A man who gave his name as Tanning got
tired Of walking yesterday afternoon, and took
a horse and buggy from in front ef the Singer
sewing machiue company's office, and started
off for good, easy time. He was overhauled
on lower Seventh street by Officer Distler a
up. 1t is needless to say that Tanning was
drunk. He Will be sober this morning.
About O'Clock last evening young man
by the name of N. P. Clarke, who is employed
by Noyes Bros. & Cutler, called at police head
quarters and stated that his room in Mrs.
Brewster's boarding house, on the corner of
Sixth and Robert streets, had been entered, his
trunk broken open and $500 in money, a dia-
mond ring and diamond stud and other arti-
cles stolen. The theft was committed between
the hours of and 6 o'clock p. M, as the
chambermaid was in the room at p. m. and
everything was right, and Mr.. Clarke returned
to supper at 6 p. m. There is no clue thus
far to the thief and probably never will be.
That colored rooster, John Allen, is bad
egg. He has spent most of the years of his
manhood behind the bars. His arrest yester-
| day by Officer Hanft for ASSEMBLING an un-
known man was mentioned in the GLOBE yes
terday. He had hearing before Judge Burr
yesterday morning when it was learned that
the man he attempted to rob was one John
itoba road. Horrigan was hardly able to give
a connected account of the affair, but what he
| did say was corrOborated by other circum-
stantial evidence, and Allen was held to
answer to the grand jury.
| committee consisting of Col. A. R..
Kiefer, George Freeman and W. F. VonDeyn,
representing the residents on Dayton's bluff,
waited on Mayor Rice yesterday, and asked
for the detail of policeman to serve in that
part of the city from Maria avenue to Day
tons bluff proper. The mayor listened to
their request, and finally told the committee
he would appoint as many special policemen
as they desired providing the citizens would
recommend, and pay them. As the force is
now constituted, it is impossible to detail any
one of the force for regular special duty.
The attention of Officers KenealIy and Cor
man, who are on duty at the depots and on
of man yesterday afternoon who stole row
boat and started out into the stream. The
| boat drifted down under the trestle work be-
low the old elevator, and it was with difficulty
that he was rescued. The man evidently had
an idea of ending his career by drowning.
The two officers had hard job in conveying
him to the city hall, where he sank into q
drunken sleep. He was unable to give his
name, but he was recognized as a man who
had been working in Burke's livery stable.
Deputy County Treasurer Burton was buslly
engaged yesterday in removing the old books,
records, etc, of the county treasurer's office
from the old vault to the new one. The
removal unearthed number of books, docu-
ments, ETC., which belong to past age.
Among others was the first day book of the
cash transactions kept in the office. The first
entry was made February IL, 1852, and the
entire business OF the first three months occu-
pied only three pages of a small account book,
there being six entries to the page. The
primitive record contains the names of many
who have long since passed away, as well as
a number who are still struggling with the
world.
Sheriff Richter had sort of picnic at the
Jail last evening" Among his prisoners is a
ed Pierce. He became unruly yesterday after
noon, and it was found necessary to cOnfine
him in his CELL He resented this by COM
mencing to howl, and he kept up his yells un-
til far in the evening. Sheriff Mertz, of Cass
county, is stopping with Sheriff Richter, and
he had an opportunity of seeing what he calls
A the worst specimen of prisoner he ever came
across, even in his dealings with half-breeds
and worse white men. The negro's yells dis
turbed the entire Jail, and after being expostu-
lated with and coaxed for long time, Sheriff
| Rinhter concluded to try more effectual means
to quiet him, but all in vain. At midnight
the fellow was still raising hades, and it is
barely possible that the sheriff would have to
resort to more violent measures to put a stor
to his devilish antics.
