! Quite a scene was created at Ransom
! & Burg's saloon last night by b. w.
/ Meigs, the carpet cleaner and chimney
/ sweep. He entered the house with a
woe begone expression on his counte-
/ nance and proceeded to the back room,
where he stretched himself down upon
! the orchestra platform. He then set up
a series of cries and groans which put
the orchestra to ignominious flight ana
brought around him a crowd of sympa-
| thizers, anxious to learn what the
| trouble was with him. He chained to
be in a paroxsym of pain, and from his
/ actions IL was presumed by people eN-
perienced with morphine users that
Meigs was a "fend" and was suffering
because forced by lack Of the necessary
I cash to forego the daily dose OF the
drug. He denied. though that ne was
1 a "fiend." Mr. Ransom secured room
for him at the Merchants hotel and
had him removed thence. where DR..
Shawk attended him and gave him a
hypodermic injection of morphine,
which Meigs said resulted in great
alienation of the pain. II Is the gem
/ eraI impression that the fellow was
/ making a grand stand play for sympa-
thy and aid, TO the end that he might
thus impose upon the credulity OF
someone who would provide lodging
for him and also morphine to satisfy
his craving for the stun.
