As soon as PinlSerton could possibly
get back, he planned mrttcrs so that
An ACCIDENT
should occur which would prevent the
necessity Of Tip Fawells going to Dallas,
but which should not interfere with
properly bagging this guardian of the
Dallas banks, who, doubtless, like Silas

Boiin's Bower by the generous Golden
Eastman, suddenly began to feel like
owning that from which his very sub.
sistence was derived
The lett which pleasantly arranged
all this is too voluminous for publication,
but the points necessary to the readers
understanding Of the matter are, that
Tip Farrell arrived in Chicago from
New York on December 5, and began
at, once making arrangements for lhe
trip to Dallas; that while in this laud BILE
undertaking he unfortunately attempted
to cross n crowded street and was
knocked down and run over Ivy
sleigh, suffering terrible bruises and
dislocatiQn Of his shoulder, and that he
had barely escaped being run in" by
the police; that, notwithstanding this
hard luck, as.he knew the Job should
be done at once, he had on that day,
December 4, sent on the two best 60
| pher mon in America, who were from
Buffalo, and who on arrival here would
register, the first, "W. J Smith st Joe,
Mo, at the st, Charles hotel; and the
second, &c Biddle, Baltimore, Nd" ut
the Lamar house Fictitious names and
correct descriptions of the parties being
also givenG and chat as he, Tip had
advanced all the money for the Job he
should depond on fair divide"
though he could not participate in
the fun of walking through the Dallas
banks Tip also arranged it in this let
ter that when Spicden met Smith he
should advance and remark Hello,
Smith how's business in ST. 10 p To
which Smith should respond; How
are you, Tom ? Business is about the
Same up at ST. Joe AS it ia down here in
Dallas !" and to make Spieden more
certain, # needs be, gave Smith letter
OF introduction to him and with oil |

bursters were sent on.
Tho arrival of the detectives in Dali

successful capture OF spieden and Duff
are too well known to be repeated.
