City Marshal McGowan has received a card from Geo. Stroll, chief of police of Hamilton, Ohio, asking him to watch for and arrest two men who are wanted for grand larceny. They represent themselves as traveling photographers, who have orders out in the country to photograph residences and stock. They were here Tuesday and made a friendly call on Joe Sharp and engaged him to go out and help tuke a lot of pictures they had orders for, but had no oamera large enough. They then oontided to Joe that their buggy was around ut one of the shops and that they were a little shy of the motley jo pay for having it repaired. Joe put up a dollur sixty and thats the last he saw of them. One of the men is about 5 ft 7 inches tall and weights about 180 lbs, and is about 46 yeurs old, and an old soak.
