TRlGG IN TROUBLE AGAIN.

A very bad counterfeiter was arrested
today by one of our town officers and
lodged in Jail. He is one VIM. Trigg
Moore, and white man. Trigg is great
sport. His father left him a considerable
amount of property about four years ago,
but he has run through withit and created
all the debts he could. Now he tries to
mould his own money to carry on his
racket in this locality. He tried to pass
his spurious money on Hungarian.
When arrested he had 400 of the "qneer'
in his pocket and had passed some all
around in town. Trigg was at Tazewell
this week with his free silver and the peo-
pie up there had better look out. He
seems to think that free silver carried in
the election last year and that he had a
right to coin all he can make use Of
Trigg says there are four more persons i'm
plicated with him. They had better wait
until we get free coinage of silver before
they commence to stamp it for uncle Sam.
Rain here today and we are glad to get
it.

FUTURE OF THE CASINO.
A Chnuco That the Theatre May Pass into tho
Hands or New Owners.


II It should come about in the midst of tho
confusing tangle of litigation that surrounds
the Casino property that the sale which has
been ordered for Thursday take place, then
there is very good chance that the purchasers
will be H. 7. Cutter, President of Hegeman &
Co.. and John II. Flagler OF the Standard Oil
Company. There is good deal OF doubt about
the situation, for although the sale has been
ordered, an injunction to prevent it has been ap-
piled for, and Justice Beach OF the Supreme
Court has the motion still under adviscment.
There is also an uncertainty. even in case tho
sale occurs, as TO just what 1t will carry with it.

rights which the Casino Company and the bond
holders hold in the property. II will be contended
that this Is little or nothing. because the Bixby

Alarm Man who Smashed Gili'n window.

Alarm Mnn " no snnnnneu Gttl'n WINDOW.
For several months wholesale merchants doing
business in Mercer Blocker, Broome. and Ca
nal streets have been much annoyed by what
seems to be systematic breaking OF windows.
Scarcely morning passes that some merchant
does not find window broken. a big stone or
some heavy object having been thrown through
it in the night. When asked about the matter,
the police intimated that the patrolmen of a
burglar agency were responsible, and suggested
that such things frequently induced business
men to become members of an agency, and that
the patrolmen were well paid for all new Gus
toners they brought in. The agency men only
laughed when they heard the accusation, and
said il had been prompted by jcalousy-that tho
police were surly because q great many mer-
chants did not find the regular police patrol sut-
ficient protection. All this caused considerable
feeling between the men Of the two organiza-
tions, particularly in the dry goods district
covered by the Macdougal and Mercer street
stations.

No, didn't see him do anything. but he was

"You may consider that good evidence, but I

charged Buck without waiting for a complaint
to be drawn.
Buck said he over block away when he
heard the crash, and il was over minute after
he reached the broken window before King came.
AS he left court Buck said he proposed that the
Police Commissioners should examine into tho
affair.
