In June or July last, the manager Of the
International Telegraph Company in this city,
A. w. Bancroft, who came here in Dec. 1869,
left the place very suddenly, taking with him
all the funds of the company which were in
his hands, but leaving behind many unpaid
bills for borrowed money, clothing, dry goods
&c., and leaving his wife here in destitute
circumstances. Afterwards it appeared that
he went from here to Albany, N. Y, and was
employed by the N. Y. c. r. r. Co., and
sent to their Little Falls, N. Y, office, to
act a. an assistant ticket agent and telegraph
operator, which position he held until No
vember last, when he left in the same manner
in which he left Augusta, taking the funds of
the railroad company to the amount of several
hundred dollars, and leaving behind him
many unpaid bills. 1t is thought that he has
found refuge in Canada, and those who will
discover him and bring him to justice will
serve the public good. He is about #. 8 in.
in height, SO years Of age, weighs about $50
pounds, is round shouldered, dark complex
ion, has had the small pox, bushes easily
when spoken to, talks slowly, and is an in
