they naturally conclude that such firms are wide

arrest of two notorious and desperate
thieves at Nc Gregor, by detective officer

drowning of the prisoners by jumping
from the steamboat on which they were

double-cased gold hunter watch, worth
$3.50, for the loan of $40 for a few days,
but failed all around. Burke followed
him until he appeared to give up. and
went to the City Hotel, where Burke
bantered him for bargain. and bought
the watch for $50. Pretending not to
have the money with him, the man was
invited to 60 with Burke to his Office
for the funds. Starting down street,
the fellow began to, ''smcll rat" and
asked the officer to 60 off from Main
street, away from the crowd, ostensibly
for the purpose Of talking the matter
over, and they. accordingly went on
Bench street near the Liberty. Engine
