Taken on Larceny Charges.

Hartford City, Dec. 6. —A hobby for fine clothes resulted in the arrest at Bluffton of Mrs. Minnie Hurley, wife of Charles Hurley of this city, on a charge of larceny. She escaped prosecution when she left town after the sheriff turned her out of jail because he feared prosecution on his bond for false imprisonment if he held the woman without a warrant. Mrs. Hurley is charged with stealing several pairs of shoes and two pairs of silk stockings. At one place, it is said, the accused took a pair of shoes, and later returned them by her little daughter and obtained the money alleged to have been paid for them.
