IS CHARGED WITH A SERIOUS OFFENSE

ARTHUR BROOKS ACCUSED OF ROBBERY AT PITTSFIELD

He is a So of Dr. E. D. Brooks of This City -- Telegraph Office Was Broken Into

Sunday afternoon the telegraph office at the Pittsfield depot was broken into. Two interchangeable mileage tickets valued at $60, and $20 in postage stamps were taken.

The sheriff s office here was notified of the robbery and asked to look out for Arthur Brooks a son of Dr. E. D. Brooks, of this city, who is accused of committing the robbery.

Young Brooks was employed at the office doing various odd jobs and it is supposed that he laid the plan to rob the place Sunday. He has not been seen around Pittsfield since the crime was committed.

Those who know the young fellow say that he is not mentally responsible for his actions. He has been in trouble before.

The depot office from which young Brooks is accused of taking the stamps is also the post office and the stamps were the property of the government, which makes young Brooks' offense all the more serious.

A warrant was issued for Brooks' arrest by Justice Doty Monday. He was seen on the streets here Sunday afternoon about 2 o'clock by Officer "Tip" Ball, but has now disappeared.
