THE MISSING LINK

How it Was Dropped Out of George
Bates Name by Thomas Lyndon.
1t is the Old. old story so often chroni-
cled by the daily papers.
ON Saturday night a man who gave his
name as Thomas Lyndon went to c. II.
Gilman's store and purchased So pair OF
boots and 50-cent pair of slippers,
tending in payment an order for so,
purporting to be signed by George
O. Bates, who has taken a contract TO
raise the Y-street levee.
Mr.. Gilman noticed that the o was
wanting TO the signature, but b. w.
COveN who was doing some carpenter
work there remarked that Lyndon looked
like an honest sort of fellow, and he
guessed it was all right.
Nell," said Gilman, "if you will in
dorse the order, ! will take it, and let
him have the goods"
Covell did so, and the fellow received
his goods and Sl4 30 in change. The
order was soon discovered to be
forgery and the police were notified.
Officer Maley ran across Lyndon yester-
day morning, and taking him into
custody, sent for Covell and Gilman,
who identified him as the party wanted,
and be will have chance to explain to
Judge Buckley this morning what be-
came of the missing link that binds to-
gether the front and rear names of the
eX-SupeTvisor.
Shortly after Mr.. Covell notified the
police Maley saw two fellows on X street,
near Third, one Of whom answered the
description given, but on seeing him they
ran into saloon. Running around into
the alley between Third and Fourth, he
caught Lyndon just as he was coming
down pair Of back stairs. He had the
shoes on his feet, but had got rid of all the
money but 81. He claimed never to have
been in the Red House, and to have
bought the shoes from another man, but
his identification is complete.

PEPPERING THE TARGET.
Second Semi-AnnuaI Target Practice
of Citizen Soldiers.
a Few Marksmen Who are Eligible to
Enter the State Champion
ship Contest.

The second semi-annual target practice
of the city members Of the National
Guard, including the brigade staff, Bat
terry B, Signal Corps, regimental, field
and staff officers and band, was held at
the shooting range yesterday. The at
tendance of marksmen was unusually
large, and number of good scores were
made.
The practice of the city companies was
held under the supervision of Lieutenant
l. a. Robbie, Regimental Inspector of
Rifle Practice.
According to the rules and regulations
governing the National Guard, especially
the provisions relating to target practice.
the tiring-point should be free from over
crOwding, and quietness should reign
supreme.
Such, however, was not the case at the
range yesterday.
Each company is provided with firing
stalls and, as the case may be, two or
more men can fire together and at sepa-
rate targets. At times the stalls were oc-
cupied by not only those who were firing,
but others who had already shot their
scores, or those who were waiting their
turn. Such state Of affairs is very
annoying and perpleXing to those en-
deavoring to hit the center of the target,
and as u result some of the scores were
not as high as they should be, which
would not be the case if good order aud
quiet were maintained Throughout the
time of practice.
Betting and predictions of success or
failure 10 make good OIL, bad scores should
not be allowed in the vicinity of the
firing stalls during the time the firing is
III progress.
The following members of Company E
made 20 or more at Yesterdays shoot:

A FRACTURED SKULL.
An Unknown Man Lies Unconscious at
the Police Station.
Knocked Down While Abusing 6
Waiter, His Head strikes the
Stone Sidewalk.

Shortly after s o'clock last night the pa
troll wagon was called to Third and h
streets and conveyed to the police station
a man who lay on the sidewalk insensi-
BILE. bleeding from the mouth and lett ear.
Officer Higgins also brought to the sta
ton John Garcia, waiter in the saloon,
who knocked him down.
DR.. C. 3. Nichols was sent for, and on
arriving did what he could for the suf-
ferer, giving it as his opinion, however,
that his skull had sustained a fracture
over the ear and that he was in precari-
GUS condition. He was a working man,
apparently of Irish birth, and about 10 to
30 years old. From various papers in his
pocket it was judged that his name was
John Dempsey, memorandum book be-
ing found in his pocket with that name
in it, and letter, with the date torn of,
commencing, Friend D." the rest of the
name being gone. lie wore an Odd Eel
lows pin.
Garcia is highly spoken of by the
officers as being a very pesceable, ac-
commodating young man, who, although
in place much frequented by drunken
men, has always hitherto managed to
avoid having trouble with anyone.
Several Of his friends, substantial citi-
zens, arrived in a short time with offers
of bail, which could not be granted till
the nature of the wounded mans injuries
could be determined.
In conversation with RECORD UNION
reporter, Garcia said: ''The man came
in and sat down, asking me if there was
anything to eat. 1 told him yes, if he had
money to pay for it. He said he had. and
pulled out of his pocket plug of tobacco,
pipe and several other things. noticed
that one Of his pants pockets and one
vest pocket were turned wrong side out,
and judged he had been cleaned out.
He could find no money. and said he
had had some, but it was gone. He then
called me a / took him
out OF his chair and put him out of the
saloon, without using force. He went up
to the corner by Lucey's saloon and then
came back.
lone of the railroad boys said to me,
He is going to break the screen door,
The man threw himself against it, and |
went out and asked him to go away and
not break the door. Instead OF doing so
he threw himself against it again. [ went
out again and told him to go away. He
raised his fist. and called me black -
again, and l hit him and he went
over back ward. There were several wit
nesses who saw it ALL"
Garcia seemed much affected at the I'M
lucky occurrence, and it is evident that
he had no intention of doing serious in
jury to the unfortunate man.

he is DESTROYS of doing anything in his

Dave Smiths Disastrous Attempt to
EYade the Law.

Dave Smiths Disastrous Attempt to
EYade the Law.
Dare Smith, the recent dispenser of
liquids at the notorious Trap saloon in
the CIunie building, learned something
on Saturday that may be of benefit to
him in the coming years.
Smith seems to have been imbued with
the idea that he was above the law, and
that he could fool the blind goddess and
defeat the will of the people-as expressed
in the law-by resortiDg to the old and
weak dodge Of selling temperance drinks
and giving away" liquor ana beer.
This was the fiimsy defense the young
man set up in the Police Court on Satur-
day when arraigned Tor selling liquor
without license. 1t is needless to say
that it did not work on Judge Buckley,
who promptly found Smith guilty and
set tomorrow morning as the time for
pronouncing sentence.
This fellow Smith should be made to
realize that 1t Is a dangerous pastime for
men TO attempt to ride over the law in
that manner. But aside from the silly
ruse resorted to, it was shown that liquor
was served TO customers on Friday night
and money received theretor-tnirty cents
for glass OF lemonade, one of beer and
one OF whisky.
Chief Rodgers himself saw the liquor
served, ana at once placed Smith under
arrest.

and abstracting buckskin purse con-
tanning between 50 and $40, ran away.
Roland pursued aud caught him, but
while in flight, Davis had thrown away
the purse. A lady who lives over Con-
gress Hall, however, saw him throw it
away and told those who were looking
for it where it fell, and they found it.
Davis was taken to Hahn's drug store
and Officer Maley soon arrived and took
him to the city prison, where Roland was
also detained as witness.

A PRACTICAL APPLICATION.
How u Scientific Young Man Proved the
Truth OF What He Said.

How u Scientific Young Man Proved tho
Truth OF What He Said.
A scientific young Dctroiter with some
admiration for young women does cOnsid-
cradle calling, and the girls don't always
like it, for he will insist upon talking sci
ence when romance and emotional fiction
arc so much more to their taste. The other
evening he was making call and very in
nocently began to talk of sleep.
''Do you know" he said, that while no
one fully understands what sleep is ono
thing is accepted as proved-to wit: That
the condition Of the blood vessels of tho
brain, and indeed of such tissues rs the
optic disk is IN an9mic one in sleep. AS
drowsiness comes on the surface of the brain
grows paler in color, and the lack of red
blood isnoticeable when such conditions are
observed. The theory of DR.. james Capple
of Edinburgh and of some other eminent
scientists has been to the effect that the
veins of the pia matter, the inner membrane
of the skull, are capable of congesting and
dispensing comparatively large quantities
of blood; that congestion produces vertigo
and 'senselessncss or stupor, and that the
dispersion of blood from the brain cells pro-
duceS aSllght compression on inc SURFACE OF
the brain and thus brings about sleep.
''Thc brain being less active the circula-
ton of blood to the brain is supposed by
this theory to be diminished, and as the
blood in the brain cells has passed into the
veins the effect will be to cause slight
yielding in the brain and u pressureupon it."
He stopped moment to catch a response
from the young woman.
A long, low. soft murmur, as Of tho wind
among the pines, came to him from the cor
ner of the sofa, where the heavier shadows
from the rich silken shade of tho silver lamp
fcll--the girl was snoring. Free
