Last Sunday evening bicycles belonging to Herbert C. Smith, of the D. K. E. house, and Mrs. Emma Sheehan, of E. Huron st. , were stolen.
The officers commenced a diligent search and Tuesday night Jack O'Mara noticed them in the possession of Frank Hill and Frederick Schumacher.
He placed them under arrest.
Schumacher, however, objected to Sheriff Gillen's hospitable quarters and started to run.
"Doc" Collins happened to be playing center on the other team and when Schumacher tried to make a gain through him for a touchdown the ball was lost on downs.
Officer Collins tackled him hard and the time for the game was called, with the ball in the possession of the the policeman several yards from Gillen's goal line.
This afternoon they were brought, up before Justice Duffy, and both pleaded not guilty.
They were charged with larceny.
The trial will take place next Tuesday.
