HERE'S A CHANCE
For Some Detective Work, Which
is Cheerfully Pointed Out to
Our Fly Cops.

About a month or six weeks ago there
were some counterfeit silver dollars dropped
around i'm few of the stores and saloons,
but the showers were, i'm some manner
frightened off, and there was but little OF
the queer put in circulation. Who the
provider was, no one found out, and no one
seemed to care very extensively. At any
rate there wee no arrests.
Atthe same time that the snide money
appeared, man who registered as J. K.
Reynolds, of Saline county, stopped at the
Pacific house. He pretended to be de-
tective, of course, and gave il out TO the
landlord that he was hunting for a couple
OF men who had stolen two horses from a
Mr.. Reid, living five miles from Marshall.
Reynolds didn't have any money, but he
said that Mr. Reid would be here the next
day and settle the bill He told plausi-
BILE story and backed up his statement by
a note written by Reid, which corroborated
everything.
The next morning, soon after breakfast,
REYNOLDS left the hotel, but soon returned
with dispatch from Reid, telling him TO
come at once to knObnoster. This tele-
gram was shown to Mr.. Rose, the pro-
prietor of the hotel, and he felt more
confident than ever that Reynolds was
giving him a straight story, and that he
had been honored bv sheltering genuine
detective.
The horse thief catcher at once left to
Join Mr.. Reid, and was gone a day or SO
when he again returned to this city. He
went to the hotel and said that
both horses had been recovered and that
Mr.. Reid had them in Lyons livery stable
lie had also secured one of the thieves and
had landed him i'm charge of Sheriff Con-
ner. Another night was spent in the Pa
cific and two more meals eaten. Again
REYNOLDS started off, but this time he kept
on going, or AT any rate he has not re-
turned to settle up his little BILL. On last
Saturday night he was seen i'm the city,
though not by Mr.. Rose nor by his clerk,
Mr.. Ruby. He may still be here, and il
would be well for one of our detectives to
get his description and seek for him. The
presence of this man at the time of the
distribution of the counterfeit money may
account for the latter.
1t is needless to add that the whole OF
Reynolds story was tissue of lies. No
note or telegram was received by him. No
horses were put in the livery stable by
Mr.. Reid" no such prisoner placed i'm
the JAIL Reynolds is snide detective.

Tom Kehoe's Experience With a

A man from the neighborhood of Flat

Kehoe, the junior partner, if they had any

NO." said the urbane Tom, "we have
not; but"
"Now, see here, can't tell Jardiniere

some of these stockings. She says she wants

"What is her size ~
"Well, she weighs hundred and ninety
eight pounds, twenty-seven inches round
