SWINDLERS CAPTURED.
Arrest of Three Men Caught In
the Act.

For the past few days Messrs. Pooler
& MacRyder, who have an employ
ment office on First street, have been
troubled with number Of sharpers
who have been hanging around their
place of business ready to pounce
upon and swindle any greenhorn
whom they might find. The other
day these men made proposition to
Mr.. Pooler that they would give him
As per cent. of all the money they
obtained from parties introduced to
them by him. This, it is alleged,
Pooler accepted and proceeded to lay
a trap for them. When all was pre-
pared he introduced young English
man named Oliver to the men and he
was readily drawn into their scheme,
but not before he had been well posted
as to the part he should play. Officers
Lynch, Auble and Mckenzie were at
hand and secreted themselves in an
adjoining harness room, where they
could overhear every work spoken.
At the appointed time the swindlers
arrived and with them Oliver and
Mac Ryder and all went into Pooler's
office to draw up documents, ETC., by
which Oliver was to make fortune
in short time. They offered to sell
to Oliver two bottles for $50. Tthe fluid
in one was for cleaning the teeth and
the other for silver plating. They
had a large brass screw like the nozzle
OF hydrant upon which they illus
trated the silver plating method, al
the same time offering to give him a
guarantee that the plating would last
from two to ten years; further that il
he bought the patent he would have
to commence business in San Diego
or San Francisco. Oliver appeared t(
be much taken with the scheme
and offered $25, but his
friend Mac Ryder pursuaded hin
to have $50 invested. Here the
fakirs produced references from
agents in the country purporting thai
they were making q fortune by the in
vestment they had made with the
same firm. Oliver drew out checl
for $50 and in rather loud toni
spoke to the man who accepted it
This was a signal, for a few seconds
later the three detectives rushed int
the room and captured the men whom
they handcuffed and took to the po
lice station.
Their names are 7. w. Arthur, A
Mckinley and J. HI. Martin. They arr
said to be we'll known in detectiv
circles, and it is thought that this ar
rest will put stop to the man.

THE "PRINCESS IDA"

Advertising Scheme.

The Chicago and Atoms Latest
Advertising scheme.
Mr.. Jay w. Adams, the gentle
manly and wide-awake Travelling Pas
senger Agent of the Chicago and Al
ton Railway, who is at present in the
city in the interest Of his pushing
road, has presented this office with
an elabor ate illustrated parody on the
Princess Ida," by D. Dalziel, editor
of the Chicago Newsletter. The
chromo-lithographic work in the
pretty volume is of marked artistic
merit, while the literary part of the
undertaking has been ably done. 1t
is sparkling and bright, and serves
we'll as foil against the usually dry
statistical folders so common in rail
road offices.
The recent attempt to boycott the
road for paying commissions is we'll
known, and this is gently touched on
in the parody by King Canon, who,
in spite of himself, can't help saying
"And yet with all my little whims, really
must decline
To say single word against my fav'rite
Alton Line"
A perusual of the whimsical yet in
structive iravesty will prove highly
enjoyable.
