NEATLY SWINDLED.
Tiffany Defrauded by the Son OF q
Former Friend
He Acknowledge His Guilt To Inspector
Steers at Police Headquarters-The
Stealing Had Been automatically
CARRIED For Over Five Years.

New YORK. April 2s.-Jas. A. Palmer,
of this city, was arrested Thursday aft
ernoon, charged with the larceny OF
$4,000 from the firm of Tiffany & Co,
on Union square. Palmer was captured
ut his warerooms, l3 East Seventeenth
street, and when he learned that
his misdeeds had been found out,
he exclaimed: "Oh, my, 1 wish
had shot myself!' He ac-
knowledged his guilt to Inspector Steers
later at police headquarters. The steal
ing had been carried on for more than
five years in very systematic manner.
Charles l.. Tiffany, the head of the firm
of Tiffany & Co, and James L. Palmer,
the prisoners father, were close friends
from boyhood days until Mr.. Palmer
died in 1878, leaving his business To his
son.
The Palmers manufactured fine bronze
goods for Tiffany & Co. He rendered
the firm many large bills. The son was
manager for the elder Palmer, and did
great deal of the business. On ac-
count of the warm friendship which ex-
isted between the elder Palmer and Mr..
Charley Tiffany, the usual system of
auditing bills was not used in the set
Ting of the accounts
When old Mr.. Palmer died, the same
courtesy and loose way of conducting
business was continued by the son,
who abused the confidence reposed in
him. On Monday last discrepancy
was discovered in n bill rendered by
the prisoner on the 18TH inst for $40.
The items only footed up $500. The
bill had been checked with the initinls
of Mr. Il. G. Cook, IA member of tho
firm of Tiffany & Co. When Mr.. Cook
was shown the initials he pronounced
them forgeries. The case was then re-
ported TO the police. Palmer lis so years
old and married. His wife is complete
ly Frustrated ut the turn affairs havo
taken. They have three children. Pal
mer had been playing the races, and
losing heavily. He was drunk when
arrested. 1t is thought that his swindling
may exceed $50, 900, after an examination
of the books and accounts has been
made.

Flows Freely In the Fight for I.and-Rc-
ported Battle Between Texans and
Kansnns.
Fir. RENO, o. T., April 22-Gov. Scay
has arrived here. Reports have reached
him that there has been a battle be-
tween the Texans and Kansans over
town site claims, in which fourteen men
were killed. This news comes through
man who claims To have left the new
county seat just after the battle.
This report says the Texans and
Kansans made the race from the south
line of the county in close parallel
lines and reached county seat of coun-
ty Ill Mt nearly the same time They
then scattered and the scrambled for
lots began. 1t was then that the trouble
commenced.
First there was n war of words and
then revolvcrs were drawn, and before
Capt. De Rudio, the regular army Off
Ger in charge, could interfere, IL men
were killed.
Col. Wade, commanding Ft. Reno,
is anxious, having no courier advices.
He believes the fight has been greatly
exaggerated, for he has confidence in
the discretion and valor of Capt De
Rudio.
Lieut.. Swift brings in word of n con-
hict among four men about twenty
miles from this point. who had settled
ON the same claim. He says one man
was killed, one fatally wounded, and
the two uninjured ones fled before tho
patrols could arrive.

slaughter house and sausage factory
