SHARP CONFIDENCE GAME A gentle |
manly looking scamp, who by some means
became possessed of passenger conductors |
punch and badge. made his appearance in
jackson township, rot many days ago, and |
represented himself as nephew of the late |
Superintendent Of the 2. R. r. and the CON
ductor OF passenger train on said road for |
which he was anxious to engage a brakeman. |
He made himself ut home in the family of |
Mr.. Geo. Burkey for a few days, and indu- |
ced a soa of that gentleman to accompany |
him as far ss this place, under pre.ence of !
giving him the vacant position. Here he |
probably discovered that young Burkey |
either had DO money or was not willing to |
be heeced. he took French leave of him |
on Monday evening of last week, by jumping |
on the Branch train shortly after it had left |
the station at this place. On the way TO |
Cresson he got on the engine and induced |
the engineer To slacken speed and leave him !
of at the turnpike crossing, short distance |
this side of the latter place. Where he hid |
himself during the day is not known, but |
Tuesday evening he made his appearance |
at Vaughn's saw mill, and was not long in
making arrangements with a young German |
named Peter Barr or Bard to accompany him
to Altoona. promising him the vacant brake
manshp at $50 per month aDd boarding.
On their way to Altoona the pseudo conduc-
tor,,Iucceeded in borrowing his victims watch
alleging that he had forgotten his in Pitts
burg, and that it was requisite for him TO
have one by which to time the train to that |
city. He also made Barr believe that it was
necessary for him to buy a brakenan's uni
form, and as he knew exactly where the
clothing could be had in Altoona, be propo-
sed that his victim should entrust him with |
sufficient funds for the purpose and remain
at the station until he would return with
the outfit. Barr, ,thereupon handed over S28
to Mr.. Conductor. who joyfully set out on
his generous mission. but probably failed to
.
his young German friend has neither donned
the,brakeman's uniform, got his money back,
or received one word of information from the
bogus conductor. Mr.. Barr, we are told,
remained at the Altoona station until about
midnight, when the idea finally made its
way through his thick skull that he had been
swindled out of his watch and money. and it
may we'll be supposed that he reached home
next morning a "madder" if not wiser
man. Bought wit is a high priced article,
hut since Mr. Barr has been forced to invest
in that valuable commodity, it is to be hoped
that he will make good use of it in the fu-
ture.
AN Ill looking dog named Teaster, who
had been in the employ of Mr.. John Half
penny, respectable wooden factor at Bell's
Mills, Blair county, but had been discharged
by him some time siace. induced a young
daughter of the latter gentleman to leave
home with him, not many days ago, by
promising to get her good situation in a
woolen mill at Milroy. Miff1in county. The
absence Of the young lady was soon noticed.
the telegraph brought into requisition, and
ere long Mr. Il. had the satisfaction Of learn
ing that Teaster and his no doubt unsuspect-
ing dupe were brought up standing at Milf
fin. Mr.. H. went after his daughter, who
is scarcely fifteen years old, and she is again
under the parental roof. Teaster is now
looking through iron bars in Holidaysburg.
and Will probably find. che is done with
the matter, that stealing a Halfpenny of
that kind is rather an expensive luxury
The scoundrel is said to have wife living
