KNEW HIM IN VIRGINIA,
A Young Man From Lynchburg
Robbed by a BuncO Steerer.

Last night about O'Clock just after
having eaten his supper, A. ii. Robinson,
green young man from Lynchburg, Va
was standing in front of the Southern
hotel, picking his teeth, when youRg
man, nicely dressed and of polished man
ners. approached him, Looked at him y
moment and with a happy sT'!", sire ched
Robbie, old boy; when did you strike the
city? Why, bless me, | haven't seen you
in a cOon'S age" Robinson shook hands
with him and asked him his name. saying
that he did not remember him. The fell
low said his name was Clark, VIII Clark,
and knew him back in old Virginia"
That was sufficient and they went in
and got drink. Clark told Robinson
that across the street was nice place to
spend an evening, and took MIN into the
Buck horn saloon, showed him the many
horns there and they took another drink,
this time on Robinson. Clark told his
friend that there was little room up
stairs 10 the rear, where it was nice and
cool, and they would go in there and
talk. When they entered this room, there
were two other men, playing poker. Rob
inSOn was introduced and was asked to
take hand, Clark having sat down and
commenced to play. Robinson refused to
play, saying that he didn't know one card
from the other. Clark laughed and asked
him if he had any money. Robinson said
yes, that he. had money, and, putting his
hand in his pocket, pulled out about $50
in gold and currency. Clark raked it out
of his hands and showed it over
to one of the other men, who in turn
showed it to the other one. This last man
showed it in drawer, showed Robinson a
stack of chips and commenced dealing the
cards. Clark said he wanted his money:
that he did not walt to play cards. and d t
last demanded it, threatening that if it
was not forthcoming Immediately, he
would go for a policeman. They urged
him to play, but he refused ard left the
room TO go in search of an officer. He
secured the services of Detectives Van
Ripper aud O'Meara, who at once arrested
Clark.
The accused gave bond, promising to
appear this morning at $50 o'clock and
answer to the charge, but he did not
make his appearance. consequently there
was an alias warrant issued for his ar
rest.

LIVES IN EARTHLY SHEOL
A Wretched Man Driven Out of the
City on Account or His
Evil Ways.

T. J. Crawford, as has been stated in
the daily newspa perS of this city, is a
worthless man who makes his living by
begging free lunches and imposing on the
good natured men of this city. He has
been a frequent inhabitant of the bat
cave and his face is quite familiar to the
lLaferS around the various dives of the
town. Last Monday morning he was ar
rested for being a suspicious character.
and when his case came up before the re-
corder. he was given few hours to leave
the city and rhe officers were instructed
TO arrest him if he were seen on the streets
after dark, Monday.
Sunday night he made his way down
South Flores street, and when questioned
by paSser-by what his design was in
being in that portion of the city, he re-
marked: Il am going down to Andy
Stevens house and / will get one of
hem" meaning, it is supposed, that he
intended doing some rash deed, as he had
tried to borrow revolver one hour pre-
vionS to that time.
Mrs. Stevens is a sister of Mrs. Craw
ford and this demon thinks he is entitled
to be recognized by them owing TO the fact
that ne is related Mrs Crawford has re-
fused TO live with him any longer and is
commended by her many friends for the
wise resolution. She is a noble lady and
has stood many abuses and has been
grieVe0 many times at the horrible way
in which her once respectable husband
nowsacts.
For the past six months this fellow has
been lettering around and has never been
known to even ask for work. He enters
the prominent business houses of the city,
and with pitiful song on his lips, tells
some manufactured story, which none but
a morphine fiend can relate. and receives
the sympathy of his hearers. and in most
cases two bit piece. Last night he was
seen in saloon near the Washington
theatre, and when told that the officers
were in search of him he made a sneak,
and has not since been seen.
Crawford is great lover of that life
destroying drug, morphine, and so long

WAS 1T BERT E. MOORE?

A Suspicion That the Body Found in
Davenport Last Spring Was That of the
Unfortunate Young Man.
Last week THE ARGUS printed a de-
tailed account of the disappearance of
Bert E. Moore of Port Byron, who left
there under such strange circumstances
last spring. and has not been heard of
since. While the young man had al
ways been of a bright and cheerful dis
position and had never given any indica-
ton that he was dissatisfied with his
surroundings. yet many who were init =
belief that he has either been victim of
self-destruction or foul play.
1t will be remembered that
the body of Young man
was found in the river near raft above
the Lindsay mills in Davenport last
spring which may possibly have some
connection with the case. The body
showed him to be well-dressed young
man who from all appe arances might
have been trsdesman like Moore. No
marks of violence whatever were found
on the body indicating that he had met
with foul play but as there was nothing
in his pockets that would lead to the es-
adjustment of his identity. the body
was buried in Davenport no special eff
fort being made to learn the name of
the unfortunate young man. Undertaken
Wheelan, who assisted In looking after
the burial of the body in Davenport,
states that he was to all appearances a
rather good looking young man. and his
general description tsllies very well with
that Of young Moore. The fact that the
latter never sent back his clothes or even
for his money which is still in bank there,
is strong evidence that the theory of his
having met some tragic end, is the cor
rect one. At any rate the case ought 10
be inquired into, and every effort made
to solve the mystery that oe'rhangs it.
