A New STYLE OF ADVERTISING. MANY
of our citizens were somewhat surprised
this morning at seeing man promenad-
ing the principal streets, escorted by two
policemen, with two printed cards on
him announcing that he was Pick
pocket and Thief" The individual thus
favored by having his business adver-
tised free of charge is Joe Butts, alias
G. Adams, and is well known to the
police as sneak thief and pickpocket
He arrived in this city from the North
about two months since, and has been
making living without work during that
time. Last night he was arrested on the
complaint of man whose pocket he had
tried to investigate, and was fined
twenty. five dollars in the Police Court
this morning for vagrancy. After being
marched around the city, he was placed in
the chaihgang corps for ffty-three days.
Col. Beaumont intends treating the large
number Of disreputable strangers who
infest our city in similar manner, in
the belief that it may induce them to
change their base and move to some
more congenial cline. If he succeeds in
Kidding the city of these thieves robbers,
and murderers, by any means, he will be
entitled to the thanks of the community.
