A PRETTY COSTLY JOKE.
How q Smart Alerk Conductor
Lost His Position.

There is a conductor $50 says Ben Blythe,
the popular X. 4 7. ticket puncher,) out
in Montana territory who is given to being
facetious, and he attempted to play prac-
teal joke on couple of passengers the
other day. They were bridal couple, and,
of course, proper objects of humor. They
had gone to sleep with their hands cIasped
lovingly, and the conductor borrowed a
pair Of handouts from a sheriff who hap
pened to be on the train, and slipping up
quietly behind the slumbering lovers he
clasped them around their wrists, and then
took a seat with the sheriff to enjoy the
fun. When the couple awoke they laugh
I'd merrily over the situation, and as the
train was approaching the station where
the passengers usually got dinner, the
groom asked that the handouts be taken
off In vain did the sheriff search through
his clothes for the key, and was finally
compelled to acknowledge tina: he had
either lost il, or left it at home on the
piano. The groom made disturbance.
and the result of il all was that the con-
ductor sa. all that afternoon trying to file
the bracelet off the lady's arm, and was
discharged from the service OF the COM
pany.

FERRIS FLED.
Seemingly Honest, J. Ferris Wins
Confidence and Then Skips
the Town.

About Christmas time there came to this
city large, handsome man, giving his
name as J. Ferris, and claiming to come
from Sacramento, California. After look
ing around little, Mr.. Ferris concluded
to 20 into the hog business. He did SO
and seemed flush with the cash.
He was also a very suave gentleman,
and impressed all with whom he had to do
that he was an honest man. Quietly he
pursued his business and was, apparently,
making money.
One day he made the acquaintance of
NJ. Brashear. who kept candy and cigar
store on Ohio street, just below Third.
Brashear sold out to one Maxwell, and con-
cluded to 60 in with Ferris The
partnership did not last long, as
Maxwell was unable to pay
for the goods, and Mr.. Brashear had to
take them back. Shortly after this Ferris
also quit the porker business and sug-
gested to his late partner that he, Ferris,
be allowed to take part of the goods over
to his house. north of the railroad, and
sell them, and for his trouble he would
charge three dollars day. As Mr.. Bras
hear was anxious to close out his stock, he
consented to this, having full confidence
in Ferris, and let him have sos worth of
goods.
Ferris succeeded in selling them,
but kept putting off settlement. The
first of last week his wife left the city, and
on Saturday he, too, concluded to seek an
other field for the "hog business" leaving
Mr.. Brashear minus sos, and no goods 10
show for it.
An appeal was made to the city marshal,
but il was after the bird had flown, and
too late to catch the embezzler. Ii is sup
posed Ferris went to Kansas City.

He was STOPPING over the stove, when a

A QUEER KID"
He Excites Strong Men, but Proves
an Honest Boy.

Saturday night there reached the city
on freight train over the X. & T. division
of the Missouri Pacific boy about twelve
years of age, giving his name as Iona
Hurkell. He stopped at the Leroy house
4 boarders He said he was from Short
Greek, Kansas, where his father had beer
recently killed in a lead mine, and that
as his mother was also dead and he had
no brothers or sisters, he was trying to
make his way to Nokomis, Illinois, where
his grandmother lived.
He showed up as bright, breezy chap,
and was perfectly conversant with
all the latest slang and gags. His smart
ness, pertness AMI repartee impressed the
boarders with the belief that his story was
''too thin" and that he was playing game;
that he was, in fact, an advance agent for
burglars, as this class of men frequently
use "kid" to spy out the land for them.
The BAzOO mems attention was called
the boy and he asked Iona to take a walk
yesterday afternoon. The invitation was
accepted and the twain went west on Sixth
street. As they were passing house on
that street young lady, talking to friend,
noticed that he boy was barefooted and
! in soto vice voice remarked the fact.
The reporter heard her and asked her if
she could give the boy pair of shoes.
Il think / cam" she said, and went into
the house to TASK mother" Soon the
mother and daughter appeared with a pair
of shoes The boy tried them on, but
they proved too small. Then the lady,
noticing that Lona's hat was full of holes
and evidently not bought for him, offered
to give him good one, but he strenuOusly
declined to take it.
The couple resumed their walk, and when
off from the house thesreporter asked Iona
why he would not take the hat the lady
was 50 kind as to offer him. Because this
was nv fathers hat, and I'm going to wear
it as long as can. Then took present
once, and folks laughed at me, and l don't
believe I'll take any more"
The reporter commended the little fellow
{ on his love for the memory of his dead
father and his sturdy independence.
Wouldn't you like to work on farm,
Lonaw
ayes, sir, if Icould get a good place,
though I'd rather get to my grandmother I"
Thus the two walked and talked until
other duties called the reporter away.
That the boy told a straight and honest
story, the interviewer felt no doubt, and
bidding the reporter "good- bye" this
morning, the little fellow left the city to
seek his relatives 80 +

arrest was referred to at length in the

ton yesterday and was bound over in the
sum of $500 TO await the action of the
grand jury.
The court room was crowded with inter-

but what he will, at the next term of court,

With wife No. 2 Dunn lived until Fri
day evening last, when the fact of his
double marriage became known to the
relatives of wife No. 1. Then things
waxed warm, and the follower of Brigham

situation. Friday evening he was taken
in custody by the sheriff and lodged in
Jail and couple of hours later it looked

He was vehemently denounced on every
hand as a miserable scoundrel, Tor whom
hanging was too good. Wiser counsel
prevailed. however, and Dunn escaped un-
harmed, although it looked for time as
though he would have to pay dearly for
his crime.
His examination was to have taken
place to-day, and interesting developments
were expected. Two brides inside of
