They Took THE ''SUGAR."-A rather YER
dant specimen of Missouris sons arrived in
our city at one o'clock yesterday. Scarcely
had he set his foot on the levee before a
st. Charles street ghOul claimed him as his
meat" A close eye was kept on the
countryman, and when he appeared in front
Of the City Hotel, nice looking young man,
Mr.. Loose, volunteered information con-
corning subjects which interested the
stranger. Missouri, after registering his
name, asked the nice young man to show
him where a reliable sugar broker could be
found. as he had some business in that
sweet line. OF course the desired informa-
ton was readily given, and away the couple
started. Mr.. Loose conducted Missouri
into a we'll upholstered room on St. Charles
street. Drinks and cards were produced,
and our verdant was induced to take
hand III a quiet game of euchre.
the game was made pleasant, for the
young sugar brokers" are invariably
stylish, free and urbane. Several hands
had been played, when one OF the party
somehow discovered that ''he held a toler-
ably fair poker hand, and was willing to
risk a smart sum of money that he could
win One looked over MissOuri's cards,
and saw that he had three aces, and he was
suddenly urged to plank down cash on SO
good thing. Cash was planked down
until verdant had parted with nearly a
thousand dollars. Those genteel sugar
brokers' gathered it in. smiling softly at
such a fat pigeon. All his money gone, the
gentleman from up country had nothing to
do but to retire, utterly demoralized.
One of the sharps otft red to lend him fifty
dollars, but the offer was spurned. for. then
he felt too high-toned to take back any
thing. Proceeding into the street, his con-
fused mind began to arrange the sad facts
when he concluded that he had been victim
lied. He sought consolation from the police.
telling his doleful tale as if it were entirely
new. Mr.. Loose was sent for. found and in
.erviewed at police headquarters. There be
was met by Missouri. when the sore subject
was talked over calmly and in devout
spirit. Missouri agreed to cry quits if GER
IAN amount of his loss was returned. and it
was agreed to " return.
