Worked the Old Lock Game.

E. s. White, we'll known Crawford
county farmer, started for Chicago
recently on business, on mis- way he was
compelled to lay over at st. Louis few
hours, and we clip the following from
last Saturdays Post Dispatch in re-
gard to his experience while in ST.
Louis:
E. s. White, from Van Buren, Ark.
reported to Capt. Kelly Friday that he
had been fleeced out of $45 by two con-
fidence men. Mr.. White is merchant
at Van Buren, and was on his way to
Chicago. He stopped to see st. Louis
sights.
1t was the same old story-the lock
game. White wanted to see the big
Eads bridge. He met two congenial
companions and they walked out on the
bridge approach. They were convers
ing pleasantly when one of his new
friends found small lock. They
all examined it. White opened it easily.
Then one of the other men tried to open
it. He couldn't. White said it was
easy. They argued about it and one
offered to bet White couldn t open it..
The lock was handed to him and he
tried, but failed to open it. Another
lock had been substituted. The police
don know who the lock men are.

Arkansas and particularly Van Buren
