A few nights ago as n gen. man liv-
ing In the upper part of the city was go
ing home, when near the corner Of Four
tecnth street aud Commercial avenue, he
was approached by stranger who
wanted 10 know "what time" it was. Mr..
G. replied tina. it was halfpast eleven.
The stranger, who was evidently a thief
and bent on stealing watch. said he had
some cuisines TO attend to and desired

a blow OH the nose which sent him

get back home. He was a tine-lookins
young fellow, and told his story with ap
parent frankness and candor. Tho
