WON THE Stakes,
Only to Have Them Wrested From
Him by Highwaymen.

Thomas Kerner, a young man about
twenty years old and telegraph oper-
ator at Hamilton, Mimi, came to this
city yesterday in search of man
named O'Neill. A few days ago Kerner
and man from Shakopee signed arti-
cles fora prize fight, to take place last
Saturday night. 1t was for Sl25 side,
the $3.50 being posted with James
Hurley, a saloOnkeeper of Hamilton.
The ShakOpee man failed to show up,
and Sunday Kerner asked for the
stakes. Hurley refused to give them
up, but said he would deliver them up
Monday night. Accordingly Monday
night kerner, with man named Brown
and another named Joe Hendys, went
up to get his $3.50. Hurley paid it to
kerner, and the trio started back to the
depot On their way they were way
laid. Kerner was robbed OF his $3.50,
Brown of $3.50 and Hendys of a watch.
The matter was reported to private
detective named O'Neill. Tuesday
O'Neill returned the watch and $3.50,
but nothing was said about the $3.50 to
.Kerner. He heard about the other
things being returned and went to see
why O'Neill had not secured the $3.50
also. O'Neill was not to be found in
Hamilton, so yesterday Kerner came
to st. Paul to try and find him here.
Up to last night no trace of Mr.. O'Neill
had been discovered

A Stranger From Illinois
Earns the Title Of q
Sucker.
Will They Ever Learn to Be
Wary Of Chance Ac-
quaintances?
One Days Doings at the Cap
ital Collected by Globe
Reporters.

One of the cleyerest confidence games
operated in ST. Paul for many moons
was played successfully yesterday. The
victim was John Siegfried; but the oper-
ators are as yet unknown because they
have not been apprehended. Siegfried
arrived in st. Paul from Illinois yester-
day and intended taking the westbound
Northern Pacific train last night for
Seattle. W. T. While strolling
around town he was accosted; by a
big man about forty-fve years old, with
short-cropped dark whiskers and mus
tache. They became engaged in con-
versation, and the stout Individual, who
probably had on false beard or has
had his whiskers trimmed since, said he
was also going to Seattle on the same
train as Siegfried. He induced the lat
ter to walk up to his house. Just be-
fore they reached the place another
man with chin whiskers came up
and stopped Siegfried's friend, present
ing a bill to him. The confidence man
had no change, but said he had a thou
sand-dOllar bill, which, of course, his
accOmplice couldn't change. Siegtried
was appealed to by the first friend. He
couldn't change the thousand-dOllar bill
because he only
HAD $3.50 ON HIS PERSON.
"Well, let me have that" said his
new acquaintance, land as soon as we
get down town III have the $1,000 bill
changed and give your money back to
you. Siegfried gave up the $3.50, and
confidence man No. 2 was paid the
amount of his bill and walked off. Sieg-
fried and the other party continued
up the street, going, presumably, to the
latter's house. When they came to a
brick block the stranger who had OBJ
tanned the $3.50 said: "Wait here min
ute until go UP and get my wife. Well
all go down town together and I'll get
this bill changed"
Siegfried waited. He might have
been there yet, but after standing al
most half an hour he became tired.
Then he went up stairs to find his
friend, but only discovered back stair
way by which the confidence man had
departed. taking the $3.50 and the
alleged one thousand-dollar bill. The
crooks have not been seen since and
probably never will be, while Siegfried
kicks himself for double expert
ence. Less than eight months ago
he claimed that he lost 5000 in saloon
in Portland, Ore, where he was clev-
erly beaten out of that amount. The
police are locking for the successful
workers, but they doubtless left st.
Paul within two hours after ''they had
turned the trick"

SETTLING AN ACCOUNT.
A Novel Method Which Puzzled
the Authorities.

A peculiar legal proposition that puz-
lied the authorities came up yesterday.
Among the articles which Jacob Bloom,
the Seventh street saloonkeeper, sold to
SIMON q Brock were bills amounting to
S275. The representative of the new
firm met one of the creditors against
whom they had a small account, and
presented the bill to him. He grabbed
the bill and other accounts. amounting
to about $3.50. The bills were printed
Oh letter heads and none of them were
Endorsed. The men from whose col
lector the bills were stolen, went to the
prosecuting officer yesterday, made a
complaint that Marks had stolen $3.50
from them, and asked to have him pros
ecuted for grand larceny. The officer of
the law said the bills only represented in
value the cost of the paper Oh which they
were written and not $3.50. The paper
was not worth anything. not being re-
ceipted, and the accounts were not
many. 1t was further concluded that,
because they were in writing the bills
did not represent any actual value and
no one could tell whether they could be
collected or not. TWAS simply question
whether the accused stole the paper or
the amount of money represented by
the face of the bill of account. The
prosecuting attorney concluded it was
the former and declined to take any &C
ton in the matter.

What You Want Done Well, Old
Yourself

To secure the best results the Penn
sylvania Lines have all the passenger
cars and locomotives used on its sys-
TEN built under its own supervision, in
its own shops, by its own employees, in
accordance with its own standard Speci-
ficahonS. The wisdom of this policy is
evidenced by locomotives acknowledged
by competent engineers and machinistS
to be the finest ever in service, in pas
Senger cars that are models of archi-
tectural design and handsome finish.
The observation of any passenger who
makes an Eastern trip on any of the
five excellent trains that leave Chicago
every day will verify this statement.
Excellence of construction is supple
mented by methods of operation con-
ducive to the prompt and safe move
ment of passengers. The employees of
the Pennsylvania Lines are carefully
TRAINED and disciplined, and are courte-
Gus and Obiigiug.

How They Killed Him.

SACRAMENTO, Cal, June l6.-Henry Myers,
implicated with John Olsen and Dagger IN
the murder Of John Lowell, a wealthy rancher
of Folsom, Cal, has made a statement In
which he said he became acquainted with
Lowell two months before the murder, which
was committed Sunday, March -, last. Low
ell at the time spoke about selling his proper
ty, as the neighbors were unfriendly TO him,
and as Myers knew something about stock,
asked the latter to sell his horses for him.
Subsequently, on March %, Myers went with
Olsen and Dagger t. Lowell's ranch TO obtain
employment cutting wood. On arriving at
the ra' Oh Olsen suggested that as they were
all poor they should put Lowell out OF the
way and divide the large amount OF money
he had and what they could realize from the
sale OF the stock, harness AID vehicles. A
plan was formed, and after breakfast the
four went out 10 look at the wood they We're
to cut. Lowell was two feet in front of Myers
when the latter fired the shot which killed
him. The body was then wrapped In canvas
and buried under some loose dirt Ia the eel
lar. When the men left the ranch thPJ took
several horses with them, which they sold,
and divided the proceeds. Myers then fed
south under an assumed name, Olson going
to sutter county, while Dagger remained in

The Ghost Stood by His Bed.

CHICAGO, June lG.-The mystery about the
murder Of William Barrett, the Pinkerton de.
~tective, May %, has never been cleared up,
although the murdered mans wife and his
brother-in-law were arrested for the crime.
A bartender named James Pope, with his .wo
sisters, lived in the same house with Barrett,
and it was surmised that they knew some
thing about the murder, as one OF the sisters
was detected sending an anonymous note to
Capt. O'Donnell, OF the police, declaring that
Mrs. Barrett and her brother were the real
murderers.
Pope died Thursday under somewhat pecu-
lar circumstances Three nights after the
murder he ran screaming into his sisters
room In a great fright and fell into a swoon.
When be recovered he said that the ghost OF
the murdered man had stood by the head OF
the bed and awakened him. His sisters tiled
to convince him that he had been dreaming,
but ne insisted that he had seen . real spirit.
The next night the scene was repeated and
for several nights thereafter. Tho youpg man
began TO grow thin and pale under the worry
and excitement. The sisters say they sat mp
with him one night aud heard the groanings
and rappings which their brother had de-
scribed.
The nightly visits went on and young
Popc's health became SO bad that a physician
was called ln. He failed steadily, however,
and Friday he was taken to the county hos
pital, where he died Thursday morning.
