BELIArRE LoCAIs.-Our city, at the
present time, is infested by gang Of the
most lawless, desperate and cold looking
rascals, to use a mild term, as ever trod
the streets Of Bellaire, and it is only a
question, OF very short time, for some
Of our good people to fully realize that
fact. In addition to that "Trio" Of no.
torious "Shovers Of the queer" who for
the last two months have been sojourn-
ing here, dead beating and bamboozling,
ad libitum, behold there arrived few
weeks ago, three "new recruits" who, to
judge by their appearance, manners and
graceful swag, usually assumed by the
low order Of roughs, are without any
doubt thoroughly versed and drilled in
the art and science Of giving the dead
blow, burglarizing, robbing, garroting,
or in any crime down 10 chicken stealing.
It is thought and hoped, however, that
our people, in view OF the warning given
others through the columns Of this pa
per, may be simply prepared, in case OF
events, to give the "B'h'oys," should they
attempt to carry their devilish designs
into execution, a flaming reception,
which may bring forth a "last yell" or
furnish the signal at least for the "grand
bounce" II not out Of order, we would
again say to our people, beware OF bur.
glars and thieves"
