ARRIVAL OF EMIGRANTs..

ARRIVAL OF EMIGRANTs.J
A big train of emigrants arrived over
the Chicago, Milwaukee g. st. Paul road
yesterday. The way in which they were
handled shows to good advantage the
benefit OF the Union depot arrangement.
The Chicago, Milwaukee g. st. Paul train
drew up alongside one of the covered plat
forms, while on the opposite side OF the
platform, about twenty feet distant, was
the st. Paul o. Manitoba train In awaiting
for the emigrants. All they had to do
was to change from one train to the other,
and this they could do with but very lit
tie trouble by crossing the platform, all
the time being under cover
MORE swINDLING
The three-card monte men played it
fine on some of the emigrants that came
in On the Milwaukee g. st. Paul train,
and skinned some of them out of $3.50.
While they were engaged in the skinning,
one of the emigrants that had some
sense about him, went up to the
party the game was being played
on and cautioned him not to engage in
it when one of the three-card monte
men ordered the outsider to attend
to his own business, and to not interfere
with them, or he would put bullet
through him. The well intending gen.
tlemen who interfered Immediately re-
tired, and the game went on, the result
being that the emigrant gaZed for the
last time on $3.50 that he thought good
deal of.
