fifty thousand. With regard to those

On Thursday Officer Martin came up
to fellow in the act of seeing green
hide to business man on Commercial ave-
nue.. The appearance of the man was not
that Of farmer, but Of lazy tramp, and
his behavior was not that Of trader who
desired to make the most out Of what he
had to sell, but of thief anxious to get rid
of bis goods at almost any price. After
listening awhile to the mans unsuccessful
endeavors to sell the hide, the officer said
he would buy the hide aud asked the price.
"a thousand dollars" said the fellow
Alright said the officer, " guess III take
1t and you, too. Come along" Aud the
officer marched the man Off to jail and
then proceeded to hunt for

lucky, little above this place; but all in
quiry by the officer proved fruitless, and in
the evening the officer liberated the fellow
who remarked rs he le it that he did steal
that hide but it couldn't be proven on him.
But yesterday morning Mr.. james Law, of
the wharf boat, missed one Of pile of
green hides awaiting shipment He went
tolhe establishmentof Mr., Henry 5ayers, on
Ohio levee, and inquired ifany one had of.
fcred a hide for sale there within the hour
and was answered in the affirmative. A
man had broughta hide there for sale, but
the cashier being out, had consented to
leave the hide and call again
for the money Being shown
the hide Mr. Law recognized it as
the one stolen from the wharf boat, and
he went forthwith 10 notify the officcrs,
whom he also gave a description Of the fell
low who had sold the hide, Officer Ma.
hauny recognized in the description the
same fellow whom Officer Martin had ar.
rested the day before. He wendell his
way toward Mr.. Sayer's place, and just as
he turned the corner he esped his man
standing with two Others behind train of
freight cars, peerlng around aud under
meath, watching another officer who was
standing near the font door of the shop.
Officer Mahanny surprised the little group
of watchers behind the train and requested
them all to step over to the shop, where
they were confronted with the man who
had bought the hide, who pointed out the
man who had sold II, who proved to be, as
suspected, the same who had boosted the
day before that he had stolen the other
hide, etc. The fellow was taken before
Magistrate Comings where he gave his
name as Louis Snages, and was held to bail
in the sum Of two hundred dollars to an
swer the charge of burglary and larcency
