forts to Stop Souvenir Leak.
CHICAGO, Sept. 11.-For some time
past it had been known that there was
a leakage in the supply of souvenir
tickets Inspector Bonfeld's men
watched the case with care and
at last suspected Il. R Full
ton Of Bathsheba, Kan, who
came here not from necessity for he
is a man of means, but in order to
save his expenses. He had letters
from the governor Of Kansas and 9TH
er prominent men and stood very high.
A detective was, however, put on guard
over him and soon secured his absolute
confidence.
Then the detective managed to Sc
cure two souvenir tickets at a re-
duced price and found a trunk half
filled with these tickets. That seemed
to him to justify Fulton's arrest and
he committed the blunder of taking
his victim to Captain Bonfeld's Office
without awaiting any evidence re-
garding the source from which the
tickets were procured.
Fulton defed all efforts to force him
to talk. President Higinbotham him
self interviewed him and it is said
offered him a position on the secret
service force if he would disclose his
accomplish. Fulton fatty refused to
accept the offer and threats met with
the same result.
Finding his tactics successful Fulton
took the aggressive and when he was
asked: Where did you get your
Recommendations" replied: From a
lot of fools like yourself. Iwant some
thing to eat and / want some good
cigars and you've got to get EN-"
AT last, when Fulton had been in
captivity twenty-four hours he knew
that the game was his and said: "You
can't hold me any longer and you
know it."
Captain Bonfeld did know it and
consequently Fulton is once more free,
with his secret still locked within his
breast

seconds and a dull cheer went up
from dusty Threats, but this was
found to be untrue and there were
angry mutterings.
All day Sunday confidence men piled
their trade among the boomers in line
with the shell game and three card
monte and picked up good deal of
money. The county attorney was in
formed of their operations and during
the afternoon sent out some deputy
sheriffs and drove the sharpers away.
If rain does not come soon a great
deal of sickness will result
The last two days has seen the
greatest influx of boomers. Every
road leading here has been filed with
an unbroken procession of wagons and
every train has come in crowded.
Every available camping ground about
the city has filled up since Friday
night Newspaper men who went
through the Oklahoma rush say
that the crowd now present
greatly outnumbers that at
that memorable event Up to
Friday, most of those arriving had
been the town lot contingent but
now the wagons are coming in. Sat-
urday and yesterday there was a seri-
GUS bread famine and yesterday the
grocery stores were compelled to keep
open all day to feed the hungry in
corners. 1t is almost impossible to
get anything to eat at the hotels or
restaurants. Every place in town is
filed with cots and many have been
compelled to sleep in doorways and on
the streets.
