w. H. Coleman, of California, Mo-, came
to the city Yesterday to visit the fair and
make some miscellaneous purchases. He
brought with him 500 in his wallet-fCur
500 bills, two $50 and ten $40 bills, all in
greenbacks. As he was about to leave fer
home last night about $50 o'clock by a
Missouri Pacific train he was robbed of all
the bills described except one $40 biz,
which he had broken. His story to the pc
lice at the Union depot was to the effect
that he went into an art store on Pine
street tospurchase picture. He observed
number of young men and other peopl,
standing around the store, but suspected
nothing. In paying for his purchase he
showed his money, as a matter of necessity,
in the store. He left for the Union depot

thought nothing of it. AS he stepped

20 to % years OF age, wearing black DERBY
hats and black clothes, went through hi:

crowd, into which he was tightly wedged.
Before he had ascertained that he had been
relieved of his money the robbers had
made their escape He is satisfied that he
was observed by them when he exhibited
his money at Ashley's, and that they are
the same parties who followed him to the
train.

Dear Sir:
write to you for information in re.

McConnelly, who | understand was
convicted for the burning of his store
In Sedalia, and afterwards made his es-
cape. / also learned that there was a
reward offered for him. If this is so,
please let me know the amount offer
ed and who it is offered by. By so
doing you will do me favor.
Yours truly,
T. n. HOWELL.
The party probably referred to by
Mr.. Howell is Chas. McCreary, whe
formerly resided in Sedalia. He went
from here to Hannibal, Mo-, where
he was detected In firing his drug
store. By some hocus pocus he got
clear of the charge-but not by
breaking Jail - and went to Or
egon, where he was convicted
of grand larceny and served a
term in the penitentiary at Salem,
Oregon, but has served his time and
is now out and possibly at Los Ange-
los.
Let him stay there, Mr.. Howell.
There is no reward offered in this
tate for him and he is not wanted In
Missouri, either to answer for crime or
|nything else.
Charlie is not bad fellow. Ex-
lravagance and bad associates has led
lin to lead crooked life.

GONE FOREVER.
The Good Old Days Before the
johnson Gambling Law.

There is an impression ahrosd in
the land that the johnson gambling
Law is not enforced" remarked an
old-tine gambler to BAzoo reporter
yesterday at is the veriest non
sense, and it is a wonder TO Re taat
men who pretend to be posted would
have the gall to ask that candidates
for the legislature oppose the repeal
of the law. Why, sir, there isn't a
law Oh the books that is enforced as
well as the johnson law, or single
section of the statutes that is as little
liable to be repealed"
Gambling in Sedalia isn't like it
used to be, is it"
Lord, no; there isn't any here
now, if we except little game Of
"draw" once in awhile"
Before the johnson law" contin-
ued the old man, "we had good
times we had two fourishing faro
banks that were open day and
night. The railroad boys could
come into King and Marvin's place
on Main street, or 60 to Free Lon
don's house, Ohio street, every night,
win their little S25 or $50 and go
home happy" NO" with a sigh,
SIT amt like it used to be. The boys
all had money those days. Now days
if a man has dollar he's got a strong
string tied to it. !"
''The high rollers Of the west
used to come to Sedalia regularly,
and play the limit. l remember once
when Claud and Singleton Cave, Jno.
Reid, Charlie White, Jew Harry,
Slippery Sims, Fred. Order, and a
number of noted gamblers were in
town at the same time. You bet
there was high playing"
1--WE heard it said" remarked the
reporter, "that faro bank was still
dealt here and at Kansas City"
at is lie. No man with grain |
of common sense would take the
chances of losing his money, and at
the same time 60 to the penHentlary.
1 believe there is but one faro bank
running in the whole state of MissOu-
ri, and that is at Louisiana, in Pike |
county, where they have the officers
fixed"
CAT Kansas City they run games
down in the bottom, or rather In
Kansas City, Kansas; but none On the
Missouri side. Why sir, when we
Sedalians want to win a few dollars
to pay board with, we have to go to
Chicago, Texas or Kansas. Its a
great shame"
"Then there is no faro bank, rou-
lette or hazard games in Sedalia."
''No sir; there hasen't been card
pulled out of box here within three
years.
