Cleveland, July 1S.-Colonel George G, Minor.
late Secretary Of the Police Board, was arrested
this afternoon at the instance of Jacob strebinger
one of his bondsmen, against whom suit has been
brought by the city to recover Minors shortage.
He is charged with embezzling S25OO OF the city's
money. He was unable to procure bail, and is
spending the night behind the bars Minors ruin
has been as complete as 1t was sudden, and he Is
shattered in body and mind. Not one OF his old
friends or associates was willing to become his
