Show CRIME IN OGDEN. We cull from the Ogden Herald: On Friday evening, the building on Fifth Street, occupied by Messrs. Joseph Tyrrell and J. G. Chambers, was broken into by some unknown parties bent on mischief. Mr. Tyrrell's shoe shop was invaded and the strange visitors exchanged four pairs of new boots for a pair of old cloth slippers-which they can recover by calling for them. They also abstracted an apron and a pair of sleeves belonging to Mr. J. M. D. Taylor. In Mr. Chambers' place the burglars got $1 in cash, a quantity of thimbles and a number of pocket books. On Sunday evening a stranger who had been working all summer in this part of the country and had just made enough clean cash to return to his home in the east, was involuntarily relieved of his wealth. It appears that, on Saturday, he had been in company with two fellows who, finding out that he has money, played the friends dodge on him and kept ?? with him, pretending they intended going east, too. Last evening, while walking about the depot the verdant victim was encountered by the two "friends," who handled him rather roughly. They knocked him down and went through his pockets, depleting them totally, after which they "made off" with a ?? of $10. The robbed man hunted up the night-watchman, who assisted him in finding the regular police who are now keeping a steady look-out for the false friends. On Monday, before Commissioner ??, H. J. Faust was examined on a charge of committing an assault and battery upon J. W. Guthrie, at Corinne, on Sept. 2d. It seems that Faust committed a heavy battery upon Guthrie, and received severe punishment in return. |
