"City Criminal Matters
"Alderman Smith yesterday issued
warrants for John Gance and William Johnson, both
colored, who were later arrested and placed in the
lockup. They stand charged with committing as
assault upon the person of John Henry, also
colored, in this city on the night of December
26th, and robbing him of a considerable sum of
money. They were to be given a hearing this
afternoon, and the prospect seemed good for both
the prisoners taking an excursion to
Hollidaysburg."
