of William Hopkins, was decoyed into an alley
by two "thmbe riggers," who informed him
that there were ''Indians about" which he
could see by going with them Stree gratis, for
| nothing" When they arrived at the place the
| Indians had "sloped" and rather than not see
any sport, the new acquaintances produced the
cups and balls, and persuaded Mr.. Hopkins to
bet $40, that he could tell where the "lttle
joker" was. The stakeholder when he re-
Ceived the money "bolted," and his comrade
ran TO "catch the rascal" One of the parties,
who gave his name as Henry Williams, of
Albany, N. Y, was subsequently arrested and
committed to jail on the charge of swindling.
About $40 in spurious notes, was found upon
his person.
The Fourth of July. A meeting was held

Corps of the city, the Association of Deien-
ders of 1914" and the various Civic Associa-

The "Baltimors Tigers" A new COMPANY
with the above title, under the command of
w. A. H. Schaefer, has been formed in this
city, for active operations against the Mexcans.
The Patriot says "they intend offering their
services to the President, and ifrefused, purpose
going on their "own hook" If not permitted
to join the regular ranks when they have reach
ed the Rio Grande, they propose fighting any {
how, single and alone! We would advise ali
the "bloody Mexcans" to "leave," before the
Tigers arrive out, for if they do not, there will
certainly be fight, and it is easy TO prophecy {
who'll cry out enough" first. Huna! for the
Baltimore Tigers. -
The German Volunteers. We are informed
hat this company of Volunteers, still remain Il
'ncamped in the Eastern suburbs, and now a
number about 80 members. MANY of them /
re old soldiers who have seen much service Il
n both Europe and the United States, and if r.
ully equipped would no doubt be a valuable =,
cqulsltlon to our army. A gentleman whom til
hey have selected as their Captain has pro- in
eeded to Washington, to endeavor to get CO
nelr services accepted either in the District
'atalllon, or in some other manner, and we HI
ope ne may be successful. They are certain Ba
very Jealous to serve the country, for they W
ave been encamped more than two weeks,
Importing themselves on their means, and
ch contributions as our citizens have seen dat
oper to bestow upon them.
