A FRIEND Turns THIEF.-Fricnd
ship in these degenerate days is not like
it was in the days of Damon and Pythi-
as. Two friends named respectively
Grout and Schober started out yesterday
morning to "do the town." By noon
they had completely Fulfilled
their mission, and they wound
up at the barber shop of the
St. James Hotel, pretty well saturated
with calamity rather. Grout finally con-
cluded to take bath, and shedIhimself of
his clothes for that purpose. As soon rs
he did SO, his friend Schober went
through them, taking about sixty dollars
in money, and Immediately started out
ofthe shop and broke up Water street to
Main and thence to the bridge at
two forty gait. The barber start
ed after the thief, but failed to catch
him. The police authorities were H.
formed of the affair, and the proper
methods were taken to have Schober
arrested, who had taken the ten o'clock
train at Bridgeport, for Pittsburgh.
Chief of Police Davis received telegram
that SchOber had been arrested at Steu-
benville, and would be down on the train
this morning, in charge Of an officer.
Capt. Davis will be at Bridgeport with
the proper documents to bring him to
this city.
