Yesterday by Officer Heinzman on = warrant
sworn out BY George Koch, who resides at the
corner Of North avenue and Hurlbut street. He
is charged with having retained possession Of 8
valuable gun which was loaned to him.
The man who would steal thirty empty dry
goods cases OF enormous size may be set down
as born thief, whose native place is the Peni-
tentiary. Such q theft was committed on Friday
evening, at No. III East Madison street, store
occupied by E. Hoffman. The matter has been
reported to the police authorities.
Store-keepers should look out for youth 70
years Of age, about feet II inches high, with
light hair. He passed $50 coun terfeit bill yes
terday, and is believed to be the individual who
has been {; showing " bills Of that denomina-
ton, in this city for some time past. Many per-
sons have taken them, and lodged complaints
with United States Commissioner Hoyne, but
the Government Detectives have been unable
to capture the young man.
An officer Of the Sixth Precinct came across
two bel1igerent drunkards, at the corner Of AIil-
waulee avenue and Kinzie streot, at 10 o'clock
their friends surrounded him and rescued tho
prisoners, and then proceeded to kick the repre-
sentative Of the law into the gutter. He rallied
in time to recapture one OF bis prizes, whom he
landed safely at the station house. The fellow
gave the namc of George Roberts.
