desired one Of the boys who assisted

did so, climbing by the thong, and We
lost sight of him. The cOnjurer called
to him three times, but, getting no
answer, he sHatched up knife. as If
in q great rage, laid hold of the thong
and disappeared in his turn. By.and-

came down himself, putting and blow

MISPLArEn CnNFInENCF

A stock dealer named Tom Johnson,
returning from the East with the pro-
ceeds Of q fine lot of cattle in his
breeches pocket, landed in this city
on Saturday morning and proceeded
to " do the town." While thus plea
sanity engaged, he came in contact
with a man OF pleasing exterior named
Brown (?), who by his genteel man
ners and insinuating address, soon
won the confidence of the unsuspect-
ing stock dealer, and the twain were
soon vending their way toward the
depot, engaged in pleasant converse.
Among the many topics Of interest
discussed by these new made friends,
was the state of The dry goods market;
and this reminded Brown that he
had bale Of dry goods at the depot
to leave on the early train thathad not
been paid FOR. 1t was too late to have
the checks cashed. and he must have
500 before the train started, or he
could not take the goods.
johnson sympathiZed with his
friend Brown, but couldn't see how
he could help him. Suddenly an idea
seized the latter gentleman. He had
Just returned from the West was
member of a mining company that
had located a splendid piece of land
in Montana, and had within a few
days struck fine vein of silver. The
bonds of the company were at a
premium. He had a small quantity
of the stock with him, and though he
hated to part with it, would sell his
friend johnson a thousand dollars
worth for 500, rather than have his
goods delayed. Would his friend like
to purchase? johnson, after some
little hesitation, accepted the generous
offer Of his friend Brown and counted
down 500 i'm greenbaeks, receiving
the mining stock in exchange.
Brown then started for the depot,
leaving johnson to examine his prize
at leisure-which he did-and was
struck all in heap to discover that
the certificate was worthless, and
that he had been made the victim Of
a sharper.
Officers MeCabe and McEwen now
seek to cultivate the acquaintance Of
the perfidious Brown.
We have used the name I" Tom
johnson as a matter of convenience,
but it is understood to be purely fic-
titious.-CollIn6U Statesman
