BLAKE, In THE Tolls.
The ''vuIaInOus villain" Of "Ths Con-
rdentIal Clerk Keeps Up HIs Reps-
tIon A. Villain and Thief.

Sheriff Geo. Womack returned from
Fort Worth Tuesday morning having
in custody Arthur G. Blake, alias A.
G. Sprangler, and alias ]. A. Sanky
who, it ie alleged, stole a valise con-
tanning s75 worth of clothing from q
couple of young men in Gainesville
last Saturday morning. IL seems
that Walter Leach and Court Secorse
had left Ardmore with the intention
OF going to Fort Worth, one of them
coming to Gainesville with the ac-
cused, who Is n tailor. Upon their
arrival here, being from the territory
they very naturally got on a little
jambouree. which resulted in the
loss Of the valise, and the boys also
allege they lost about SIS in cash.
The accused went on to Fort Worth
where he was arrested on a telegram
sent by the sherih to tue authorities
there. The man with the many
aliases was committed 20 jail and the
young men ere here awaiting his
trial.-Gainesville Eegister, 9Th.
Arthur c. Blake, the party
referred to in the above, worked
in the tailoring establishment
of w. S. Duncan & Co., of this
city, and by his extreme anx-
iety and pretensions worked
his way into the good graces of
a number of our citizens, and
when he heard that the ladies
the Episcopal church were get
ting up an entertainment he
volunteered his services to as
sist, and took the Villains"
part in the play of 1.-The Conf
dental Clerk" rendered at
Kloski's opera house. He as
sumed management of the affair
and upon settlement after the
play, it was ascertained that he
had given out a large number
of complimentary Cd tickets.
One of the ladies handed him a
So bill to pay for printing,
which he failed to do. He also
borrowed from DIR. DAVIS $lj
and several other amounts from
different parties, and skipped
the town. Since his departure
il has been reported that he was
engaged in selling LIQUOR here
through another party, but OF
his we know nothing definite.
Other reports as to his immor-
ality has leaked out which il
true, he should be compelled tc
remain in durance vile the bal
ance Of his life.
