around town hunting Purdy, and, possibly,
they might have told 4 few friends, conhden
italy, what was their business. TIE
Z Pardy had his friends, of course, and be-
ing posted as to the state of affairs, went
over the river, and out to Wilton junction
and we guess, from there to Muscatine,
and perhaps to Peoria.
The Port Byron officers, surprising him
to be in town, hunted around for him till
nearly night, and then went TO Marshal Crop
per, saying they were going to wait for the
western train, ashley thought he would
come back. He didn't come. Whether
they will pursue him remains to be seen.
tits pity they did not keep close
mouth, 60 directly to the city marshal, put
the case in his hands, and thus have caught
the bird and got back the money.
And any man who will get into converse
ton with a stranger and be taken in by the
thousand cunning devices of gamblers, and
sharpers, deserves to suffer little-but $l70,
on this young farmer is paying pretty dear
for the whistle.
