An artistic case OF hunko was reported At
by j. c. Roberts. who gave the pclice TO
understand that he Is in the hs.nber bus
mess az Sultan, where he has q family.
Two well dressed and honest appearing
bunko men and a bogus check for 81. 100
drawn on the Puget Sound National bank
by the ID. B. Wood Company" in favor
OF u. B. Thomas figure prominently in
the case. and $40 is the amount kind
hearted Mr. Roberts is out for doing a
favor for stranger in apparent distress.
Roberts was down at the Great North
ern depot at about O'clock yesterday af-
ternoon, waiting or train 20 take him
home TO his family, in which he had Just
been informed OF serious illness. While
he stood in the waiting room he was ap-
preached by a dark-co,nplexioned. good
looking young man, wei dressed in 4
brown suit and wearing a brown mus
tache and black derby hat. The young
man, with fine show Of agitation. told
Roberts thar .is was a stranger frcm the
East, and had large amount Of freight
in the warehouse of the Adams Express
Company. which he was not able to take
bank holiday. He showed Roberts the
fake check and said he would be glad 10
get his freight out Al once.
Roberts heart was touched and his
purse strings loosened. He gave the nice
young man a fat wad of bills and some
good, hard money. and the two went up
10 see the express agent"
Coming down the steps 1T the front en-
trance Of the Boston block they met fine
4 al
shaver, and wearing a clerica,-looiins
coat.
Hello" said Roberts nesw found friend.
accosting the stranger. amt you the ex-
press agent9 1 was just coming up 10 see
you about my goods. l want 10 get them"
Well, you know. it's Sunday. but then
/ guess it's all r.gat. Pay me your money
and III give you an order for your
freight" responded the stranger, with that
cold. indifferent air express agents wear
when on duty.
The money WAS paid over to the clerical
looking stranger. who went back 10 his
Office upstairs" to put the check In the
safe.
Roberts never saw him again, and on the
way to the freight office the nice young
man also gave him the shake.
Roberts reported the case 10 Sergt. Ward
and Police Clerk Kennedy. who helped
him to locate the Boston block and took Il
note of his complaint. They could not.
however, give him much hope OF recover
ing his property. for Roberts insisted on
going home on the afternoon train. and
would not stay to help the police ferret
out the bunko men.
Il suppose the moneys gone he re-
marked cheerfuily 10 Clerk Kennedy" and
l am n fool for being SO darn easy.
but I'd like 30 see those fellows caught
to save some other fellow from being roped
in. II you catch EN-. let me know, and
I'll come down and identify 'en. Good
bye and the man frern Sultan hurried
off to catch his train.
From his philosophical air. the police
think Roberts can afford 10 lose the money.
There is, OF course. no express office in
the Boston block, and the check is palpa-
bly, a fraud. The body of the check, the
Signature and the Endorsement are all in
the same handwriting

FIFTY CENTS REWARD
DEMANDED FOR A BABY,
How Omcer Tucker II Called On to
Play SolomOn's Part In Set
Ting q Dispute.

A lost baby and the attempt OF the
finder OF the child to assert a lien on it
for so cents charges broke the Sunday
quiet at police headquarters yesterday,
and gave Sergt. Ward an unhappy half
hour. Mrs George Snyder. who lives at
the Hartley hotel. on Second avenue. near
Spring street. is the mother Of the baby,
and woman who keeps a fruit stand at
No. go First avenue south-the police say
her name is Mrs. u. Friedlander-was the
lien claimant.
II seems that on Saturday evening the
baby in its carriage was left out en- the
street in front OF the hotel Mrs. Snyder
says the hotel keeper put il out because
1t cried. but the police take the statement
with salt. Two young girls who knew the
chtid happened along, and with the best
OF intentions trundled the baby buggy and
its fretting occupant down to the fruit
stand and turned It over to the propri-
etress, who, IL appears. at one time kept
the child for its mother.
Mrs. snyder was crazy when she found
the baby gone. She advertised in the
papers and notified the police. Yesterday
she found the baby, but she coald not get
1t without paying 20 cents jrnpounding
fees. She came TO police HEADQUARTERS
anu " d3o oIlsISF uOWTf
TO act as a second Solomon In settling the
ownership of the infant.
Officer Tucker is discreet He didn't
want either woman to think him 'hcrrid' -
and. as the fruit stand woman claims. told
the woman that the police department
would pay the 50 cents. and the baby was
restored TO Its mother
When the fruit stand woman called later
for the money, Sergt. Ward was compell-
ed TO inform her that the department
wasn't paying such bills. and then there
was lamentation galore. The police Megs
glad when il was over.
