SOMEWHAT EXAGGERATED.
A Dude Saloonkeepers' Departure
Creates Some Talk

The disappearance of "Pretty Jack"
Foster, who has for few months been
proprietor of the bar and garden run in
connection with the Columbia pool
room, has occasioned considerable talk
among frequenters of the ce.Saturday
Foster made an assignment in which
the assests were scheduled at about
$500 and the liabilities at $1,000. Since
then it has been rumored that he bor-
rOwed money to the tune of several
thousand dollars and had skipped. 1t
is doubtful, however, that he could
press the limit of his credit to
that extent, and it is prob
able that he left town only
a few hundred dollars ahead. He spent
money about as fast as he could get hold
of it, and his departure will probably
not seriously affect financial circles.
He made his advent as a hash-slinger at

NOBODY HURT.
Embezzlement and Forgery With.
out a Club In 1t.

H
out Il Club In 1t.
A remarkable case involving embez-
element and forgery by which nobody
had become the loser to the extent of a
cent came up before Judge Bailey in the
municipal court yesterday. Abraham
l.. Jones is well known money loaner
and dealer in various securities.
Some time ago he took into part
nership Eben B. West. Abraham
and Eben have had falling out which
will probably lead to the dissolution of
the partnership. Mr.. Jones acts as the
financial agent of his wife, Carrie E.
Jones. Recently he received draft
payable to her order for $780,. 20. 1t was
a hot afternoon and Mr.. Jones remarked
that he hated to go out of doors to get it
cashed. Give me the draft. and I'll
90 to the bank with it," said Mr.. West.
1t was probably owing to his disinclina-
tion to go out in the hot sun to his house
and get his wife's signature, which led
Mr.. Jones to write cher name in indorSe-
ment on the back of the draft, but he
did it, at all events, and Mr.. West gave
him in return his check. Mr.. West
went to the bank and deposited
the draft to the credit of G. w. West.
Wnen MI. Jones went to get the check
caShed he was told that Mr.. West had
no funds to his credit there and that it
was worthless. In order to prevent
West from getting the money on the
draft Mr.. Jones notified the bank
not to pay it, as the indorse-
ment had been forged. This he
did to gain time until he could garnishee
the bank, which he afterwards did.
Then the partners had little conversa-
ton in the back Office, which resulted
in Mr. Jones telling Mr.. West he could
pay that check or be arrested, and in
Mr.. West telling Mr.. Jones to
go ahead and arrest. Accordingly
a warrant was sworn out charging
Mr.. West with embezzling S297.2O, the
property of Carrie f. Jones. When the
various details were laid before the
court yesterday, that official could not
see how Mr.. West had embezzled any
money when he hadn'treceived it. The
prosecuting attorney tried to make out
that Mr.. West had been an embezzler
during the period of time the draft
had been in the bank before
payment had been stopped, but the
point was little too fine and Mr.. West
was discharged. "Now Pm going to
have you arrested for forging your
wife'S signature on the check" re-
marked Mr.. West, as he leaned across
the attorneys table and glared at Mr.

Murderers in Northumberland"
Special to the Globe.
TOPEKA, Kan, Aug. 1.-THE six men
arrested for completely in the killing of
Sheriff Cross in 'No-Man's-Land'' were
arrested on warrant, charging them
with conspiring on Kansas soil to take
the life and property of other citizens.
The court has no jurisdiction over the
territory of "No-Man's-Land," hence
the murdererS cannot be arrested for
murder, but it is thought the fact of
conspiracy can be established against
them under the United States law The
penalty fOr this offense is Imprisonment
in the penitentiary for a term not ex-
ceeding ten years. The men are il.
Chamberlain, chairman of the Stevens
county commissioners; Sam Robinson,
city marshal of Hugoton; G. W. Don
aid, l.. E. Cook, j. E. Cook and one
other whose name is not given. The
prisoners will probably reach Topeka
to-day and have ali examination before

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Aug. 7-While two
boys, jackson Moore and John Harvey,
aged about seventeen years, were hunt

large rattlesnake coiied on rock, ap-
parently asleep. Moore said he would
capture the snake alive. He crept up
to the deadly rattler and by quick
movement caught it firmly below the
head and held it at arms length in
triumph. Suddenly the snake coiled
itself around the boys arm.
He became frightened and ATTEMPTED
to throw it off, when the reptile struck.
him in the neck. Its fangs became fast
ened nIn the flesh. The unfortunate
victim screamed with horror, and grasp
ing the snake with both hands tore it
loose and flung it to the ground. He
then fell to the earth in swoon, while
his terrified friend fled for assistance.
The nearest house was two miles dis
tant, and when help arrived the poor
lad was past help and died in agony.
The snake was found coiled close by,
and when killed measured four feet
nine inches and had eighteen rattleS.

WANTS BIG DAMAGES.
A Suit Against the City Which
Needs Investigation.


John Berquist will soon begin an ac-
ton against the city to recover S10,475
damages for being injured while at
work laying water main May 2S last.
While at work that day he was ordered
by the foreman to go down into the eX-
cavation, although the place was un-
safe. He objected, but was forced
to go. He had been down but
a moment when the walls gave way
and buried him in the dirt, injuring
MIN so seriously that he will be a Grip
pie for the remainder of his life. Since
the accident he was asked to sign an
agreement releasing the city from all
responsibility for $50, but this he re-
fused to do. When he first made up his
mind to bring suit, he learned that the
foreman had gone to all the men who
had seen the accident and ordered them
never to tell anything about it under
the penalty of being at once discharged.
