Rev. George r. Parrish, who resided In

forgery. At that time he practiced Jaw
He only stayed here about a year, but
during that time he managed TO swindle
several people here. His practice then
was to borrow money, giving his note.
He came from the same town as did
Judge w. C. Little, and he, knowing him
and his people, who are eminently re-

Little that summer went east on a vaca-

some cards struck. declaring himself in
partnership with Judge Little. When he
returned he declared the self constituted

Parrish went in the very best society

SWEETEST social club of the city At last
he gave two Chattel mortgages on the
same stock and things got 50 warm for
him that he left, being assisted finan-

was county attorney. however. After
leaving here he probably did the only
hard work of his life. He worked for
short time on a section in Harper county.
The Kansas City Journal gives the fol-

correct, excepting that Parrish never was

walked up. called him Mr.. Bailey. The
old fellow was surprised, bat ne said that
ne had been talking with mis- wife and that
sne said they were going to Scott City.
He lived there and he AMI his vie -yere
going out on the same train He knew
his son well-his name was Nelson Bal
ley, and he was county treasurer of Scott
county. He had known linn ever since
ne had moved there several years ago.
The old gentleman was pleased to have
travelling companions, and more pleased
that they knew his SON. The crook said:
MY wife is over here a. a hotel You
come and go with me and I'll get her to
pack up and come over and stay with
got TO go 60 the express office and get
package which is there
"Al right said the old gentleman.
They went away and the fellow went TO
a place and pretended to go in. but he
went around the house. He came out and
told the old man that his wife was not
quite ready but ne had told her to go
over 70 the depot. He asked Mr.. Bailey
TO come and go with him 10 the express
office
On their return they went. or started 10
go by the depot. A fellow an accomplice,
stepped up and said: I've brought that
express package here for you and want
my money
Wow much is it?" asked the first crook
Seven dollars"
He then reached into hi. pocket and
pulled OUT what purported to be 800
draft.
can you change draft for s100?"
mo. / haven't that much money" said
the bogus express messenger.
MIR. Bailey, can you loan me 81 I'll
get this draft cashed and give II to you"
why. certainly" said Mr.. Bailey.
They sent him inside the depot and the
two crooks disappeared. The old gentle
man knew then that he had been heeced
and he started up town 20 find the officers
He found Park Massey and II wasn't
many minutes until Detectives Sutton and
Cairns were hot on the trail OF the con-
fidence men. They found them down on
East Douglas avenue and arrested them.
One is a cripple. They were taken to the
city prison where they gave the names of
Charles Rogers and Frank Deneen. They
gave the third man away as soon as they
found they were in trouble and the officers
went out and arrested him. He gave the
name Of Sam Wright.
In order that the old gentleman would
not prosecute them or stay here TO make
a state case against them, the three sent
an emissary to him with the ST. The en-
issary told him that the 81 which had
been borrowed by a friend he wished 10
pay back. He was busy or he would have
come himself. The old gentleman was
delighted. He said. when seen by an
Eagle reporter, You can say that they
have got the most honest thieves in this
town l ever saw. Why their conscious
hurt them so much that they gave me
back my money" He didn't know how
near he came to losing it. nor that ne was
given his 81 so that he would continue
his journey and not stop here and make
state case against them.
The three will be fined in police court
today and given hours to leave town.

Through His Rough Frame There Ham
 a Soulful Strain.
 He came into the hotel parlor with cut being asked. \ number of gentle men and ladies were engaged in con versation. He was evidently a guest and had a perfect right to the apart ment, but the fact that he was de trop did not affect him in the least He had disagreeab.e aud forbidding face and manner. His countenance bore the marks of dissipation and degradation; lis eyes were bleared. He was ugly, both in person and movement, and when he took chair the conversation ceased and there was an unpleasant constraint, as if an evil spirit were pres ent. The ugly man remained seated, with his head bowed down, drowning at space. Little by little the conversation began to revive, but attention never thoroughly left the ugly man. When he arose from his chair every eye glanced furtiyely in his direction. Without no- ticing anyone he walked nonchalantly to the piano and opened it. There was a deadhlike silence. Who asked for music? was the involuntary thought, but no one had the courage to speak to 1he intruder. He ran his fingers care lessly over the keys and his uglness dis appeared. From demon he was to be- come angel. He seemed to be playing to please his own fancy, wandering without effort from one theme to an- other. The listeners were charmed; tears came 10 the eyes of the ladies. The music was telling of life; of it's joys and sorrows; of deep woods with the sun in lacework on the ground and birds singing in the trees; of moonlight in the faraway. dreamy places; of rec ollections of departed friends, and the sadness of disappointment. How could such delicate, soaring spirit, moved to the mystical expression of harmony, be lodged in that coarse, degraded body? The ugly man. charming his listeners so that they were enraptured with him, was like Caliban. theyicious, destructive demon. who dreamed of the music on his island: The isle is full of noises, sounds and sweet airs that give delight and hurt not"

had the right sort O postmaster here we'd hey to suffer sieh insults as that? Salathiel Green is purity Food man as men go, but he ain't ftten to hold of fee. Instead of bein' out maxim speeches and holdin' Squan Creek up to the world he's playin' fox-and-geese with Abe Carter or killin the worms on his plumb-trees. I ain't wantin' office that I may swell around and boss any body, but it's as plain as the nose on yer face that sunthin' has got to be did or Squan Creek will dry up and blow away"
 And so it was with GO different men, and not one of 'em could git a single signer to his petishun. Sich as didn't want to change wouldn't sign, and sich as did wanted the office fur themselves. Things went on this way fur about week, and then a public meetin' was called. The 60 candi- Glates was all there. Moses Jackson started in to make q speech to boom hisself, but the other 59 rig up and howled. and q mint later everybody was fghtin'. Somebody locked the doors on 'em, and them candidates jest kicked and bit and scratched and pulled hair till the last one tired himself out and fell down. It was four weeks be- fore the last black eye was cured up and the last scratched nose healed, and some folks predicted that a tidal wave would surely oyerWheln Squan Creek. Nutbin' of the sort hap .pened, however. 1t jest cured GO men from wantin' 10 be postmaster, and two new barns and four new houses was built that very year. As the preacher said from the pulpit one Sunday:
 Let the heathen rage and the wicked rip and tear; it's good fur what ais 'em.''
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1898-02-06
"But the town don't want vel"

''But the town don't want ye!"
 And so they jawed and jawed and called names and almost had fight. That started everybody up, Before night there was GO petishuns goin' round. Cy Henderson, who couldn't skassly read a sign-board nor tell the time O day, goes round with his peti- shun and says:
 "I ain't a-dooin' this because l want office and hev folks pint me out as milyonaire. Pm a-dooin' it that Squan Creek may git up and hump herself and git to be as big as Atlantic City. l can't do nothin' to help the town while I'm tongin' fur oysters, but as post master I'll make things hum or break d leg"
 Pump Tompkins, who had never been to school day in his life, and who wore one blue shirt the year round, had a petishun, and he went all around sayin':
 "It ain't style and rich cloze banker arter, but 1 want to see Squan Creek put in the weather reports, same as New York and Philadelphia. She ain't never menshuned now no more'n as if we didn't hey no weather. 1 ain't say in that Salathiel Green ain't q good man, but he ain't got the good O this town at heart. He jest lets things drift right along, instead of takin' off his coat and kickin' up the mud"
 Dan Boonshaw, who had never done anythin' great except to chaw terback. CT and lie about sharks, had petishun and fur three days he went around say in to everybody:
 q had to go up 10 New York last I said I was from Squan Creek nobody up thar had ever heard of the town. One fellow actually asked meif it was ur in the Catskilisl Dye 'spose if we

could ever hold his head up arter that. Tobias, we've got to do suthin', and we've got to do it right away"
 Lord save us, but ] think we have!" answered Tobias.
 There is a man in this town who kin make burnin' speech of welcome" ," says Moses as he stiffens up. "EIe is man who has cooper shop and three houses to rent. He was tax collector fur ten long years. He has bin down to Philadelphia and up to New York, and he ain't no hayseed. His wife also knows how 10 cook dinner. It's that man who should be postmaster of Squan Creek, and here's a petition 1 want ye to sign to help bring it about. I'm the man, Tobias Brown, and ye kin sign yer name right there!"
 Tobias put down his name and Moses thanked him and walked off, but he hadn't gone hundred rods when he meets Philetus Langden, and Philetus pushes him up agin a shade tree and says:
 "Looll-a-here, Moses Jackson, but do you know what's keepin' Squan Creek in the quagmire of despondency, when Brigaptine and Barnagat ar soarin' on the wings of prosperity ?"
 "Mebbe we've got too many 'skeeters around here, replied Moses as he looks away over the marshes.
 .sIe haint 'skeeters nor bul1-frogs nor chills," continues Philetus nor it hain't that we don't ship more crabs than Newport or Red Bank. It's jest because of our postmaster. Does any body ever hear of hiIn9 Has he ever delivered a Fourth of July orashun? Do ye ever see him cut to funerals? :? Does he take the lead when we hey q Sunday skule picnic? Never-never! Moses, we've got to hist him out Q that and hist q good man into his place. I'm diggin' 200 post holes and grubbin' out 48 stumps this summer. but I'm willin' to sacrifice myself and take the position. Here's petishun, and I'll ax ye 10 put yer name down at the head
 q never will do it"' says Moses.
 "Mebbe ye wa- tit yerself?"
 "Mebbe I do. That is, I'm willin' to take it fur the benefit of the towns
