HE DROPPED FIFTY.
The Bunko Game Very Successfully
Worked Yesterday.

hOThtu
a stranger named Stahl, mailing from
Marietta, claiming TO be Pinkerton de
tective and further alleging he was very
''keenn and sharp was euchered out OF
fifty dollars, yesterday, on the old-time
bunko racket
Stahl was standing near Carriers saloon,
on Main street yesterday morning, when
city chap came along, slapped hayseed on
the back, Wrung his hand heartily and in
auired how all The family were.
Stahl was delighted to meet
a man who knew his folks, and when the
city man asked how his sick cousin was
getting along, he touched tender spot in
Stahl's heart, and was asked in to have
drink. The two men talked for time, and
grew confidential. Finally the city man
said he needed fifty dollars awful bad to
pay for bill of good, and hated TO 20 away
up town 10 a bank; could Stahl accommo-
date him. Stahl could do it, and would do
It, and after another drink the half century
changed hands.
About the time this was going on, third
party strolled in the saloon, and began 10
absent -mindedly and awkwardly chuck
dice on the bar. Stahl city friend watch
ed him for while, put Stahl on, - and
suggested it would be nice thing TO win
the fifty OUT from the awkward dice
thrower If he won he would pay Stahl
his fifty back and would get his goods, too,
and if he lost, he would have TO 20 10 bank
anyhow, and would got 500 and pay Stahl
his $50 Stahl was entirely willing TO win
the so, and the third party, who seemed TO
be thinking of something far away, and TO be
quite absent minded, was inveigled into
game IL is hardly necessary 10 say the
quiet man with the PARKWAY look in his
eyes, scooped in the $50 belonging TO Stahl,
| folded the bills carefully, placed them IN
his pocket and walked out. Stahl watch
ed him disappear, and then turned to
speak to his friend, but the friend had
quietly stepped out in the excitement, and
Stahl was left. He hunted up policeman
and told his story, and then, after an
nOuncing lie was a detective, he said:
"Oh, If I'd Just had my shield on, I'd
have brought that fellow down with my
gun. I'm keen; I've got clear eye, and
could do it
Would you know him again asked the
policeman, who smothered a smile with
comprehensive yawn.
Know him. Well | should say would.
I'm a detective, and I'm onto these fellows.
I'll hunt him up"
Stahl then went out and looked over sew
eral fences into the back yards IN the
vicinity of the saloon, but his keen eye
did not fall on his late friend. When last
seen ne was still looking for the so.

escape from drowning, at the Back river
dam, Tuesday evening. Mr.. Cobaugh, in
company with Norwood Richardson, a
son OF viii Richardson, was bathing in the
river. Richardson came out and dressed,
and was followed as he thought, by both
the others In few minutes, however,
it was seen Cobaugh was missing and
while they were looking for him he came
to the surface of the water, gasping for
breath and almost exhausted. Richardson
threw off portion of his clothing, and

TO he Editor ofthe Register:
SRI desire to call the attention of the
proper authorities to the $50 called" relig-
ious meetings conducted every Sunday al
ternoon in the Second ward market house.
and every evening in the week at other
public places In the Second ward mar
ket house every Sunday AFTERNOON at 3
O'Clock these people mount the butchers
benches, and for two hours or more will do
things that would cause the immediate ar
rest of any citizen if he would undertake
In do them without first announcing his
meeting a religious meeting. Insult upon
insult are thrown into the faces OF men who
are granted permission TO transact bust
ness i'm YOUR midst by Council. One of the
sneakers at the market house meeting last
Sunday used language so insulting to sew
eral of our most law abiding citizens that
should he use the same language al any other
than a religious meeting he would be put
under arrest and promptly fined by any
court of Justice. II the Wheeling police
are afraid to exercise their duties in this
matter | think il is time that Council
should tBke some steps and at least pro-
tect from insult a class of citizens who are
legally authorized TO do the business they
are engaged in. / believe in religious in
stitutions and have the highest regard for
all church going people, but think
that they ought TO be compelled to hold
their services in buildings for that purpose.
If all church authorities in this city
would conclude to hold their services out
on the public streets, am sure that the
city guardians would be compelled TO in
terfere. Why should then, these Saliva
ton soldiers and Prohibition advocates be
allowed to occupy public space and obstruct
the streets and sidewalks as they do!
Would the citizens of Wheeling tolerate
anti prohibition meetings in the public
streets of Wheeling on Sunday afternoons!
venture to say no, thousand times no,
and why. should they nou have that
right rs well as the Prohibitionists have:
IfSunday selling is so obpoNious to them,
thoy have recourse; there is law against
II.
IL outdoor Prohibition meetings are TO
be allowed, let the guardians of the peace
see that no insults are heaped upon tax
paving and law abiding citizens, and that
standing on meat and vegetable stalls IS
prohibited as it is by ordinance. The
butchers ought not TO allow it or they
ought to wash benches before putting meat
on same. Yours truly,
No SAINATfON SOLDIER.
