four years. He pursued the business for
many years, and retired in 1872 with large
fortune. About a year ago burglars gagged
Mrs. Danser, and stole $20,0 1000 in bonds.
Some of the property was recovered. When
John Harper lost all his money on LongfeE
low Danser assisted him out OF bis tinan-

blacks stole $1,000 from his pocket. Z The

recovered, but Danser induced the district
