THAT RoRBERY.-There was chap in town
yesterday who knew all the particulars of the
robbery at Winthrop Friday morning. He
wore slouched hat and linen buster; his
boots were number elevens, and his pants
rested on the tops of them; his face was very
red, and taken all in all, his figure was strk-
ing one to behold. He met Officer Fields on
Congress street, and noticing his brass buttons,
saw that any news of the robbers would be
received with joy by that officer. He didn't
say he saw the robbery actually committed,
but he was around and saw the men the night
before, and talked with them. They talked
well, but he knew that they were bad lot and
decided to watch them He heard the noise
when the safes were blown open, but thought
that there would be time enough to get there,
and so did not hurry. When he arrived they
had just gone, as had the money in the bank.
He raised the alarm, but the fellows got away.
He then gave the officer graphic description
of the men who committed the robbery 1t is
needless to say that the fellow was drunk and
didn't know it,
