AGED TRAVELLER BUNKOED.
CONFIDENCE OPERATORS TURN A
BOLD TRICK ON UNION AVENUE.
j, l.. Callahan Falls Into the Clutches
Of . Pair Of Sharks, Who Rob
Him on the Counterfeit
Money Game.

The confidence operator found him stand
ing in front of Union avenue saloon
bright and early yesterday morning, his
hands buried deep in his trousers pockets
and a look of bewilderment on his aged,
kindly, innocent old face. He was 50 years
old, but the wiles and guiles of this world
were a mystery to him-he had read In
the newspapers of bunko steerers. conf
dence sharpers. flimflammers and such ilk,
but it had never occurred to him that he
was the personifcation of "easy money"
for the sure-thing operators.
And SO when a patriarchal individual
with snowy beard paused and greeted
him in a I-have-foundt my-lost-brother-at-
last tone he blandly smiled, extended his
homely, wrinkled hand and said:
why, how dew you do?"
And he wasn't long in telling his new
found acquaintance that his name was j.
L. Callahan, of st. Petersburg, Fla, b'gosh,
and that with his son and his sons wife
he was on his way to Spokane. Wash. He'd
never travelled much, he said, and he felt
kind of lonesome, for the memories of the
scenes around his Florida home kept surg
ing through his mind, and he longed to
turn back.
The confidence operator played his game
warily and when feeling of fellowship
had been established. invited him into the
saloon to take drink.

They clinked their glasses over the bar
and drank to each others good health.

This just suited Callahan and he was

for him. or some other victim.
At Union avenue and Hickory street.
Callahan and his friend were met by a
well dressed young man who stopped them
and said he was United States marshal.
"You look like two counterfeiters that

officer.

A BRAND NEW PENNY.
All That Is Left of q Bright Dream
of Revenge and Re-

John Quinn. q former tenant of Council
man John P. Lynch, has u bright new
penny which he treasures very highly, for
it represents the shattered remnants Of a
bright dream of revenge and reparation.
Some months ago Quinn got behind in his
rent. His landlord claimed that he (Quinn)
eluded his efforts to talk the matter over
and at last the landlord took heroic mea-
sures to bring about a meeting. He locked
the door and Quinn and his family had
to stand out in the cold for some time be-
fore an entrance was effected. Then when
the family got in they could not get out
again. for the door was locked once more.
Quinn brought suit for damage, claiming
his child was made sick by the exposure to
which it was subjected. Lynch in his answer
to the suit rendered so to the aggrieved
tenant, but the latter wanted $500. At the
trial the jury. evidently thinking the coun-
Gilman should at least pay the costs in
the case. and that a verdict for l cent
would saddle the costs onto the defendant,
returned a verdict for cent. If Lynch had
not made a tender of so. this verdict would
have fixed the costs upon him. but under
the law, the defendant did not have to
pay the costs if the verdict was less than
the tender made.
The other day Mr.. Lynch gave Mr.. Quinn
a brand new penny and discharged his OBJ
legation in full. The county pays the
costs.
