CosFIpENCED OUT OF S200.-On Wedn-
esday of this week three strangers profess
ing to be descendants Of Abraham succeeded
in confidencing Mr. John Aster, the popular
baker, of this city TO the tune OF nearly
5000 in the currency of the realm. They
the pretext of buying shirts learned that the
proprietor was the happy recipient of az
heir TO all his worldly goods. AS they knew
the custom of the country from whence Mr..
Guettel came was TO cele citrate such occas-
ions by grand feast, one of them went to
Mr.. Aster and ordered fifty dollars worth OF
cake, etc., for the occasion. During the
conversation he remarked that he WAS Mr.
Guettles brother, and would Mr. Aster &C
mnodate him with a loan of $500, as the
bank was closed and he wanted to purchase
a few necessary articles. He could have
his ''eold watch a very valuable one with
him, as security. Jus; then second rascal
came in, and said
"Good morning Mr. Guettel, making
some purchases for your brothers celebra.
ton? Why here, take my watch too for
security if you wish, knaw you are good
for so trifling sum-"
The tritiing sum was handed over, they
left and Mr.. As,er unconsciously became the
owner of two first class $3.50 watches.
Thinking he had several hundred dollars
worth of watches, he was not in the least
uneasy until yesterday morning, at o'clock,
when he made the discovery that he was a
victim to the tune of $3.50. The facts were
placed in the hands of Policeman Tomp kins,
who traced two of the rsscals to Carbon
Cliff, where they 6ald over night, represent
ing themselves as cattle buyers. From
Carbon Cliff they walked to Colona, where
they took the cara for Chicago. AS it was
considered useless to follow them further,
Policeman Tompkins came home, and the
chase was abandoned. Mr.. Aster will not
be obliged to pay any tax On valuable gold
watches, although he has two for sale.
