THE RECORD. Tioga County, NY March 12, 1891 #4 HARRY BROOKS' DOUBLE DUTY. Editor-in-chief Charles HAZARD retires from editorial charge of the Elmira Telegram on account of failing health.

BROOKS, the business manager, will assume in addition to his already arduous duties, those laid aside by Mr. HAZARD, and his readers may feel assured that everyone at whom he aims a blow will not be able to pass it on to someone else, for it will tell its own story. Mr. Hazard retains his financial interests in the Telegram bonanza. SPENCER ITEMS.

Waverly, March 8. - Thomas YOUNG, manager of the variety store known as "the fair," was arrested yesterday afternoon on an order issued out of the supreme court of Monroe county. He is charged with obtaining goods of a Rochester firm under false pretense, representing himself as to be an agent for a principle who it is now alleged has no tangible existence. Sheriff GREER of Owego and Deputy Sheriff MEYERS of Waverly made the arrest. They found YOUNG in bed and compelled him to dress and took him to the county jail in Owego. YOUNG was in Syracuse last week on supplementary proceedings where it is said the disclosures were made that led to his arrest. Of late YOUNG has been conducting business as the agent of his sister-in-law, from whom he holds a power of attorney, but just how she came in possession of the goods seems not to be known. It promises to be a very serious matter for Mr. YOUNG. - Elmira Advertiser. EXEMPT FROM JURY DUTY.
