is not so much the loss of the buttons over
which Mr.. Myers grieves rs il is the notorieiy
iuto which one Herman CrOcker or Thrifty
Dick" the pawncroker, has brought him by
suing Myers for false Imprisonment.
Nh Myers was seen last ev ming at the Cercle
Francais, French club, on Post street. and
gave the following story OF bis trouble:
"AbOut one week age" said he, Il was pass

My foreman want a cheap watch, and con-
cludcd thai / would make purchase for him.
Il Tad In my rocket a very elegant pair of
sleeve buttons. VIII ich were presented TO me by
President Barrios.
II LANDED the buttons 10 Crocker, and asked
ms opinion OF them; then turned partially
around 10 lock al some other articles offered
for sale.
"W hen asked Crocker for the buttons again
he replied bat had them In my possession.
