Private Henry Danville

 

Cincinnati Daily Gazette, Monday, 27 November 1871, page 1

SOLDIER-Henry Danville, a soldier from Newport Barracks, while endeavoring at a late hour Saturday night to persuade the toll collector at the suspension bridge to accept a small sized grindstone in payment for his passage over the bridge, was set upon and hustled off to the Hammond Street Station House by officers Conway and Mains on the charge of petit larceny.

The grindstone was also taken possession of and awaits an owner at the station. When that oft conjectured but never performed feat of stealing a red hot stove is performed, we shall have Mr. Danville in "our mind's eye" as a person it would be highly proper to interview upon the matter.
