A Put Up Job.

NEWBURG, n. Y, June 13.-Last night Dr.
Montreville NJ. Hedges, dental surgeon and
sporting man, was arrested here on bench
warrant issued by the Justice of the Su-
preme Court, the complainant being Francis
p. Weed, of this city He charges Hedges
and William NJ. Scott, the latter now dying
of consumption in California, with cheating
at games and conspiracy to defraud. 1t is
stated the three played game of poker in
this city in June of last year, each betting
100000 on single hand and Weed and
Hedges lost. Weed now charges the hands
were put up by Hedges and Scott. they to
divide the winnings. Weed had recently
received from the estate of his deceased
father fortune estimated at about $500. 000
OF the amount lost it is stated Weed paid
defendants during the year over 100000
having compromised for $4,000, and that
S15, 600 is yet due on an unpaid note. This
Weed now desires to avoid paying, and has
begun an attachment and proceedings against
Hedges and Scott TO recover as much as pos.
slole of what they have already received. A
