned
the ax to Mr. Blevin who stated
that it had been etolen ft week
ago.
Of a dozen stolen chicktns in
coop Marshal Talbert recognized
a couple of hens that "wandered"
from bis barn a few nights ago.
Mitchell said that he bought all
There never wuh such a gather
ing at a commercial Junction in
Vinita as that of last night at the
grand spring and EaHter opening
of the Jumbo store.
At 8 o'clock the doors were
thrown open and an admiring
throng entered the store. 'Midst
a glare of light from numerous
electric globes and a burst of
music from a piano at which Mixs
Graper presided they beheld
such a bewildering display ot
beautiiul spring millinery and
suitings that the ladies spent their
time flitting from one lovely
article to another unable to de-
cide which was prettieBt. Bright
colors are the vogue with gold
and siver trimmings and dainty
pinks and pastel blues are offered
for sale to adorn many a pretty
head at Easter.
Large roses of various tints and
geranium pinks all pinks in
fact promise to be very popular
this spring.
In gazing at the display win
dows one drew a long deep breath
of admiration then proceeded in
side the Btore to inspect the "pret
tiest." At the right upon enter-
ing a roomy well lighted display
case contained masses of artificial
flowers. The second case con
tained a profusion of rich trim
mings while yet in another case
the finished articles bats of the
new shapes and most fashionable
of trimmings were on exhibition.
Arches of roses served as frames
for the display of more millinery
while from the ceiling were hung
parasols of the most fetching of
colors. In silk waists the display
was gorgeous the colorings love
ly. Appliques of real and imi
tation Arabian laces are to be the
"real thing" in dress trimmings.
Corsets dress goods and silk
"Etons" added to the splendid
display.
The hundreds of visitors were
most cordially welcomed and each
person was presented with a beau-
tiful rose a large assortment of
which was brought from the con-
servatories at Parsons.
Coffee in dainty china cups
with whipped cream was gener-
ously served in the grocery de-paitment.
