this community, and the personal property OF the
citizens frequently suffers from the attachment OF
the Gght-Hngered gentry. number Of these
characters have recently organized gang for the
purpose of wrenching the bell knobs and plates

conducted very successfully and the rascals sue
ceeded in eiuding the police for some time; but
their race was nearly run, ard four OF them were
recently brought to grief by the detectives. An
examination Of the case showed that the property
was bought by some Junk dealers in the city, who
will be indicted for purchasing stolen goods and
for violating the rules of the city, which prohibit
