a LUCKY MAN.

A man who gave his name as Charles
Sinclair, residence Council Bluffs, Iowa,
came through Rock Island to-day on his way
to New York to embark for Europe where he
has fortune of $2,000,000 awaiting him.
In a talk with an ARGUS reporter he stated
the circumstances were about as follows:
The gentleman who bequeathes the fortune
to Sinclair is almost stranger and the
only claim the recipient of the fortune had
was an act of kindness years ago, which
had been forgotten until the news was re
ceived of his good fortune It appears
that Sinclair and his benefactor were made
acquainted on the steamer Baltic, is wears
ago, both being passengers at the time.
Mr.. Carlyle, the name of Sinclair's friend,
was stranger on his way to America to
make his fortune. He had been at one
time thriving merchant in London, but
had met with reverses, and was on his way
to this country to build up his fallen for
tunes, Sinclair cared for him during the

passage and on arrival 81 New York, took
him to his hotel and had him properly
nursed until he was fully recovered.
Shortly after this the two separated, and
neither heard of or saw the other again.
In the meantime Carlyle had been
meeting with variable success. and
at last went to Colorado and
in 1875 struck a lucky lead and made
a handsome fortune From this time he
was uniformly successful, and having ac-
quired a competency, concluded to return
to his native country to pass the remain
der of his days in ease. This he did in
1878, and he remained there until Deecm-
Der 1880, when he died. In his will he do
mates $2,000,oo0, his entire fortune, to
Sinclair whom he described as his beloved
friend and benefactor. He was an old
bachelor, and so far as known had no liv-
ing relatives, so that the usual contest is
not likely to occur. After his death in
quiry was made for Sinclairs whereabouts.
which was not discovered until about q
month ago, and he at once made prepare
ton to claim his fortune. Mr.. Sinclair is
a gentleman probably 45 years of age, and
very intelligent. Like. his friend he is a
bachelor. and the council Bluffs girls will
no doubt have a contest now for the OPP
portunity to preside at his domestic table
Truly, the freaks of fortunes wheel are
strange.

RuRaLARIOUs VISITS.

Two weeks ago burglars raided Galva
and made good haul from at least three
residences. No clue was obtained as to
who they were, and the people were begin
ming to feel safer, when another raid was
made, few nights since and it was quite
as successful as the first.
The store of w. r. Soper was entered
ana a lot of cutlery, reyolvers, etc, stolen
The thieves cut out pane of glass in the
rear door and effected an entrance easily
Value of goods, probably 800.
J r. Eckstrom's was entered the same
night, but the thieves were satisfied to clean
out the pantry, which they did most effec
lively, leaving dishes and eatables scatter
ed over the floor. Two empty whisley
bottles were left behind as q souvenir to
Mr. Eckstrom of their visit.
Three other residences were raided two
nights later and now the people are begin
ming to get mad. The opinion prevails
that the burglars live not great distance
from Galva, and measures are on foot to
ferret them out.

Ladies Painting ct the Sight Of Human Be-
ing Shot From o Cannon.

At recent exhibition of Forepaugh's
Great Circus, and while Monsieur Loyal,
the French gynnast, was performing his
sensational act of permitting himself to
be shot from cannon, many of the audi
ence withdrew, being unwilling to witness
the dangerous scene. A frail looking wo-
man in the audience, taking fright at what
seemed to her the serious turn things had
taken, first turned scarlet in the face, then
pale as death, and, in an agonizing tone.
implored an old gentleman next her for
PHYS sake not to allow him to be fired of
and killed Her grief and despair were
pitiful to behold, and when Loyaps head
and shoulders sank out of sight in the
great gun. she sank down in a hysterical
fit. laughing and crying by turns. The
report, however, brought her to with .
scream, and looking up she saw Loyal, moi
blown to pieces like Sepoy, but alive
and kicking, held by the hands OF Zuila,
who was on the trapeze. A sigh of relief
came from her lips. but even when she got
among the wild beasts again. she appar-
emily had not fully recovered

ANOTHER VICTIM.

About six months ago a man calling
himself John Sylvester, and claiming to be
rusticating for his hehlth, and to be well
fixed financially, succeeded in getting into
the good graces of one of our rural bellies
and proposed marriage. The offer was
not at first accepted, but was finally given
favorable consideration, and the day ar
ranged for the celebrating of the marriage.
This was to have occurred about ten days
ago. Two days before the appointed time
the prospective groom started for Rock Is
land to get license telling the confiding
girl he was soon to marry that he would
return the next morning. He then went
to the father of the girl and under the pre-
tense of desiring TO make some purchases,
borrowed $3.50 in cash, leaving govern
ment bond with the old gentleman, remark
ing at the time, you can take this as
may lose it." The next day came and the
next and the missing Sylvester did
not arrive, and becoming anxious the IA
Their OF the girl came to this city to hunt
up his prospective son-in-law. He did
not go to the police headquarters, desiring
to keep the matter very quiet, so inquir
ed through friends at the hotels, but no
news of the fellow who had borrowed the
$3.50 was obtained Then he began to
smell mice" and shortly after discov-
cred that the socalled bond was a forgery
and the fellow who had LETT it he naturally
concluded was a rascal. He kept his sto-
ry to himself, pocketed his loss, and went
home a sadder and wiser man. The news
of Sylvester's perfidy was severe blow to
the confiding girl who had set her hopes
on being his wife, and it was some days
before she became reconciled. Had it not
been for her earnest entreaties the father
would have pursued the villain and en-
deavored to effect his capture, but she
begged so hard on account of the publ
city it would give, that the old gentleman
desisted, and kept quiet about the affair
The points given above leaked out, how
ever, despite the precautien of the parties
concerned to keep the affair a secret.
