COLLEGE BOY ARRESTED.

Elmer Beile, a 19-year-old student of St. Joseph's college, is confined in jail in default of S3OO bond on the charge of stealing sl9 from the barber shop cash drawer at the college, which theft he is alleged to have confessed when charged with the crime. The boy’s mother, lives at Lafayette, but she will do nothing more for him, it is said, and he will likely have to 1 remain in jail until court sits in September. He came from St. Louis to Lafayette last fall, stealing the money there to come on,* it is now alleged. He got to going wrong at Lafayette and his mother put him in the college here in February in the hope that he would reform. The students, it is alleged begun missing articles almost right away, something iinusal for that institution, and when the money was swiped from the barber shop it was thought best to bring the trouble to an end by running the culprit to earth, which it is thought has been done.
