THE CITY

A WALKIEs ARsEEAL.-Y yesterday after-
noon large and heavy trunk at the Depot
attracted the attention of the inspectors,
who apprehended that it might contain
something which would call for an exercise
of the powers conferred upon them. The
owner being found, the trunk was opened,
and sure enough, was found to be filled with
bowie knives. Under the circumstances il
was retained for further investigation. The
proprietor had also belt about his waist,
which was likewise stuck full Of the same
species of cutlery. He claims to be man
ufaeturer, and says he is taking the knives
from this city 70 Indianapolis to be sold.-
The officers have autographed there to ascer-
tain the facts.
LATER.--The person referred TO above is a
Mr., G. A. Hicks, resident of the West
Side. The Inspectors at the Depot had
warning that he would leave last evening,
and were watching his movements. He
tried to get a pass from one Of the Inspec-
tors, but failing in this, he procured ticket
for Indianapolis, and was about leaving on
the cars, when he was informed that he
must give some city reference. This he
failed te do. By an arrangement, however,
his baggage was sent to Gov. Morton, Of In
diana, by express, and 8 letter to the Gov
ernor explaining the whole transaction, and
if Mr.. Hicks is prepared to satisfy Governor
Morton that all is right, he viii receive his
goods otherwise, the dealer in fancy cut7
lery will be dealt with as he deserves. The
trunk contained one hundred and three
bowie knives. ,.---.. = ~
