Tricked Out OF His Money.

Special Officer Doherty arrested
Frank Robinson yesterday on the ar
rival of the Milwaukee train from Chi
cago, and had him locked up on the
charge of larceny from A. L. Hazeltine
1t seemed that Robinson tried to ''flim-
fam" Hazletine out of $40 and, in fact,
succeeded. As soon as HaZletine dis
covered that he had been duped, he
complained to the depot officer and
Robinson was placed under arrest.
Robinson is generally known as
"candy butcher" He was given the
$40 bill for some fruit, and in returning
the change tried to make his customer
believe that it was only 81 that was
handed to him. AS soon as HaZeltine
reached st. Paul he reported the mat
ter to the depot policeman and Robin
son was promptly placed under arrest

Hunt After Applejack.

Police Capt. Washburn (retired), for
merry of the Twenty-siXth precinct,
tells this story to the Evening Sun of
all expedition after applejack, which he
made in the late war:
''While we were lying at Bolivar
Heights in the summer OF 1864 negro
came into camp one evening and said
to me:
"'Marse cap'n, dom Eyer want some
good ole applejack? If yer does, l
knows whar dar'S some tree year OLE
You can just imagine that my mouth
began to water, and that | said 'Yesr
mighty quick. | asked him where the
stuff was.
Its ober de ribber, buried in de
edge o. de grade yard
"'See here, you black rascal, what do
you mean by telling me such an Internal
hep | shouted. The darkey began to
tremble, but he replied:
"'Clar to goodness, massa, Use tell
de trut. 1t am buried dar, shuah. l
know it, 'kase helped bury it tree
year ago, JUS befo' de wah.'
Il thought there might be something
in it, and sent him off to bed, telling the
guard to keep a close watch on him.
Bright and early the next morning L
crossed the pontoons with fifty musketS,
for | didn't intend TO be led into any
trap. you know Each man carried with
him a camp kettle, or pot, besides his
eadteen and cup, and we took along
couple of spades, gimlet and piece of
rome. When we got to the graveyard
the darkey led the way for some dis
lance into the cemetery and stopped be-
fore mound, which was marked by a
headStone.
't'It's dar, Marse Cap'n,' he said.
II turned on him and said, sharply:
you black imp, if we don't find that
barrel of apple-jack I'll have you shot.
/ thought you told me 1t was on the edge
of this graveyard p"
. $50 it was, maSSa, when we bury it,
but dat was tee year ago, an dere'S

- looked at the headstoneS and
found that it was so. Then l examined
the headstone which the darkey said
marked the resting place of the whisky.
There was graved upon it very affect
ing epitaph. 1t was something about
poor John Barley, who had been cut off
before the ripening of the golden
corn, and that kind of stuff, and
felt some qualmS about disturbing the
grave. The darby persisted SO strenu-
ously, however, that the apple was
there that the desire for it overcame my
scruples. | told one of my men to watch
him, and if we didn't find the barrel to
shoot him, and set two other men to
work. The sod was carefully cut and
piled at one side, and they dug down.
Presently one of the spades struck
wood. The digger shuddered and the
darky grinned. / took hold of the spade
myself. and carefully removing the dirt
exposed the bilge of the barrel. As
uncovered it further, / found that the
wooden hoops had all rotten off, and
that it was held together only by an
iron hoop at each end. Then bored
hole in the top and another in the
side, and as the liquid oozed ont | tasted

The Veterans on Their Way to the
Encampment.
CHICAGO, Sept. all day to-day
delegates to the national Grand Army
of the Republic encampment, to be held
at Columbus, o., this week, were ar
irving in. this city by various routes.
1t took twenty-five cars to carry
the Pacific coast Communicates, and
many delegates arrived by posts from
the Northwestern states. Grand Army
men and their wives fairly swarmed
around the union depot this evening,
and over forty coaches left for Column
bus by the Pennsylvania route alone.
Among the host was Commander Rea
with his escort. He was expect
ing, he said, to see larger
attendance than at any previous
encampment. As to the probable sue
ceSSor TO the office Of commander he
could merely say there were half a
dozen names proposed, all gentlemen
prominent in the order and qualified to
perform the duties of the position, Gen.
Rea added that he would no accept re-

FRIENDSHIP HAS CEASED
Between Two Dentists Who Played
Pool.
SPOTTED SEVEN BALLS
The Loser Doesn't Speak to His Old
Associate as They
Pass By.

There are two young men in this city,
both tooth manipulatols, who after their
days work is done adjourn to billiard
parlor on Fifth street and engage ina
friendly bout at pool. They play nearly
an even game, but one insists on the
other spotting him seven balls. Pleased
with the flattery of being thought
so good player, he allows the heavy
odds, though the difference in their
playing is not such as to allow of so big
discount. But one is too proud to
come down to even terms, and the other
has sinch and amt sayin' word.
They are warm friends and would make
any sacrifice for each other. But pool
is treacherous game. 1t is no respecter
of persons or friendships. 1t has been
the means of raising lcebergS between
good and true friends where once eX-
listed glowing Garland radiators, and
sundering tenderest ties. Well, they
begin the game in kind of "Do-unto-
others -as-you-would-they-
to-you" style, and this continues
almost until the end of the first
game. When finished, the smile
which the defeated had worn has de-
parted, and look of seriousness now
duOrlS MS Dr0W. Inc winner mas TWO
smiles, having gobbled the other fell
lows. The second game begins and
ends with the same result as the first.
The fellow giving the odds gets whipped
again. By this time he has left all jok-
ing aside, and begins to give short an
Swers to his adversary. When the third
game opens communication between
the two is carried on in monOtones, and
the loser commences to throw out jnsin-
uationS about the others ''bull-head"
luck. OF course his own playing is.
pure science. The third game termi-
mates like the first and second. The loser
and the best player is now too not to
speak. There is blood in his eye and
malice in his heart. During the fourth
game the winner. who. by this time, is
all-confident of his prowess, begins to
bank the balls where he could make
them by straight shots. The loser
makes brilliant shots, but his own ball
in every instance finds pocket. This
enrages and rattles him at the same
time, and satisfied that his name is
Dennis, he throws his cue on the table
and seeks the cool air without.

with the greatest of care dug away the
dirt all around the barrel. Then made
an incline plane of dirt, got the rope
around the barrel and buckled it up to
the level, trembling all the while for
fear the crazy old thing would fall to
pieces. We bedded it firmly in dirt,
knocked in one of the heads, and the
men filled their pots and kettles. We

FENCES AND DEATH.
The Fence Case Argued and carter
Doomed.

Some very fine arguments we're made
in the Douglas william Sartoris fence case
before the supreme court Yesterday. Hon.
w. W. Corlett and Judge Peck presented
their views of the question in lengthy
speeches. the former for the corporation
and the latter for the government. The
gist of Mr.. Corlett's argument was that
the United States cannot arrogate to itself
the power to grant land without ~restric-
tions and then presume to impose certain
conditions on the owners. In this in
stance, he claimed, land had been trans.
ferred to the Union Pacific, in turn sold
to third parties, who fenced it. At this
iuncture the government interferes and
congress enacts a law declaring the plac.
ing of barriers on the public domain lille
gal.
Judge Peck's argument was to the Ell
feet that the government was as a matter
of course supreme as the whole is greater
than any of its parts and that its edicts
should command respect and obedience.
The addresses were erudite and master
ly, covering every point in the controversy
with remarkable clearness. Many attor-
neys and others were present throughout
the proceedings and listened to the efforts
of the learned debators with marked at
t~ention. Several remarked hat better
presentation of the two sides of a techni-
cal and important suit were never made
in the West. Few authorities were cited.
In fact, few exist. as fence cases are not
numerous as yet.
No decision will be rendered until
Aug. 81.
Ben. f.. Carter, the Carbon county
murderer is to hang. Aug "a is the day
set for the execution. His attorneys made
a stubborn fight for their client, but with
out avail. The judgement OF the lower
court was affirmed and the application
for a writ Of error refused.
Court adjourned to Aug. 81.

L have incidentally learned that a
resident of this city has been industrious
ly interviewing some of my customers and
berating me soundly. saying that | had
ordered and paid for a number Of adver-
Using signs made in Chicago instead Of
having them made in this city; and that
| have failed to practice what | preached,
that is, to ~patronize home industry.
In contradiction of all such statements
l would say that Charles Kresl of Chica-
go, a dealer in fancy labels and a manu-
facturer OF cigar boxes, an old friend with
whom [ have been dealing ever since |
have been in business for myself, some
time ago kindly furnished me, on his own
motive. and at his own expense, a number
of fancy business cards or signs for distri'
button among my customers. The same
were a voluntary contribution from a deal
er who can appreciate a good customer,
and any statements made as to the pur-
chase of said signs are utterly false.
