              Custer beats the world for getting up little
            excitements. If her citizens don't thrash the
            minister into a prayerful state of mind, or get
            into opposing rows on some liquor case, then
            for a change they become embroiled in some case
            of larceny. One day last week CHARLEY BRANT went
            into the store owned by MR. ALDRICH in quest of
            a suit of clothes. He was invited to try them on
            before purchasing. Having divested himself of 
            his old toggery and donned the new he passed out
            with the remark that the firm owed him just about
            the amount to pay for the suit. His arrest was
            effected and last Monday he was brought into the
            presence of Squire METCALF and before six of his
            peers (?) convicted. Seeing an opportunity to
            run he made good his escape still wearing the
            new clothes. He is wanted.
