NJ. COMBS, JR., Loses ANOTHER
WATcH.-The thrilling adventures of NJ.
Combs, IT,, have monopolized the news
papers to no little extent lately. A short
time since Captain Combs accused a
notorious bagnio keeper, named Belle
Clover, of stealing his gold watch. The
fair Belle was arrested, but discharged.
Then Major Combs procured her rearrest
on the same accusation, but the grand
jury failing to find true bill, she was
once more released. Again was she
taken in custody, and again released.
Last night, Colonel Combs, charmed by
the siren voice of handsome little beer
jerker, named Maggie Stowe, followed
her to her home on Jefferson street. Once
there, we regret to state, Major General
Combs became sufficiently disorderly to
attract the attention Of Sergeant Brown,
of the police. AS a sequel to the orgies,
Lieutenant General Combs and the fair
Maggie were escorted to the station
house. The former deposited a silver
watch as forfeit, but not appearing at
trial this morning, the property was
ruthlessly confscated by Commissioner
Richards, The fates are evidently ad-
verse to Field Marshal Combs.
