OF the best character, and sellin was confined
almost entirely TO the professional element

The police are looking for a trio OF
clever confidence men who worked the
spring lock swindle upon a man
named j. B. Young ON Monday.
Young e=me to Seattle from the East
about two weeks ago. He brought his
family with him and intended to 60
into business with $500 he had left
after paying travelling expenses.
On Sunday he net q genial fellow
named Gus Brown and confided to
him that he was anxious to 20 into
business. Brown Said be wanted to
70 into the restaurant business ard
was looking for partner who had
1900 TO invest. This suited Young aud
he at once entered into q copartner-
ship with his newly found friend, who
said be had arranged for the purchase
Of . Nashington-street eating house,
al but paying over the $500.
Monday morning Brown and Young
started out to complete the purchase
OF the restaurant: but the former sud-
denly remembered that he would
have TO 60 70 his room on Fourteenth
street 10 get a part oil his money and
induced his partner to accompany
him They walked cut Yesler avenue
to Thirteenth street where Young
found q curious looking paddock on
the sidewalk He examined 1t closely
and discovered that BY touching a
spring it would fy open and as he
walked along he admired its mechan-
ism. and wondered who had lost it.
When they reached Fourteenth
street Brown and Young were ac-
costed hg man who asked the latter
II be could see the lock be had in his
hands.
Yo ing handed il over and laughed
when The man failed 10 open II. This
appesred TO make the stranger mad
and he offered 70 bet that neither
Bruwn nor Yuung could open il.
Brown said he sas rot a betting man.
but nrhged Young 70 take up $500
banter made by the stranger. So
Young deposited his sss3Is in the hands
OF his partner aud took the lock in
his hands with eager confidence
By some strange nscrofna,icy. how
ever. the lock refused TO open in res
ponse to the -prlng and fae stranger
demanded the stakes. Brpwn with
apparent Iuwiiiingness turned the
stakes over 20 the stranger. Young
then became indignant and denounced
bis quoaaasn partner ard the stranger
ss swinaiers: but the stranger sIreH q
pistol and told him to shut s,,. 1T
this iuncture another stranger came
np and the dispute was referred 10
him. He took Yoang's part and told
him to rua after the police while he
guarded the two men.
Brown acted npon this suggestion
and ran with all possible speed 20 POI
ice headquarters, where he told his
story. Officer sans,rogn was detailed
to 50 hack with him: bat when they
arrived at Fourteenth ssrees hill.
