Ouick Justice

Yesterday a negro by the name of
Henry Cummings, went INTO the shoe
store of Mr.. II. T. Vatterlin, and, while
the clerk was busy, appropriated a pair
of shoes, ar d slipped them under his
coat, and started off to find place to
try them on. Mr.. Leo jacobson saw the
negro's movements were a little sus-
picious, and went over and notified the
clerk, who shortly overhauled the thief
and turned him over to a policeman. He
was tried before Judge Vary later in the
afternoon, and, the evidence being con-
elusive, he was sentenced to serve term
of sixty days in Jail.

A STARTLING DEVELOPMENT

Strange Conduct and Mysterious
Disappearance Of Prominent Mu.
stefan.
During the past two days some very
startling developments have been made
concerning Prof. Carl Won Weller,
which have created quite a str among a
great many of our society people. Mr..
Won Weller came to this city about a
year ago, and two months afterwards
took apartments at the st. Johns House,
where he remained up to a few weeks
since.
He represented himself to some as an
Austrian Count, giving his real name as
Count Won Jartenau and said that he had
a brother in Austria Count Won We'll
lingburgh. He also claimed to he the
possessor of large amount of valuable
property in California; among other
things a large vineyard at San Bernard
inc, also that he owned a great deal Of
Cincinnati railroad stocks. He also
claimed to have been a professor in the
Cincinnati College of Music and that he
had b en- a member of Theo. Thomas or
chestra.
Being a man of much intelligence and
withal shrewd, his various claims to title
and wealth were believed, and he was
admitted into the very best society and
made much of. He was chosen director
of the Philharmonic Society. which is
composed OF the best musical talent in
the city. and was also a leader of a
church choir.
1t is asserted by the reporters infor.
