kLoNDIKE MINER ROBBED.
$500 OF His 9e1. 900 stoien-He Eails to Proa
ecute the Alleged Thieves.

A man and a woman describing themselves as
William and Ida Crumley of Second avenue
were arraigned in Jefferson Market Police Court
yesterday on e charge of being implicated in
the theft of about $500 worth Of Klondike gold
nuggets from Charles Raymond, a mining ong!-
neer. Raymond did not appear against them
and the pair were discharged.
Raymond reported to the Detective Bureau q
few days ago that he had lost his gold in a Ten
derloin hotel on Thursday night of last week.
He returned with his wife and child and $751;
900 worth OF gold dust from the Northwest Ter
ritory about six weeks ago. As he had no set
tied home, he sent his wife and child to visit
Sixth avenue for a few weeks stay here. He said
that he met the woman, who was arrested under
the name OF Ida Williamson. and thinks that she
drugged him.. He had about sixty gold nuggets
in u buckskin bag. which he carried with him.
They were worth from So to $40 each. About
forty of the Jumps were missing as we'll as all of
his loose cash. about $40. He says he met the
return the nuggets for $3.50. This the woman
denied when arrested, but admitted Offering to
help Raymond recover them for that sum.
The two were arrested by Detectives Boyle
and Charlton OF the Central Office on Thursday,
and word was sent to Raymond to appear in
court yesterday. A messenger sent TO his adj
dress returned with the news that Raymond
had left the ciiy.
The police are inclined to believe Raymond's
tales OF success and misfortune. and think that
he preferred TO lose his gold rather than APP
pear in a police court. Crumley Is said TO bo
well known on Broadway, having formerly be-
lonGed to Primrose s. Vests Ministries.

Ahmed Khulil and his five Syrian COM

Mahomet is. his prophet will go back to tho
land of their birth. but it will not be because
of their faith in the Koran. The Board Of

from beneath the feet of Ali Chcfk Bey, the
