DAUGHERTY DONE.
By a "Tr.clk That Was Vain" a Confident
Granger is Sweetly Swindled.

By a "Tr.ck That Was Vain" Confident
Granger is Sweetly Swindied.
The fool-killer must be defunct. At least,
the crop of men susceptible of being duped
by the most transparent and widely known
frauds is not yet extinct. Such would seem
to be proved by an incident which occurred
in this city yesterday.
About o'clock yesterday morning, the
Charlie CAeever landed the passengers CT the
Alexander MITCHELL among whom was one
N. 4. Daugherty, an elderly farmer from
Gibson county, Ind, who was accompanied
by his wife, and young man from their
vicinity The party was OH its way 10 Howard
Lake, Wright county, to visit the son of the
old gentleman, Col. G. Daugherty. Hardly
had Mr.. Daugherty attained the St. Paul 4
Pacific railroad depot than he was accosted
by name by an entire stranger, who struck
up an acquaintance with the gentleman from
Indiana in the shortest possible time. The
stral ger said he was from Howard Lake
where he kept store, and knew the colonel,
the son of the granger. He. the stranger,
was also on his way to Howard Lake, and his
family, then i'll the city, would accompan Y
him, and they all should journey together.
With the view of bringing the family down
to the depot, Daugherty accompanied the
affable one up Sibley street to Third,
where friend of Daughertys new-found
friend encountered them. Here the last
named, whom for convenience sake shall be
named No. l, was told by stranger No. 9
that he, No. l, must come up and settle his
dill, about which high old quarrel ensued.
The upshot was that Daugherty loaned No. L
1915, and received as surety United States
bond of the denomination of $1,000, and
then No. promised to meet Daugherty at
the depot.
1t was the thrice-re2eated tale. No. 1
never appeared, neither did No. 2. The
"bond'' proved to be worthless piecs of
unsigned paper, printed by the bogus
United States Silver Mining company in
handsome and deceptive style. Never was
the confidence game" more finely played;
never was dupe more neatly swindled. What
is most extraordinary is that Daugherty is
reputed to be one of those constantly ready
with advice as to the care of money while
travelling and the necessity there is of Icing
on ones guard to avoid ''sharks.'' Such,
indeed, was his care that, before landing, he
put away more securely the major portion of
his money, reserving more loosely the sum of
$l2, and by that caution he hoped to escape
all possibility of theft. Mr.. and Mrs.
Daugherty left for Howard Lake, to which
point through tickets had been purchased.
The police were Informed of the facts, but
the clue is SO slim and the description of the
scamps is so attenuated that it will be next
to impossible to detect and arrest them,
Capt. Clark and Detective Bresett secured
the city all yesterday for them, but without
success SO far.

Workingmen.
MILWAUKEE, Aug. 13--At the conference this
afternoon between the committee appointed
by the blacksmith and machine union and
manager Merrill, of the Milwaukee st. Paul
railway, the latter presented written state
| ment in substance that the company would
reopen their shops tomorrow. and take back
| those who wished to return at the wages paid
them at the time they quit work ON Saturday
provided the union would withdraw its protest.
The committee reported to the union that Mr..
Merrill had assured them that no further re-
duction would be made. The protest was then
withdrawn. Thus the matter ls amicabiy set
tied, and the men will all return to work to-
morrow.
| MODERATE LABOR DEMONSTRATIONS.
| WASHINGTON, Aug. l3.-Ihe first of a series
of mass meetings under the auspices of the
Workingmen's assembly, was held here last
night The speakers were moderate in tone.
and appealed to their auditors to abandon ir-
responsible leaders and enter into systematic
and well devised plan for their own protection.
They SAID many attempts had been made to IN
doctrlnate ideas in the heads of true mechanics
by strollers, which, if carried out, would do no
good. Thetklid not prospose to array one class
OF laborers against another, nor to array labor
against capital. Incendiary speeches would
not benefit workingmen. There must be a
combination between all trades of the country,
and unity OF action, if they wished to force
all those who are disposed to pauperize labor to
accede to their demands.
