The disappearance of the man Kelley
which was announced in yesterdays
REPUBLICAN created considerable stir.
His operations were more extensive than
at first supposed. He tossed up with
Mr.. Dunn, the proprietor of the hotel
for two suits of clothes, the man throw
ing head, obligating himself to pay for
them. Kelley lost. Dunn went and
made Mr.. William O'Conner, the tailor,
happy by ordering the best he had. A
toss was made for two pairs of boots.
Dunn lost the toss, and Grubb, the shoe
man, sold the boots, Mr.. Dunn being
responsible for them. A hat was tossed
up for. Kelley won, and McCloskey the
halter. was honored with the order but
it was afterward countermanded. Kelley
ordered two carriages from Cahill q
Hudson, build ers. The only one who
received money was Mr.. Henry Lape,
who was given $40 to purchase lumber
with. A prominent grocer not many
miles from Second Street was skir
mishing around town to inform
him that he had the broadest
front on Market street. Kelley engaged
John B. Stradley to paint lot of signs
for him, and was to call this evening.
As far as we are able to learn these
