the visitors came, but only for short time.
Soon continuous column OF men, women

filed the spacious hall to overlooking. To

hardly an cxaggeration. There was no limit

to mention in detail all the ingenious
means employed by those who were inter

ANOTHER VICTIM.

\ KENTuCRIAN WHOSE CURIOSITY 10 SIZE
THE ELEPHANT COST HIM TEN DOLLARS.
A gentleman named Frank Il. Evans. Of
Edyville, Lyon county, kentucky, was yes
terday taken in" by the five card cont
dence game and lost ten dollars thereby.
Mr.. Evans was yesterday standing in front
of the Planters house and was engaged in
conversation when one Leopold Marx, alias
Lee Myers stepped up to him and after a
few light remarks told him that there was
an immense elephant at the point; that the
elephant would not remain there long and
that he was bound for the point to see him
Mr.. Evans also being DESTROYS of seeing
the elephant accepted the company Of the
stranger and the two started for the point
Mr.. Jim Biggs having heard some of the
conversation and seeing the two walk of
together suspected that 4 confidence game
was brewing and at once put officer
Schuckers on the track The officer fol-
lowed them down town saw them look
here and there for the elephant, but none
was found At this time Mr. Marx, alias
Myers. who had now gained the
entire confidence Of Mr. Evans. drew
from his pocket fine cards and explained
how he had been cheated out Of a horse.
At this time one Henry Wells mot our
banker alias Dave Coleman, shrewd mu-
latto, stepped up and offered to bet Evans
s. that he could not pick ont one Of the
three cards displayed, Mr. Evans was very
sure he could, for he saw the private mark
on the card, but did not wish to bet. But
when the bet was raised to so, the offer
was too tempting he drew a ten dollar note
from his pockct;put itup and lost it. Officer
Schuckcrs who had unobservcd, been stead
lily stealing upon the trio, now appeared
upon the scene and arrested Marx alias My.
crs-- the mulatto escaping. He was taken
before Squire Comings who held him in
$500 bond 1t was in the afternoon that
Mr. Frank b. Evans, Of Eddyvillc, Lyon
County, Kcntucky--in other words-"tnc
man who wanted to sec the elephant"
boarded the Fisk tor Paducal, and on
board of her saw the escaped mulatto, He
ut once left the boat in search Of an officer
found Schuckcrs, and had him arrested He
was taken before Squire Comngs for trial
but denied all knowledge of the affair. He
had worked for II living, he said, ever since
60 and had never before s1cn the man who
was his accuscr. The evidence. however,
! concusiyey proved him to be the guilty
man and hence Squire Comlngs held
him as his partner, in 5000 bond.
