HAS A FAILING FOR SPECTACLES

WM. F. BOWLES IS IN JAIL UNDER ARREST

Claimed That He Operated in Chelsea and Ann Arbor-He Was Caught Near Saline

Wm. F. Bowles, the alleged spectacle thief, is in the hands of the law after playing hide and seek about the county for some time.

He claims to be a newspaper proofreader and says that his home is in Hillsdale.

Last week a man answering his description stole a pair of spectacles from a doctor in Chelsea.

The next day he came to Ann Arbor and put up the glasses and a book to J. C. Watts for 75 cents. Then he turned around and stole Mr. Watts' spectacles. He then went down town and sold the Watts spectacles to J. L. Chapman for $1.

He was located on a farm between Saline and Ypsilanti. Yesterday the officers went there and arrested him and brought him to the jail here.
