The Truly Wicked City OF Steu.
benYIlle,

From the Gazette Of yesterday EVENING"

lied. We are getting into the ways Of
the larger cities. We are becoming
noted for ways that arc dark and tricks
that are vain. 1t has become apparent
that man il not safe upon our streets
after night The above was brought to
our mind when we learned that j. II. s.
Trainer, Esq, while on his way home
Saturday evening was waylaid and had
his elegant gold watch and chain taken
from him by force. Mr.. Trainer had
been spending the evening with some
friends down town, and did not start to
his home on North Front street until q
late hour. As he walked along the street,
he heard footsteps behind him. They
came nearer and nearer, and when he
thought the persons were within q few
feet Of him he turned around, casually, to
let them pass. This was at the corner OF
Clinton and Fourth. Just rs he turned,
one Of the men caught him around the
waist, holding him 50 tightly that
he could not move his arms, The
other party wrenclel bis watch and
chain from him, and had 1t not been for
Mr.. Trainers calls for police, they would
have also taken his pocketbook, which
contained about 5000. Mr.. Trainers
voice aroused the entire neighborhOOd,
but the men had made good their escape,
and are still at large. The watch and
chain are said to be worth about Sl75.
Mr.. Trainer thinks he can identify the
parties should he see them again. We
presume the police will work the matter
up, and bring TO account the perpetrators
Of this desperate highway robbery.
