STOLE A GOLD WATCH.
II Was the Property OF Jacob
Schcrmc rhOru.


Some time ago a young fellow who
hailed from Susquehanna, applied for
a boarding place at the home of Mr..
and Mrs Isaac Atno. ON Dund9n street.
He was taken in and soon after secured
place at the Hendrick Manufacture
ing works. He gave his name as Fred
Van Gorder.
There are several other boarderS at
the same place, among whom is Jacob
Scherlnerhorn. Mr.. Schermerhorn was
taking bath at the time of the theft,
and left his watch and gold ring in his
bed room. Upon his return to the bed
room no trace of either was found. AS
Van GOrder was absent and did not re-
turn, he was thought to be the thief,
and Mr.. Schermerhorn took measures
to secure his property. AT the office of
Alderman Jones he Swore out war
rant which was given to Constable
Neary to serve. No trace of the young
fellow could be found around the city,
but the constable was informed that he
was seen to mount street car going
south. He took the o'clock train af
ter the fugitive and at Mayfield he was
seen upon the platform. Neary at
once arrested him and he was brought
| to this city. The gold watch was found
in his pocket and the ring was upon his
finger.
