such treatment by shooting into the

doing so they ran the risk Of killing

A STICK WITH A STORY.

The odd Office Which 1t Performed
In n Gambling Den.
There's an odd little story connect
ed with this old cane" said a New
Orleans sporting man the other day.
"You will observe how heavy ii is and
how the feriule comes down 10 sharp
point 1t used tc be carried by an old
chap who was well known character
here back in the seventies. He had an
interest in Il very crooked gambling
house | won't hurt anybody's feel
ings by mentioning the exact location,
but il was u saying that you might as
well slide your money under the door
and walk off. 1t saved time.
This old fellow I'm speaking Of
was apparently IA mere spectator. His
business was To dispose of what were
known technically as knockers A
knocker was anybody who attempted
10 put victim on his guard. usually a
well meaning but officious friend. For
example, visitor would he playing at
one of the games and his friend look
ing on, would smell a rat. As rule
he would feel it his duty to say some
thing. and such suggestions We're nat
urally resented by the house.
when the old man would see Il
knocker about to knock he would
hobble up, leaning heavily on his cane,
and plant the ferrule. as if by acci-
dent, squarely on the offenders foot.
Such a prod would cause the victim
excruciating agony. and he would i'm
mediately lose all interest in exposing
fraud. While he was writhing and
groaning the old fellow would over
whelm him with apologies and insist
upon his coming into the back room
to get a drink. Meantime the other
chap would be losing his money as fast
as he could get it out.
There's no telling how much

of securing. Its original owner has

Sixth artillery, moved westerly from
Jaro to connect with General Hughes.
Colonel Carpenter was forced to re-
turn to Jaro on account OF the roads,
aud the entire movement was hampered
by lack OF proper transportation. Com

The Badly Embarrassed Youth Caught
Something at Each Dive.
A modes. Cleveland youth, an Adel-
bert undergraduate, boarded south side
car a few evenings ago, and when he
seated himself carelessiy dropped his
small gripsack on the floor behind his
feet. Presently the car began to fill up.
Most of the new passengers were girls,
and as they came i'll one by one the
Adelbert man crowded along little and
so got away from his gripsack. There
were at least half a dozen girls at his
left, and it was in that direction that
his grip was located.
Pretty soon the car neared his stop
ping place. and the Adelbert man be-
thought himself of his baggage. He put
his hand to the fioor-it wasn't there
that is, the grip wasn't there. He felt
little way to the left; he couldn't
reach it.
Then he Strengthened up.

what infiamed countenance, "but have

dove down again.
All he could feel was dainty boot
heels, two of them badly. run down. He
reached little farther. Another boot

easily.
Up came the young man again.
His countenanoe was still more in-
famed. This time he arose to his feet.
Its here somewhere, he murmur-
ed. eff you don't object, I'll Try

along still farther to the left.
"Ive got it," be muttered.
He pulled, but it didn't come.

"No. it isn't piped shrill soprano
There was brief struggle, and then
the bashful youth realized that he had
hold of the young woman's foot.

being fugitive from justice
The prisoner will be kept in Jail until
the arrival of the Boston detective. He
will be taken to Woonsocket, r. l.. the
scene OF one of his alleged swindles.
Mrs. Stewart visited her husband at the
central police station.
The prisoner maintains that he is not
a member of the gang of swindlers
rounded up in New York. and claims to
be New York business man. The de-
tectives, however. have no doubt that
they have the right man.
The alleged members of the gang also
have police records. The bogus draft
scheme, from which the Tradesmen' 9
National bank OF this city escaped ow-
ing 20 warning given by the Pittsburg
detectives, has been fayorite plan of
operation.
Alonzo j. Whiteman, credited with
being the leader of the gang. is accused
of swindling hotels in many cities. He
was graduated at the head of his class
from the Columbia Law school, New

on the Chicago board OF trade within
year. He then turned to the race track.
He made money as a bookmaker, met a
bad streak OF luck. ''welched and was
ruled off the track for passing bad
checks. He was sentenced to serve nine
months for forgery in San Francisco In
1895, but appealed, got reversal and
was released.
Subsequently he was arrested for
swindnng the Columbia bank, of New
York, out of $3.50. He got out of it and
has successfully evaded prison walls
ever since then, although arrested sew
eral times on various charges.
Chief of Detectives McClusky, of New
York, says that Whiteman is wanted in
Chicago. where he was tried a year ago
for grand larceny and sentenced to serve
two years and six months, he having
jumped his bail when he learned that
the illinois court of appeals had affirmed
his sentence. He will be trrned over to
the Chicago police. who are believed to
be on their way to New York.
Frank Edmonds will probably be sent
to Wocnsoc2et, r. l., where Stewart is
also wanted on the charge of swindling
o bank out of $1,000.
Robert J. Knox, who is believed To
have been the man who conducted op-
erations in Pittsburg. will probably be
brought here. Requisition papers were
forwarded to Harrisburg.

ling the Central Trust company of

While they were playing large tarpon
a shark came up and bit half moon
weighing about ten pounds out of the
tarpon's belly. This killed the tarpon,
but before it could be gaffed and pull
ed in the shark took out another half
moon size larger. AS they were
hauling the tarpon aboard the shark
bit off the tail, equaling one-third the
length and about one-fourth the weight
of the fish. The part that was left over
weighed 164 pounds. They beat the
shark over the head with the oars.
The fish would have been record
breaker and would have weighed about
900 pounds. The scales were preserv-
ed ard measured 49, by AZ inches.
