N. C Davis a young switchman, aged 27, was arrested this morning by Officer
Bob Malone this morning on the charge of selling morthahed property, preferred
by James Knox. The story told by Knox is that some time last spring Davis, who
was about to leave the city, sold him a lot of household goods, but after he had
gone a man named Klock, South Tenth street secound hand dealer, turned up with a mortgage thereom for $ 17, which Knox was compelled to pay or sureder the goods. Since then he has been on the lookout for Davis, but the latter did not
return to the city until a few days since. The morning Knox caught sight of his
man in the Ivy Leaf saloon, and sent a man to police station while he tracker his
man. Davis left the saloon before the officer arrived, but was overhauled at Tenth and O streets. The accused has a very little to say, and took his arrest very coodly.
