Yes'erday there arrived from Clarinda ,
A. II. Whipplo , in charge of the shot ill'
of that county , and accompanied by Ma
jor Woods , of the secret service of the
Chicago , Jturlington & Qnincy ,
and Jimmy Davis , another shrewd
detective , of Omaha. The eases
against Whipplo have been worked up
mainly by Davis , Major Woods assisting
him. Whipple was formerly ticket agent
at Coin , and later has been buying grain.
Jt is claimed that he has for some time
been going wrong , and has been guilty
of forging railway tickets. Jlis mode of
procedure seems to have been to buy a
ticket , for instance , from Glenwood to
I'liittsiiiontli , and then erase the name
J'lattsmouth , and substitute therefor the
name of Denver. Such an altered ticket
ho is said to have sold to D. W. Hubhnell ,
of this city , on the flth ilay of Novem
ber last. lie was charged willi a like
olleiise at Clarinda , and his bail on that
charco was fixed at $3,000. Another in
formation has been tiled against him
here , on account of the ticket sold to
liuslincll. Jt is said that he disposed of
several such tickets in Omaha , and
ho refused yesterday to go across the
river , so that it will be necessary to se
cure requisition papers first. When in
this city in November he is said to have
registered at the Ogden house at K. V.

A "Con" Man ConvhMcd.
The jury in the case of Uoyd , bolter
known as "Camanchc Hill , " yesterday
returned a verdict linding him guilty. Jt
is so seldom that one of this class of fol
lows can be convicted that it is a pleasing
relief from the usual termination of such
cases. "Cumanchc JJill" only got
from his victim , and will have to
take a stretch for it. Ilo is the fellow who
made such a desperate attempt to dig out
ol the city jail , and who so nearly ac-
cnmplMicit his purpose. Ho is a slippery
fellow , and will take any sort of chances
rather than .sutler himself to bo lodged in
the penitentiary. He has been notorious
for years , but this is the liral time , so far
as known , that ho has been convicted.
Although arrested often , ho has always
managed to get the cases dismissed , the
suckorf bought olVor in some way made
good his escape ,

Throe ypung fellows were yesterday
before Judge "Aylesworth on u writ of
habeas corpus. They had been arrested
and placed in jail in Gicmvood on the
charge of having burned some of the
fencing of the Chicago , Burlington &
( juincy railway. After examining into
the. facts the judge decided that tlinro was
a lack of evidence Identifying them as
the guilty parties , and he accordingly
discharged them , It seems that some one
knocked three boards on" from the railway -
way fatten and built a lire with them.
Some hours afterward these tlirea were
found warming themselves by the
ciuburs. Thov claimed that they did not
'
build the tiro.'and know nothing ol its
origin , leaving the inference that some
other party had been guilty of llio offense -
fense , and that they dicovering the
chance to get a little warmth improyed it.

The mayor and the marshal yesterday
considered the advisability of dragging
the river for the body of John Mont
gomery , the watchman who fell in from
the bridge at anearly hour Thursday
morning. It was decided that such sv
, seal eh would uvaillittle , as the chances
are that the | > ody tins long siu'cc been
swept far away. The particulars of the
drowning arc peculiarly sad. The other
watchman heard the cry of the unfortun
ate man , and went to his rescue , but just
as ho reached him hl < ? luntcrn xvns
knocked over , and In the darkness his
attempt to catch the drowning man
resulted only in getting hold of his hat.
The drowning man sank out ot sight
before another grasp oould be made even.
John Montgomery was a hard working
young man , who was the only child and
chief support for his aged parents , who
live near the packing house. The old
gentleman is nearly beside himself and
lias to bo watched closely to prevent his
going to the river and needlessly expos
ing himself in trying to recover the body.
