Some ugly rumors are in circulation con-
corning Edward Spoonholtz, OF this city,
which, if confirmed, will likely cause his
enforced absence from our midst for some
time to come. 1t appears, from the ru-
-mors, that some time ago spoonholtz in
duced his wife to purchase some prop
erty on Second street, in the Third ward.
Soon after this purchase SpoonholtZ began
negotiating with several gentlemen for the
sale of one or more OF these lots without
however, the knowledge of his wife, He
finally succeeded in inducing Joseph kir-
her to purchase one for $500, it is alleged,
for which $50 was paid as an earnest. Next
Nat Sanders bought one for 500, and paid
$50 as a ''clincher" About this time sus'
picions began to be aroused that Spoonholtz
was not "toting fair, and inquiries devei-
oped the fact that the alleged sales were IL
legal. Kirber and Sanders at once began
to stir up Spoonholtz, and the former, 1t is
said. recovered $50 back of the $50, but the
latter got nothing. Both men then placed
the matter in the hands of an attorney, and
it was determined to proceed against him
criminally. Spoonholtz, however, is not In
the city, and it is not known where he is.
There are some other very damaging state
ments current in regard to Spoonholtzs
former life, which, however, We will omit
for the present. II is also alleged now that
he also attempted to sell these lots to others,
but was not so successful! as in the cases
cited.
