DARING ROBBERY 4 bold rob-
berry was committed in this city last Thurs
day. Two men entered the commission
store of Mr.. VIM. Bucheit, on Third street,
and while one attracted the attention Of Mr.
Bucheit to some goods, which The claimed he
wished to purchase, in part Of the store
distant from the Office, the other deliberate
Iy stepped behind the railing AMI dret
from the drawer of the office desk a roll of
bills containing $500. Both men got out
side about the sane time and the m3ney
being almost Immediately missed, chase
was given the there's. The fellow who
was trying to negotiate with Mr. B. FOR
the purchase OF butter, eggs, &c, was over
taken at the Linden House, but the com
rade headed north, and was soon lost sigh!
of by those following him. The one appre-
hended was taken before Justice Ducasse
and gave his name as Francis Weston. He
claimed to be a travelling agent, and con-
Sdered 1t very impolite on the part Of our
officials to thus disturb him in his business.
he denied having any connection with the
other man, but does not explain why he
should so far forget himself as to commence
running for dear life just when tho other
did. For want of sufficient testimony Jus
tice Duca8se availed himself OF the power
given him by the statutes of adjourning the
case over 10 days, and committed Weston
to Jail in default Of $4,000 bail. Ofcer,
OFF and Giles have made every effort to Sc
cure the real robber, but thus far have been
unsuccessful. There is no doubt these men
are both professional thieves, and are one
and the same party. 1t is known that they
both came into the city about the Same
time, one putting mp at the Linden House
and the other going into quarters at the
Buena Vista House. Before the robbery
both went into the Bank of Watertown to
change money, hut with the BILE pur-
pose in view of seeing how the land Law in
