GONE HER THE
TWIN
ETH.
Eight Hundred Dollars and
a Gold Watch and Chain.
A Well Known Young Mar
Falls in with the Girls"
and is Dragged.

For the past year there has lived
in this city Il young gentleman, who
has done nothing but pay his board
and washing bills pro mptly, and On.
joying himselfin the abundant mean.
time. He never seemed to be out OF
money, and always spent it freely.
On general principles he is consid-
cred a bully boy, and a "hale fellow,
well met" He is most gentlemanly
young man, and never INDUCES in a
stronger oath than "by Jove," and
never drinks anything-except the
very best that the city affords.
Well, to make a long story short,
this young gentleman of leisure went
on a general hurrah a few days ago,
and took a tripabout the city, making
the grand rounds. The consequence
was that during his travels he fell in
with the fancy demi-mondc, and hav-
ing eight hundred dollars
in his pocket, he proceed
ed to spread himself, setting up the
champagne literally. Next morning
the young man woke up, and upon
regaining his senses found himself in
a strange place, andhis eight hundred
dollars and his watch and chain van
ishcd like the dew beneath a summer
mornings sun. He told several of
his friends Of the affair, and gave it
as his opinion that he must have been
drugged and robbed.
He did not know what to do about
it, but finally concluded not to at
tempt to recover his money and
watch, AS by so doing he would ex-
pose himself to the public, which he
did not care to do. This is the same
course pursued by the majority of
young men who are thus beaten, and
who rather grin and bear their loss
than to suffer the shame of exposure,
and therefore we do not hear of halt
the "ways hat are dark and the
tricks that are vain"
The young man, however, is happy
again, a. he has received another in
stallment from home, either from his
fathero or from his own resources. Here
after he proposes, when undertaking
a similar trip, to take only enough
money along to pay his actual ex-
pcnscs.
Omaha daily bee., 1872-12-31

At half past II o'clock, yester-
day afternoon, Mr.. Charles Mcclure
died of chronic dysentery, at his resi-
dencc on Howard street, between
Twelfth and Thirteenth.
The deceased was born in Canada.
in May, 1888, and was therefore yet
Il young man. He was the second
oldest son Of a family Of eight chill
dicn, all OF whom are living. He
was married in Adell, Iowa, fourteen
years ago, aud he leaves Il wife and
four children to mourn his early
death.
For five months the deceased was a
most patient sufferer from this slow
and insidious disease and during his
long and painful illness he cherished,
till within a few days, the fond hope
of an early and thorough restoration
to health. When it became appar,
ent to him, however, that his time
upon earth was of short duration, he
prepared himself to meet his fate
with the utmost calmness and resig-
nation of spirit. He retained his
consciousness almos. to the very last
moment, and during his last hours he
spent his time in arranging his spir-
itual and worldly affairs, and giving
minute directions to his friends as to
the manner and place of his burial.
The deceased leaves behind him,
besides his family, a large circle of
warm personal friends, who all deep
ly regret his. early death. He may
be considered as one of Omaha's old
est citizens, having come to this city
nine years ago, during which time
he was an active, industrious, and en-
terprising citizen, and it was through
these qualities that he accumulated
considerable property.
The funeral will take place to-
morrow afternoon at . o'clock, from
the residence.
