He Sells Two Played Out Horses
for 81, 100 on an Entirely New
Confidence Game.

Mckinney, Rodgers 4 Cutler, the we'll
known livery stable men, are to-day
mourning over the loss of about $500, by
what is, in all probability, the sharpest
confidence game ever operated in Kansas
City. The facts are these: Yesterday
morning an advertisement appeared in the
Times and Journal stating that a lady de-
sired to sell a pair OF fine horses-"Oranpe-
Boy" and Music" and giving the pedi-
gree of each 1t was stated that over
$4,000 had been paid Tor both in New
York, and that Orange Boy had trotted in
2:l5l, and Music had record of better
than $50. After reciting their fire points
at length it requested those whO desired to-
purchase to call at 1912 McGee street.
Among those who read the advertise
ment were the firm as above, and Mr..
Rodgers was sent TO investigate. He was
met BY pale, thin young man, who looked
as though the fell destroyer, consum ptiOn,
had laid hold of his vitals. He said his
name was Chamberlain, that he owned the
horses, and they were forthwith produced
very tipe looking animals. As Mr..
Rodgers examined them Chamberlain in
cidentallv remarked that he owned the
house, and his only reason for parting with
the team was the fact that he was dyi OF
consumption, and the only equines he
would probably need would be those at
tached 10 hearse Mr. Rodgers was so
pleased that he handed over a check
tor Sl,l00, the price asked, and
took possession Of the team.
In the evening he invited a party of
friends ont to McGee park to see his pur-
chase speeded, and with pride and Joy
placed them on the track. To his horror
they both crept around at FIVE minute
gait, and it was evident that that was their
best, andShe lost no time in rust ing around
to the residence Of the ,reacherons Cham
berlain. He was told that the object of his
search had only rented a room in the
house and had left Where he has gone
no man knOweth, and the chances are that
the victimized firm will have to grin and
bear it.-Kansas City Times

Il had some trouble with neighbor,

When I got TO Lincoln Office. / found
my opponent was already there, and had

story, aud Lincoln then said. You have
a good ease to go to court; buff you do,
you will both lose all your money. and

don't YOU settle TIE matter rights here?

A Generous Horse.

A pair of horses in an English stable,
whose box-stalls adjoined each other,
were firm friends. The one which fin
ished its hay first invariably received
from the other enough to keep it busy
until both lots were consumed. One day
one of the horses made its way out of
its own loose box, the door of which was
unfastened. and found out bucket of
mash which was standing in the en-
trance of the stable. and, taking the OPP
portunity while the coachman was in
the loft overhead, it was helping itself
freely to its tempting contents. The
other horse. which was fastened to its
own loose box, caught sight of its
friends proceedings, and neighed loud
ly. evidently demanding share for it
self: and the servant was astonished to
see the horse which was enjoying itself
fill its mouth with the mash, and poke
its nose through the bars of the loose
box for its friend to take it from its
mouth. This was done several times.

distasteful to the father who is widower
and the young lady was his only daughter.
The reasen that the father objected so
strongly to Montgomery's attentions was
that the young man was too fast, and he
denied him the paternal roof Things ran
along on the sly, the couple meeting each
other frequently, until atlast Montgomery
proposed marriage, was accepted, and a
plan of elopement was formed and carried
out. Miss Wilson started out last Monday
evening to visit lady friend, so her father

who, In company with her. started on the
evening train for Buffalo There they
were united in marriage and started on
Tuesday night for Denver, Col, and, as
Mr.. Wilson tells it, he started after them.
He got trace of them at Buffalo and fol
lowed them to Chicago in time to find
their names registered at the Leland hotel,
but also ascertained that they had left on
the ten o'clock train yesterday
for the west. In the meantime q
telegram had been received by Montgom-
cry from friend in his confidence, ''thst
the old man was after them" This caus-
ed him to stop at Moline.
The father says that it was only by
chance that he happened to get off the
train and ask the express driver about the
couple, but something occurred to him
that the flying pair might not go directly
west. He said that he made up his mind
not to have any scene. but to quietly ask
his daughter to return home with him.
Montgomery told him that he had made
up his mind to behave himself and go into
business, also that they were married.
The daughter refused to return with her
father without her husband, and Dir. Will
son said that he came to the conclusion
that he had better give in, and he did.
Having friends in Davenport he proposed
to go there and stay until Monday.
