A STRANGE DISAPPEARANCE.

Some weeks ago gentleman registered a
the fremont as Harry Shimbery, of Syra
cuse, n. Y. He came here as he claimed FOL
his health, and at the same time was selling
spectacles. lie was q consump,ive, and u,
times became very despondent-
On the morning of the 9th inst. he left the
hotel as he claimed for a walk. He was &C
customed to be absent for several hours at q
time and on returning had several times re-
marked that he had had q
very pleasant ramble along the river
bank. He never returned after his depart
ure on the aforementioned time. All effort;
of Mr.. Kim, the proprietor of the fremont
to find some trace of him have proved futil,
and the suspicion is fast becoming TO be be.
lieved for fact that be is now in the bottom
of the river.
He was accustomed TO allow his board bill
to remain unpaid for two and three week!
until reminded of it and would then
rustic around for day and sell enough tc
pay up. When be disappeared he was il
arrears with his board. Some of those who
became mos; acquainted him say be was &C
customed to tamper with the beer bottle
more than is advisable and that he had beer
drinking some about the time nc dissp
peared. His apparatus and goods remain
at the fremont

GREENLEsF'S LUCK.

One of the luc.>icst mcn who ever struck

island ua the big river that We. never pre-
empted or hemes:esd-d. Hs fled on i.

about the measurement ard he got The

it contains tifty-ioUr acres. II is now only
about half mile above the corporation

DISCRIMINATION.

Almost daily the reporters of this paper
receive reports of discrimination against
this city by the Santa Fe TOAD, and again
the gentlemsnly officials of that road deny
the allegations. Here is another touching
the wholesale interests Of this city, which, if
true-and the report comes from reliable
parties-is shameful case of discrimina-
ton and b ,se treatment of this city, and in
this case, if our Informant is correct, the
Frisco is as deep in the mire as the Santa Fe.
What is charged ia that the Santa Fe deliv-
ers goods shipped from Kansas City to
points on their line 100 miles west of here
for less than they do goods shipped from
here, and that the Frisco does tho same
thing for st. Louis. This is blow Mt cur
wholesale trade ard if it is the case, which.
Of course we don't know, i. ought to be a
matter for the board of railroad commits
sioners to look after. Now the writer
would be glad if this is not SO and would be
glad to have the officials Of these roads deny

THEY PLAY TO WIN

Quite an interesting game Of pool was
played q. No. 226 East Douglas avenue yes
terday morning. A fellow named Burt,
from Chicago, who is claimed to be pro-
feesionAl in the business, showed up against
our little townsman, Willie Clark. The
money was $50 for the six games out Of
eleven. The first three were won by Clark,
the fourth by Burt and next three BY
Clark. This gave the latter the money. and
it is reported that some more games will be
played soon between the same two.
On the previous night the two played one
game for stake Of S45, which was won by
Burt This defeat had a tendency TO make
Clsrk's hackers anxious TO put him up on a
larger sum, which was finally accepted.

WAS IT a DIVORCE OR MONEY,

A few days ago gentleman came rush.
ing into the Office of q law firm and told
quite an interesting story. BE said he had
found q lady on the street crying who said
she had 10 money and had been deserted in
this city by her husband. He completed bis
story BY saying that her husband was rich
and that the lady would sue for q divorce
and asked if the firm would undertake the
suit. On being informed that they would
investigate the matter he left the Office and
returned again in few hours accompanied
by the woman. She gave her name as Mre.
]. d. Gardner. and stated that she
came here accompanied by her husband
who was to sell patent for new sort Of
washing machine and that he had left her
here without money. She presented deed
for some property that she claimed was in
this county, but an examination proved that
nothing Of the sort was on record. She also
stated that her husband had property in
Texas and Alabama, giving the counties.
Letters were also written to those places and
answers received yesterday which stated
that she was also mistaken in that matter.
She had been staying at one Of the hotels
in the city for some days until last Monday
evening when she left as she said for
Arkansas City, where she had succeeded in
getting position. If all reports be true,
her conduct while here was not of such q
character to place her entirely above sus-
picion.
The little divorce scheme that she pro-
posed. on its face, very much resembles a
plan for securing some money on the
strength Of the bogus deeds and those re-
ported to be in her possessession.
If such WAS the case, and the evidence
goes to prove no other tupposition, the plan
was one of the most puerile ever yet put
on the market. Certainly it was the first at
tempt in that line.

DONE UP IN FINE STYLE.

The City hotel was done up in fine style
by robbers last Monday night. All the
rooms but three or four were critically ex-
amined by the night agents, and in most
cases they became mashed on something
sufficiently to carry it away for more crit
ical examination.
Two gold watches were taken from two
gentlemen who, it is claimed, are here in the
interest of the Kansas City Times. Mr.. NJ.
A. Myers was relieved of $40 and
was the first to discover what had
happened yesterday morning. Several
others report having lost smaller money
and little valuables. They entertained
themselves awhile by visiting one Of the
proprietor's rooms. Mr.. Knoblauch.
The rooms they were not successful in
securing an entrance 70 were bolted on the
inside as well as locked. Those that were
merely locked were entered as it seems very
successfully.
The deed was evidently done after mid
night as the clerk goes to bed at tha: time
