THE latest dodge, and one of the sharp
est sort, has been attempted upon several
sporting men of Cincinnati recently, and
successfully in one instance. Here is how
it was done: Eph. Holland and friend
were rolling ten pins at the Empire, on
Fifth street, when note came to Eph.,
asking him to call at the Grand Hotel to
see particular friend 1t was written on
Grand Hotel letter-head." He walked
down to the hotel, but found nobody there
that he particularly cared to see. While
he was gone note came to doc" Mar
tin, at the Empire, written on a Grand
Hotel letter sheet, signed Eph., and ask
ing the doctor to send him 800 by the
bearer, young man of respectable ap-
pearance. The doctor, knowing that
Eph had gone to the hotel, and suppOsing
he had met some friend and wanted to
use that much money, promptly inclosed
| 800 in an envelope and sent it by bear
er." When Eph. returned the doctor
merely asked him if he had received that
money all right. Then the little game
was discovered.
THE Bonneville (Mo.) Eagle says: Mr.
W. L. Scott, of this city, who was one Of
the earliest settlers of this section of coun.
try, and a perfectly reliable man, has
| given us the following for publication: In
July, 1919, the second steamboat that ever
passed up the Missouri River struck a
snag at the head of Hardeman's Island, be.
tween BOonville and Arrow Rock, and
Immediately sunk. The boat was loaded
principally with Government stores. II
had in the hold large quantity of Mo.
nongahela whisky and also 5000, 900 in sill.
yer coin, which was being taken to Coun.
Gil Bluffs to pay the Government troops
stationed at that place, which was ther
the extreme outpost of civilization. Mr.
Scott, though a small boy at the time
lived very near the scene of the accident
and remembers we'll what was related by
the officers of the boat at the time, and
also by the agents of the Government
who came some time after, looking after
the lost treasure. When the Government
agents arrived the river had swollen tC
such an extent that no vestige of the boat
was to be seen, and they reported to the
Government that it was impossible to re
cover the money or any portion of the
cargo. Fifty-six years have passed away
yet Mr.. Scott says he can now point out
the exact place where the unfortunate
steamer lies buried with its valuable car
go. He is probably the only man living
who can do so, and he is well advanced in
years. The Government can yet reclaim
the money if it will make the effort; or, i
a release can be given by the Government
