Robbing a soldier.
--An invalid soldier, named Richard A. Cox, stopped at the Columbian Hotel, on Friday evening last, and had scarcely deposited his knapsack of clothing in his apartment before it was spirited away in a mysterious manner.
Mr. C. B. Luck soon discovered one of the thieves, and Mr. Brannan the other, and they were at once taken into custody.
They are quite youthful, and give their names as John Harper and John Williams.
One of them had carried a knapsack out of the house, and was making off with it when discovered, and the other remained behind for the purpose of securing a trunk, which he had moved from one room into another.
The Mayor on Saturday remanded the prisoners, to be examined for grand larceny.
