A Couple of Snide Jewelry Fakirs
Come to Grief.

A SouPAo va oS"Chy
Come to Grief.
j. B. Cronk and Frank Comstock, of Bar
rington, ILL.,, have been doing Omaha for the
past ten days on the snide jewelry fake.
They were arrested yesterday by Detectives
Ormsby and Dempsey as suspicious charac-
ters and turned out to be desirable prisoners
in disguise. Comstock is young fellow but
a little past his majority, and when arrested
peached on his partner, and was himself
givep away by letter he had in his pocket.
Comstock's story is that he and
Cronk left Chicago together with
horse and buggy belonging to
his father, and worked their way to Omaha
selling iewelry. After arriving here Cronk
sold thehorse and buggy to Henry Homan
for $50, telling him that he had secured the
outfit at Des Moines in exchange for gold
watch, valued at S175. COmstock alleges
that Cronk is wanted at Saginaw, Mich, for
several crimes. Cronk is known here as
Frank Lamar, under which name he caused
the police some trouble three years ago. The
Saginaw authorities have been notified of his
arrest.
Comstock had IN his possession letter
from his father at harrington, ILL.,, begging
him to come home and stand trial. AS the dis
trict attorney was after him and would run
him down. The young man admitted that he
was wanted at home, but would not tell the
nature OF the offense of which he is charged.
