LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

Hayes, alias Limerick, and Thomas Rogers,
who were arrested for taking in a man last
Sunday under confidence game. were dis
posed of yesterday in the Police Court. They
appeared under charge of embezzlement. 1t
developed from the evidence that the man
whom they operated upon only had about so
cents in money and an old silver watch.
They represented to their victim that they
were thrashing machine men from near Win
ters, showed the man thrasher that hap
pened to be standing at the depot, which they
claimed they were going to take to Winters
next morning also pointed out horses in a
livery stable which they represented that
they owned. and wanted TO hire this man to
go to Winters and work for them. He bit
readily at the bait offered, and hired HIM
self out to them," or rather sold himself cut
to them. They accidentally noticed, after
they had hired him, that their pocket money
had run short, not having brought much with
them, as they were to draw from the bank
here on Monday" This was the layout
which secured the gullibility of their subject,
and he was then requested to loan them funds
until banking hours next morning. It proved
that they had a poorer subject than supposed,
but such as he had-S0 cents and an old sill
yer watch-he presented for the relief of bis
employers" The small amount of coin OBJ
tained was set down as net profits by the
thrashers, and the watch was put up
at Donovan's, corner of Third and L streets,
for 81 and nights lodging for Rogers. Upon
conclusion of the hearing Hayes was fined
S160, which of course he could not pay. and
was thereupon sent TO the County Jail for
100 days. Rogers then pleaded guilty, and
being less veteran in the confidence gametha
his partner, was let off with fine of $50, in
default of paying which he was sent to the
County Jail with Hayes for go days.
SUDDEN DEATH.-Sarah L. Taylor, who
resided on the alley between Sixth and Sew
enth, G and H streets, died yesterday very
suddenly at her residence. Some OF her
neighbors upon going to her house found her
apparently in diving condition, and sent for
a physician, but she died before his arrival.
The cause of death is not known. Day be-
fore yesterday she called at Coroner Vermil-
ya's office and asked for Mr.. Vermilya, but
being told by Mr.. Montgomery that he was
not in, she asked for some morphine. Mr..
Montgomery told her that the Coroner kept
none, and that she should apply at drug
store. She replied that she had, and they
would not let her have any. She then asked
for some money TO buy morphine, but was re-
fused. as it was thought her purpose might be
suicide. She seemed much agitated, and said
she was in pain that she had heart disease
and was used TO taking morphine as med
icine. She then went away, and the next
heard OF her at the Coroner's Office was the
notice of her death. A post mortem exam
ination and inquest will be held o-day, and
more particulars will probably be made
known.
