WORKED BY A NEW FRIEND.
Emil Schuessler, a German from Day Branch. Franklin county. Missouri, called at police headquarters yesterday and reported he had been confidenced out of $70 and some notes by Charles Shultz. Schnossler said he was a farmer and that Shultz came to his house one day and begged for work, which he gave him. Shultz finally persuaded him to sell his farm and they both went to St. Louis to look after some business and then started for Kansas City. When near this city Shultz persuaded him to allow him to carry the money, which he rather reluctantly did. In a short time he missed his friend and money and learned he had stopped at a small station a few miles out of the city. The police did not give him much hope of recovering his property.

On Saturday, the 4^th of May, at 9 o�clock in the evening, about fifty boatmen who had arrived that evening, at Franklin, (Missouri) in boats, to take supplies for the Council Bluffs, attacked the jail, and would probably have demolished it soon but for the interposition of the inhabitants. Seventeen of the gang were immediately taken and confined in the jail, the others dispersed & could not be found. They were kept there until morning, and then liberated on the payment of a fine. No person was confined in the jail at the time, and it appears to have been a mere act of wantonness. � N.Y. paper
