HEAD BROKEN N WATCH STOLEN. lester
day forenoon a barber by the name of Hig-
don, went into the Weddell House barber
shop and began abusing the proprietors,
when Mr.. Aston ordered him to leave. He
refused to go, but waxed more violent, and
began calling vile names, when MIR. A. hit
him over the head with a bottle, inficting
a deep wound. Higdon had been discharg-
cd from employment in this shop last Sun
day.
The friends of the wounded man, after
taking him to a surgeon to get his head
dressed, accompanied him to Taylor and
Trappe's barber shop OIL Seneca street,
where he might wash off the blood. He
laid his gold watch, valued at $500, down
on the marble stand, and while engaged in
washing, a man Iamed Thomas Bryan,said
TO be a returned soldier, left the shop and
Immediately the watch was missing. The
large crowd which had gathered, gave chase
after Bryan, who had turned down an alley
near UmlOft's deying establishment. He
was soon overtaken, sent to the Police Sta
ton, but & search revealed nothing. He
was held, however, until strict search oftht
alley was made. In abouthalf a N hour the
watch was found in the middle of the alley
under a small piece of waste ca%rpeting.-
Bryan was considered good enough to keeI
and is now locked up.
Meantime HigdOn vas arrested for previ.
GUS lewd conduct in Browns saloon, cOrnel
ofsenecs and Centre streeto,and was locked
up. He was, however, bailed out.

MAIL RoBBER ARREsTED.-We learn that
on Saturday last al Important arrest of q
mail robber was made by Judge Rush R.
Sloane, General Agent of the Postofice De-
psrtment.- 1t appears that losses had been
frequent on the mail route between Lam
caster and Hebron, O., and after 9 thorough
investigation ofthe Offices on the route, the
attention of Judge Sloane was directed to
the mail carrier, and, after several trials,
conclusive evidence of his guilt was at last
found, and the carrier George W. Weakly,
who was contractor on the route, was ar
rested at Lancaster. When the prisoner
was confronted with the proofs against him,
he at once made a voluntary confession.
He had committed his thefts by opening
the locks of the mail pouches, and the key
which he used was one he had probably
picked up at one of the Offices on or near his
route. We should think mail robbers in
Ohio would go at some other occupation, for
it don't pay, and detection is certain. The
money order business is now in such gen.
eral operation, that but little money will
hereafter pass in the mails, and the risk of
being detected in stealing the few money
letters is greatly increased.

The Cleveland leader. [volume] (Cleveland [Ohio]) 1865-1865, 1865-06-27

AKoTHER CONFIDENCE GAHE.-A psid-of
soldier, Louis T%rotter, Co. E, 1llth O. vi,
was yesterday swindled out of all his money,
some $3.50, by g confidence man. It is the
old story, with hardly enough singulsrity
to Justify its recital. This soldier fell in
with stranger in front of the Railroad
building on the corner of Water and st.
Clair streets, and conversation on common
place affairs sprang up between them.
Finally the stranger told the soldier that
he was q merchant, his store was right over
there, pointing him to some dry goods
boxes outside of a distant building. He
hadn't quite funds enough 70 meet q
pressing obligation, and would tho
soldier lend him some money q few
moments, for which he would give e check.
Certainly" SAID the soldier, and he pull
ed out $3.50, all the money he had. The
man took it, told Trotter to wait on the
street q moment while he could 60 up
stairs to strsighten out his affairs. Oh
course, the soldier would be obliging to
that exent. He waited until he mistrust-
ed something, but too late-the bird Of
prey had flown.
1t is said that the merchant" treated
Trotter to a glass of beer in a certain gro
Gerry on St. Clair street. The villain may
be ferreted out by the police.
Mr. Trotter is a man of considerable age
has been in the army three years, and was
on his way home to Toledo. His money
all gone, he put up at the soldiers' Rest
last night.
In view Ofthe frequency with which thil
kind of imposition is practiced upon simple
honest soldiers, would it not be a capita
thing for the Aid Society to take some step
for the proper public notification of all sol

CLAIMS TO HAVE BEEN RoBBED.-H. A.
Harker, of Peoria, Illinois, lately of the
26th New York Cavalry, arrived at the
Home here yesterday. He had recently
been paid of, and claimed hat he had been
robbed of $S3 and his transportation. He
pushed on to Toledo, on his way home.
Soldiers are passing through every day,
who make similar complaints. Doubtless
most of their stories are true. The country
swarms with cut-throats who will watch
narrowly the movements of paid-off SOL
diers, and gobble up their hard-earned sub
stance whenever opportunity offers. The
boys must be wise as serpents and harm
less as doves, if they would all get on well
and avoid the nets of the crafty devils who
have privily laid the same for the STUN
bling feet of whatever careless JOhnnies
are now marching home.
