How an Iowa Goose was Plucked In
Chicago
C1nter-Ocean, July 10.1


One Of the sorriest-looking~ specimens
Of humanity who ever touched the sym.
pathetic cord in the breast of each spec
tatcr was Mr.. Fred Rodhman, wool.
buyer Of Iowa City. when he entered the
central station last evening and said he
had been robbed Of $l,875 just across
Clark Street, near the site of the new
Custom House. Mr.. Rodhman was SO
overwhelmed with grief that for some
time it was impossible to elicit anything
regarding the robbery which he init.
mated had been committed upon him.
Finally Detective Simmons succeeded in
having him relate the following facts {:
He had arrived in the city at o'clock in
the morning, with $l.875 in his pocket,
in four packages-three Of $500 each and
one Of $3.50. He attended to portion
of his business and then ate bis dinner.
After finishing his repast he went on the
North Side, where he met number of his
German friends with whom he drank
considerable beer, and, consequently he
became incapscitated for business. He
finally became tired of the North side and
went to the South Side to see the sights.
In his meanderings he came across =
young man who asked him to take .
drink. Being out for a lark he made no
objections, and the drink was taken. A
few drinks sufficed to bring on desire for
more enjoyment than could be found in .
common South Clark street beer cellar,
and visit to Madame Richards, No. 429
South Clark, was suggested and agreed
upon. While IN the house Rodhman
placed his pocketbook on the bureau
while he took a snooze. He awoke re-.
freshed and took his departure, when he
discovered that the $3.50 package had
been taken from the book. He went back
and they kicked him out. On the street
he met lawyer f?) who offered to get his
money for ! consideration of $25. It
was accepted, and the two started north
on Clark street. When opposite the Pa
cific Hotel, as stated. they were met by
two men who asked which Of the two was
Rodhman. That gentleman spoke, when
they pronounced him their prisoner on
charge Of passing counterfeit money, oh.
serving, as one of them put his hand into
MIR. Rohdman's pocket and pulled out
his wallet, ''and here is the evidence
against him. They took him to the
south entrance to Kentucky Block, and
left him in charge Of his lawyer until
they went up stairs. In few minutes
the lawyer let him follow the pair up
stairs, and then disappeared himself. OF
course no one was found on the upper
floor, his robbers having gone out another
exit.
As above stated Mr.. Rodhman reported
the facts at the station. Men were de-
tailed to accompany him to 429 Clark
where he recognized the woman Richard.
IS the party in the room with him at tn.
time Of the robbery. She and three in
mates were taken to the Armory anc
booked for larceny. No money wa.
found on the'r persons 8 Z

Horrible Sulcldo--Whisky Insanity

1A0fT1o10 8usck00-~Whtoky 1NSa0ttY
The New York Herald relates the fol-
lowing horrible incident: "A most ghast-
" sig ht was presented yesterday after
noon in the squalid ten ment house, No.
$50 Third street. Frederick Alderman.
living at the above place, committed sui.
eide by shooting himself with a musket.
About O'Clock the people Of the neigh
borhood were startled by the report Of a
gun coming from small room in the
rear house, and on going to ascertain the
cause, found Ackcrman's body reclining
against the door leading to an adjoining
room. The head was entirely gone. and
brains, pieces Of bone, and Acsh lay scat.
tered all over the apartment. The un.
fortunate man had taken an old army
musket, loaded it with q quadruple
charge Of powder and two leaden bullets,
placed the ,muzzle in his mouth, and with
his toes pulled the trigger. He was sit.
ting at the time on pillow and was
leaning against the door above alluded
to. Nothing whatever was left
Of his head save portion
Of the lower jaw. Part of the skull was
driven entirely through the door, the nose
and the upper lip were found on the bed
at distance of six or eight feet from the
body, and handful of brains lay on the
floor beside the BODY in as perfect state
az though they had been taken out by
the most skillful surgeon. Portions Of
the skull and scalp were found in every
part Of the room, and an ear hung sus-
pended from nail in the wall over the
bed. The charge with which the gun
had been loaded was SO great that the
stock was broken off and the hammer re-
cooked by the explosion. The right hand
was also terribly lacerated by the action
of the pusket in recoiling. Alderman
has been hard drinker for the last three
years, and has several times had the de-
lirium tremens. 1t is supposed that he
committed self destruction while laboring
under one Of these attacks. He leaves q
wife and four children, the eldest II and
the youngest three years Of age.

still in camp near Harney Peak, and

geologist is working up the rocks, and the
topographer is making survey Of the
country. There are several streams to
the north of US. which are said to give
better prospects than the enc we are on,
although this one shows color all along
its course. but the gold is very light and
|scaly. The fall and volume of water
here is. a great drawback, there
being not enough Of either. 1t

nearly all day., but so gently that the
ground takes it all up, and then let's it
