A faltIr of the smooth tongue variety,
struck our city Saturday. and had It
not been for our efficient police II might
have been to his sorrow. He had been
selling rings and cuff buttons for TWEEN
ty-flve cents each and not only giving

Ing to observe the former rule OF doub-
ling the money eagerly bit on the old
time game. He collected about $50 and
then skipped out. The crowd Of about
$50 became angry and started after him

ware store where he at once called for
police. Officer Bailey arrived and es-
cOried the gentleman to the city build
ing. followed by the angry crowd. The
fakir was released, having previously
paid his license and not being able to
find any charge upon which he might
be held, as he had not stated to the Hu-
dienCe that he was going to double
their money or even give II back. Had
Il not been for the prOmptness OF the
officer he might have been handled by
the angered crowd In a very rough
manner.
