Levy In the Tolls.
George Levy, the young fellow who
clerked for M. Eppinger, some weeks
ago; and who left the city between two
days, after having bamboozled the inno-
cent residents out of about fifty dollars
by means of forged checks, has at last
fallen into the clutches of the authori-
ties. Levy has logged along easily
through the country until he reached
Rochester, N. Y, and there, running
short of funds he again attempted to
raise collateral upon othor persons
checks, signed with his own aptly dex-
trous hand. A telegram from Rochester
says:
Detectives yesterday arrested a young
man named George Levy, 26 years old, for
obtaining goods on forged orders. Levy
IS evidently a very clever crook, as letter
heads of w%ell-known firms in Albany,
milwaukee,, Bismarck, and Washington
were found or his person. Levy claims to
be a resident of New York.
Mr.. Eppinger Friday received a let
ter from the chief of police at Rochester,
stating that some of his letter heads and
letters of recommendation from him
(Eppinger) had been found on Levy's
person. The letter u1ther states tina
he 1.-THE chief would hold Levy on his
own authority, until he heard from Mr..
Eppinger as to his former relations with
him.
Mr.. Eppinger Immediately wrote the
chief of police, giving a full account of
his experience with Levy, and stating
that he had forged checks while here.
This letter will not tend to influence the
officer of the law in Levy's behalf, and it
is very probable he will shortly find him
self where there is a distinct prejudice
against forgers-Sing Sing.
A Packet Line.
b. Strom Of this city has received
from B. S. Holmes of Sioux City, Iowa,
the certificates of inspection and the
permit Of the steamer Castalia, to run on
the Missouri river, from Bismarck, Coal
Harbor and upper points to Fort Yates,
and other river points below.
The object of this is the intention of
Mr.. Holmes to establish a regular week.
ly packet line between the points above
mentioned. The Castalia is a steamer
OF ninety tons burden, a speed of eight
miles an hour, has six staterooms,
twelve berths, and accommodations for
twenty-five passengers. Beside the
business of transporting passengers, the
owners of the steamer propose to do a
good share of the freighting between
Bismarck and Yates, and between Bis.
marck and Coal Harbor, as soon as the
river opens.
MI. Strom expects to leave for Sioux
City about the middle of February, to
examine the steamer and prepare her
for the upriver trip. The advantages of
q regular steamer between this city, and
points above and below will be many,
and the project will no doubt be a u G
cess.
