SERIOUS PRACTICAL JOKE.
Prominent Young Albanian Arrest
ed on False Telegram.

eu on raise IeleSFdms
Chicago, Sept. 24.-Nathan w. Trimblc,
Jr, the son of highly respected and
wealthy parents of Birmingham, Ala, was
arrested at the Windsor Hotel this after
noon by detectives of the central station
on telegram received purportng to have
been sent by the chief of police of Biz
mingham, who denies that he sent the
message. The young man, it was stated
in the dispatch, was wanted for grand iar-
ceny.
Trimble is twenty-four years old. He
was in the rotunda of the hotel when the
officers accosted him and showed him the
telegram.
There is certainly some mistake here"
he said. Il have committed no crime and
l cannot understand the dispatch"
He submitted to arrest without further
argument and was taken to the central
stattJn and locked up. He volunteered to
so back home without the Formally Of
requisition paper and Chief Austin of Biz
minsham was so notified.
Capt Coleran's telegram came as sur
prise, however, to Chief Austin, according
TO a dispatch received from the Alabama
city late tonight. After getting it the
Birmingham official endeavored to ascer-
tain who had preferred such a charge
against young Trimble, but without result.
He claimed that he knew nothing about
the matter, no accusations having been
filed with him, and was of the
opinion that the telegram would prove
