Forgetfulueu—lts Result
Mr. Patrick Black forgot to read the
papers yesterday morning. If he had
read them, In all probability he would
not to-day be mourning the loss of 1680.
The particulars of a neat little game were
there set forth, and profiting by the ex
perience of others 'Patrick might
have saved himself from being swin
dled. He didn't, however, and the
result was disastrous. ^He arrived
in the city from Brady's Bend,
Armstrong county, yesterday morn
ing, with nine hundred and thirty
dollars in his pocket, on route to Nash
ville, Tennessee, where he expected to
Invest it In land. He bought his ticket
at the Union depot; and being of a com
municative disposition r soon fell in with
a genial fellow, respectably 'dressed and
gifted with a pleasing flow. of language,
who was also destined for. Natinville.
Genial friend was a merchant in Nash
ville and knew all about ,the, place.
After conversing a while he want
ed Patrick to accompany him down
town to attend to the shipping of a
couple of horses. Patrick accompanied
him on the fatal journey. On Fifth
avenue the stranger stepped into a car
pet store to get a one thousand dollar
greenback changed. In a few minutes
he returned, unsuccessful, and asked
the loan of gaso, so that he
might ship - the horses - immedi
ately,, and then go to the bank and
get the change for his • bill. Patrick
produced theamount asked and invest
ed it in this sure cure fin greenness. The
borrower then disappeared, telling him
to wait a few minutes for his return. He
waited, but wattedin vain. He informed
a policeman of the affair. Aroused all
the detective energies concentrated
at the Mayor's office. Described
his friend, whom he now impolite
ly denominated a thief, as, a short. man,
- with's& black moustache and dark cloth
ing. Several innocent short men were
quite abashed ,by the earnest attention
with which they seemed to be regarded
by the men of the, mace. But among
them all, the looked for Individual could
not be found. 'And so another , name is

hall and rooms for city offices, not only
without levying a tax for the same, but
providing a revenue almost equal to all

parties owning property in the vicinity,
proposed to be enclosed, gave them to

The Clearfield Bank Robbery.
The Raftsmen's Journal gives the fol
lowing particulars of the robbery of "the
County National Bank at Clearfield, on
the 18th ins% some account of which we
have already published: "First they
pulled the Lilley safe about two-thirds
of its length o t rside of the other door,
knocked off t e combination knob, and
then attempts to drive in and cut . , to
pieces the conical.shaped chilled-fron
center block in which the combination
operates. Evidently having found this
a fruitless effort, they then plied the
heavy sledge-hammer with great force
and vigor to the various portions of ''the
front edges of the safe and door, ibut
succeeded only_ in knocking off some
Small scales. Finally, however; it
seems, they found a weak spot—a flaw,
more than an inch in width and about
five inches in length, in the iron of 'the
door, to the-left of the combination. The
iron covering this defect in the door iwas
only about a quarter of an inch in thick
ness, and the inside about half an inch.
The outside portion over the flaw having
been broken in with the sledgehammer,.
they next drove a heavy steel punch
through the inner part and into the com
bination, breaking the lock into pieces.
.From appearances, the burglars evident
ly had a hard job on hand, and one which
must have taken them perhaps more
than an hour to accomplish, as the iron
.through which they forced their way is
literally covered with dents and marks;
and the great wonder is that they did not
alarm the whole town by the great num
ber of heavy blows they struck to seeure
their end: The robbery must have been
committed/between midnight and Morn
ing, and the amount secured by the ibur
glars was $15,000 In money and *4,500 in
government bonds.
"A telegraph dispatch
t ivas received
here on Saturday, announcing arrest
of two men at Mifflin, answering the de
scription of those who obtained the meal
at Dunbar, but were afterwards released.
On Monday, another dispatch was-re
ceived from Lock Haven, stating that
two men had been arrested at that place,
and who were adjudged to be two of
the burglars, but we have no further in
formation regarding them."
We may say, in addition, thati two
men, supposed to be the burglars, have
been tracked to the 'neighborhood of
Tyrone, where they disappeared In the
thickets. Officer Dressler, of this j city,
has been for several days absent in-that
locality, on the hunt, but has, as yet,
given no signs of success.
Sheep Shearing Festival. 1
The Stock and Wool Growers' Associa
tiOn of Upper St. Clair, Snowden and
adjoining townships held their simnel
sheep shearing festival at the faip of
Capt. John GlMilan yesterday. I
The festival was one of the largest ever
held in this county, and was in every
particular a grand success. There `were
over two thousand persons presenti and
among them : a number of candidates for
the several county and other offices.
The day was spent in the most agreeable
manner possible, and will long be re
membered by those who participated In
the festivities of the occasion as one of
the pleasant reminiscences of the past.
