A SWINDLER IN THE TOLLS.
C. N. Fagen-Bush, of Denver, Forger
and Confidence Man, Arrested
in New York.

New York, June &C. N. Fagen-Bush, a
Denver real estate broker, was to-day ar
raigned in Jefferson Market court and re-
manded to police headquarters. He is
charged with forgery. and the amount
mentioned is 5000. Fagen-Bush was ar
rested last night by Central office detec-
tives. and Assistant District Attorney
Lloyd refused to talk about it. war
rant had been secured for Fagen-Bush's
arrest by c. A. Paterson, a private detec-
tive, who for months had been searching
for him. The fugitive was traced to this
city by w. II. OBrien. chief of Denver po-
lice, who sent the indictment against him
here with the request that an arrest be
that Fagen-Bush employed three women
typewriters, all Of whom We're busy at
their machines when the detectives ap-
peared at his office.
These typewriters were writing letters ad-
dressed to hotel clerks in various places
over the country, and these letters were of
such a nature as to arouse the suspicious of
the police. 1t was then decided to search
the prisoners room, and there the detect
ives found lot of printed ard other matter
which led them to believe they had nipped
in the bud a skillful scheme for Wholesale
swindling. On the letter heads of a myth
cal concern called the Chirm-Merk Chemi-
cal Manufacturing Company the following
note was written to various hotel clerks:
II will be with you in a short time. Hold
my mail and kilograms. l have instructed
Messrs. Benedict q Riddle. jewelers., to for
ward my watch care of your house. Should
same come 10 HdHu btIOTe my arrival,
please receipt for it and oblige."
This letter was apparently to be followed
by postal card addressed by the subscrib-
er. in order to thus further inspire the con-
fdence of the hotel people, with this in
scription:
Stay there until we arrive. Harry is
coming with us. c."
Having thus secured the absolute conf
dence Of the hotel keepers, the police think
il would not be strange If the latter should
pay $50 TO the express company present.

referred to in the first communication
About 200 boxes newly wrapped and ad-
dressed to the person to whom the postal
card was addressed. and corresponding
with the signature attached to the letters
TO the clerks, were found. These boxes
were opened. and found TO contain a toy
watch. worth a fraction of a cent One
or two genuine watches of the chaapest
kind were also found. Accompanying the
package was to be, ii is supposed by the
police. a bill for the amount of $3.50 C. o.
d. made out on the billhead OF the bogus
jewelry firm of Benedick & Riddle. Ac-
cording to Detective-Sergeant McAuley the
purpose of the scheme was TO get the clerk
at the hotel to pay $3.50 for the package
TO accommodate a guest already announced
as about to arrive.
This money would be collected by the |
express company handling IL and would |
then be remitted TO the alleged firm of |

NOW IS THE TIME TO DIE.
IL Costs Only TyyO-thirds of the Prices
That Have Hitherto Prevailed
Market-Not Active.

Now is the time to die. The cost of q
funeral in Kansas City is less than it ever
was before.
a bear appeared yesterday morning I'm
the local funeral market and quoted a re-
ductlon of 30 per cent in the cost of funer-
ais The market opened with prices un-
changed from the old standard. and the
demand was not increased by reason of
the later reduction. The bulls were in
active in meeting the reduction, but there
was weak undertone to the market and
a general crash in the selling prices may
occur.
The sudden death of the big coffin and
casket trust is given as the cause for the
reduction. At any tate one undertaking
company yesterday announced that It
would furnish funerals at two-thirds of
the former prices. This is the same COM
pany which Tuesday received the contract
for burying the city's pauper dead, fur
nishing a neat coffin, shroud. transporta-
tiOE and grave for the remarkable price
Of 10 cents pauper.
With one or two exceptions, however
all the other undertakers in the city de-
clared last night that they would not meet
the reduced rates.
