Fer JUMPING BOARD BILLS.
Two Men Arrested at the R0rk Island
& Peoria Depot for Swindiing
Boarding House in Davenport.

As the train was pulling out for Peoria
at S:45 this morning, Officer Cary arrests
ed two passengers and conducted them to
the Armory, where they were locked up
The arrest was made at the instance ot
information filed by A. d. Wiley. a
boarding house keeper of Davenport who
charges the prisoners, whose names are
given as j. II. Willard and Fred Willard.
with attempting to defraud him out of a
board bill by means of a bogus check
The particulars of the affair as related by
Mr.. Wiley are these; Two weeks ago
two young men giving their names as
stated above, stopped at Mr.. Willey's
boarding house in Davenport, accompa~
MED by n lady, who was said to be the
wife of ]. H. Willard, who also repre-,
scented himself as skatOrial artist, giving
as the reason of his visit to Davenport a
desire to arrange friendly contest with
Gamble, the accomplished skater of that
city. At the time Mr.. Willard paid the
landlord s. in advance, stating that when
that was exhausted he would pay more.
In few days telegraph dispatch
came to the skater to go to St Paul to
skate contest there, and the three de-
parted for that city, but they returned on
last Tuesday morning. Saturday the lady
determined to visit her uncle living near
Fairfield, Iowa, and she took her trunk
and started, leaving the impression that
she would return the first OF the week
Yesterday Mr. Wiley and his family went
to Muscatine on the steamer Josephine,
and while gone, ]. H. Willard drew
up a check for SO on Minneapo
lis bank, handed it to Mr.. Wiley's daugh-
ter as settlem ent in full for what was due
the house. and the two took their trunks
and skipped. Upon arriving home late
last evening the landlord was of course
surprised at the sudden and unexpected
departure of bis guests, and the suspicious
surroundings of the case led him to think
the check was bogus. He learned from
the expressman who conveyed the trunks
from the house that the two young men
had come to Rock Island; he therefore
placed the matter in the hands of the po-
lice here, which resulted in the arrest
this morning. This afternoon the pris>
oners were taken to Davenport to await
word from ST. Paul, in answer to inqui
ries made by wire as to the legality of the
check.

a Fraud

It appears that Joseph Trean who, has
been nursed ut St Luke's hospital for
three weeks and who professed to be a
swimmer of wonderful skill, is fraud
and Il swiudle. After being cared for
here. and nursed through painful season
resulting from the accident on the ferry
some time since, when his foot was
iammed and injured, he has gone uncere-
moniously. without even thanking those
who were kind to him. Sunday afternoon
he left 81. Luke's hospital by rear en-
trance, and has not been seen since He
is evidently scamp aud humbug, and
his ingratitude merits reproach if not
punishment. His yarn about swimming
from st, Paul to ST. Louis is probably q
lie invented to win sympathy
