WORKED A SLICK GAME.
But Events Proved That lie Was Not
as Slick ms lie Thought.

William Eppstein, a young pack
peddler of this city, got into serious
trouble in Olyphant yesterday through
attempting a fake game on a resident
of Hungarian Flats, named Demela
Kayak.
Eppstein wentsto Kayaks house and
exhibiting a telegram announcing the
death of his father in Buffalo, fearful
ly besought Kayak to assist him in
getting there. Kayak did not know
him, but upon Eppstein producing a
watch and offering to leave it as secur-
ity, he agreed to let the sorrowful
youth have 500 to help him on his sad
journey.
When Eppstein had departed Kayak
examined the watch and found it to
be worthless. Fastening down town
he discovered Eppstein in a saloon and
had him arrested. Justice of the Peace
Cummings held him in $500 bail to
answer the charge of obtaining money
under false pretenses. George Spitz
became his bondsman. Kayaks indig-
nation led him to have Eppstein also
arrested for peddlng without a license.
Squire McNally fined him $4.25, which
he paid.
