Quite remarkable affair occurred with
in the past few weeks in this proverbially
quiet city, and only this morning it became
generally known. 1t appears from what
can learn the facts are follows Mr.. Robert
Murray, of Murraysville, was returning
home on the evening of the 21st ultimo,
after attending a sale in the city, he was
followed by a young man named James
Murray and another whose name could
net ascertain. The two young men became
very friendly towards Mr.. Murray, going to
his home with him land entering self invited
Mr. Murray was at the time visiting q
friend; next morning the following articles
were missed, viz. gold watch and chain
value $1,000; silk shawl value $1,000;
2 brooches value $500; an umbrella value
$3.50, and white shirts value $500. Mr..
Murry on learning his loss Immediately
communicated with the police, and since
that time they have been on the alert. No
tidings Of the missing goods were had until
Tuesday of this week, and from informa-
tion then received by Mr.. Murray, a search
warrant and one for the arrest of James
Murray was procured.
Officers Wadsley and Connor proceeded
last night to his boarding house, and on
searching of his apartment they found the
gold W atch silk shawl and brooch. Not
finding him there, they hurried off to Tas-
kers hue mill where he was at work
A messenger being sent to inform him
hat he was wanted at the gate. In few
moments he made his appearance, and ON
seeing the officers he Immediately fled. and
made good his escape. He was favored by
the darkness, and being thoroughly ae-
quainted with the intricacies of the works.
I am sorry to say that during the chase,
Officers Wadsley met with somewhat SER
ious accident.
