and Smoothly Steals Away.
Yesterday morning the gossip world Of
the Base Range was occupied with the
story that Charles s. Crandall, a young
man we'll known in Eureka, as we'll as in
other parts Of Nevada, had taken an un-
c~eremonious departure from our midst,
leaving behind him many inquiring
friends. Crandall, commonly known as
Charley" is young man Of good shape,
good clothes and first rate address. He is
a very efficient clerk and a clever man 81
business generally, and there is seemingly
no palliation or excuse. for the confidence
tricks which he is charged with having
practiced upon many unsuspocting people
on the Range. The story Of his cunning
ways here Will be %recounted; but his esca-
pade IN Eureka is not his first. 1t is
now brought up against him that while
journal clerk in the Assembly at Carson
IN 1877 he played Captain jerks to such
an extent that he left the Capital between
two days, while a host Of his unwary cred
itors we're in dreamland and blissfully un-
conscious OF the distance he was placing
between himself and their c~onstabulary.
There are certificates Of Indebtedness to
Charley's debit in Carson now that may
be had by the Spectator as cheap as Con-
federate bonds. Crandall repeated this
champagne Charley career in Eureka, set

you couldn't rest. He had q fine situation
here as supply agent Of the Eureka and
Colorado River Railroad Company (which
job he lost three weeks ago. and made con-

than he spent. He wouldn't give a cent

The last seen Of G. 8. G.. in Eureka was
down about the Eureka Consolidated fur
naces, where he was in company with
another young fellow, early Saturday
morning, about the time the bus was 60
ing down to the depot. He told an ac-
quaintance the night before that he had
lived beyond his means, and there was no
way for him TO extricate himself except by
hight-taking wings, rs it were. He
stated his liabilities in this friendly camp
to be upwards. Of 81 ZOO, while he put
down his assets as naught. With this ac-
quaintance, however, he left a souvenir in
the shape OF an old-fashioned one-dollar
gold piece, with a hole in it, which may be
exchanged at the Sub-Treasury for its
equivalent in coin weight. The news that
Charley had skipped" began to be circu-
lated first on Saturday afternoon. The
innocents he had slaughtered did not all
come out OF their shells and tell the story
OF their wrongs at once and in a body,
but came to the front one by one,
cautiously, and often with the injunction
HE did get in on me, but don't you say
anything about it," The principal sufferer
by Crandall's skip" is our worthy friend
Nathan, who keeps the jewelers. and pawn

was going to get married, you know, and
borrowed a 500 diamond ring to
dress with, promising to return it
in the morning. A locket and chain
to bedeck his bride with, for the
same ceremony, ditto. Cruel man to con-
template seriously another such a step, as
he has already a wife and three children
in the East. Nathan grieves for that ring,
because the pledger may come upon him
for it, and, taking advantage OF the situa-
ton, demand back any multiple of Its real
value. With q promise to come around in
the morning, 'as soon as the bank opened
and settle. he walked out Of Brown 4 Tas-

day afternoon, in a pair of
Sl4 boots. John Garrett, a prominent
livery man remembers him for cash, $40.
VIM. Wescoatt remembers him six bits
worth, and Walter Marsden has him
charged with a dollar. W. II. Levy OF the
Eureka Con. is out some, too. And thus
the story goes. There are memorandum
of from 50 so to $40 against the dear boy
that would fit him out for o first class
masquerade ball and entitle him to the
as an apt representation in miniature

Kank Knight for S20-a rare chance for
investing that much loose capital. Char
ley, the SENTINEL is ashamed OF you; it
bids you not adieu, but au didble.
