The Usual Curse Of the Gang.

On The first page of this issue
we publish an article shown:
the ultimate end of a lot o
scoundreIs and dead beats i,
Darke county. The slime o.
these snakes can be trailel il
every county, and away back ol
a seeming sincerity is the prof le
of the Boodler. We reproduce
below from The Lancaster Eagle,
& paragraph pertinent 10 tile
issue:
Some time ago John S Simon,
The Darke county treasury en-
bezzler, was se:,t TO the peniten
iiarv for six years. The amount
stolen from the treasury was
$4,000. Last week. Charles Guv.
er and Lorenzo Dow Bell were
tried. convicted and both SEN
fenced TO the penitentiary. Bell
has since made a confession. i'm
pIicating other parties, and more
arrests will follow. This is the
gang who tried 10 down C:iarIev
Rowland, but Charley downed
them. These are the kind of
fellows who make vigorous kick
ers. and are never satisfied with
ANYTHING short of the treasury
