NEW CONFIDENCE GAME.
Capitalist, Friend and Bogus Saloon
keeper II the Cast.

Fred E. Stanley, commercial
traveller from Lynn, Mass, was stop
ped by stranger yesterday morning
at Twelfth street and Sixth avenue.
The stranger, who introduced himself
under the name of Breed, knew Stan
ly's name and business and referred to
several well-known business men in
Lynn in manner which seemed to
indicate that he was well acquainted
with them. The reason for speaking
to Stanley, he said. was that he had
planned to establish a wool mill at
Lynn and wanted the travellers advice.
He had a number of samples in a
place near by of stuffs that he wanted
to manufacture. The two men
walked up to Twenty-fourth street and
Sixth avenue, where they entered a
saloon at the request of the stranger.
The latter ordered drinks and then
asked the bartender for a package,
which was found to contain samples of
woolens. While Stanley and Breed
were looking over these they were
Joined by third man, apparently a
friend of Breed. The newcomer or
dered drinks at once and flashed a big
roll of bills in paying for them.
BE CAREFUL" urged Breed.
Rats" rejoined the newcomer.
Your warning might have been good
for something If it had come a few
days earlier. My innocence cost me
$500 the other day, but know the lit
tie trick now and won't be caught
again. It's cute, though, and I'll show
it to you"
He asked for a deck of cards, but
had hardly begun to lay them out
when Breed broke into laughter.
"Oh, Stanley" he cried, look at
him! Amt he soft. l learned that
game in the CRADLE"
You are talking through your hat, I"
retortsd the newcomer. "and I'll back
up what | say" He then placed a
large roll of bills on one of the cards
saying: I'm risk that hundred against
$685."
Put s35 on that card, Stanley, and
catch him in his own trap" exclaimed
Breed. Stanley had hardly obeyed
when a fourth man rushed into the
side room where they were sitting.
You are gambling" he said, taking
hold of Stanley by the collar. II am
the proprietor of this place and pay
$500 for license, which sum don't pro-
pose to throw away for loafers like
you. You get out of here"
Breed and his confederate grabbed
their own and SANKEY'S rolls of bills
and rushed out The alleged proprie-
tor made no attempt to stop them,
but held on to Stanley for a minute at
least. When the latter finally reached
the street the other two men had dis
appeared.
He reported the case to the police
of the West Thirtieth street station,
and last night Detectives Sheehan and
Lockwood caught the alleged proprie-
tor in the same saloon. He was at
once identified as John Smythe. alias
Ryan, a notorious confidence man.
The real proprietor of the place denied
all knowledge of the man or of what
had happened in his saloon in the
morning. No trace could be found Of
Breed and the other confederate.
A check for SIS. drawn by Henry
Clews 4 Co. on the Columbia Bank
to the order Of Al Thompson, was
found in the possession of Smythe
when he was searched. The check was
dated Dec. IL. Smythe refused to say
how he got it.-New York sun.

The door of the coupe swung back
A spruce young fellow handed out a
gayly-gowned figure. The folds of
her pastel gown-a dull, enhancing
blue-trailed after her as she came up
the steps. Her chiffon hat curved over
sparkling face. The rosy tint of her
fresh cheeks glowed through her veil
like peach in net-covered basket.
"Mr. Gregory! Mr.. Hazleton! Why,
what surprised"
A trihe bewiIdered, the men barred
their heads and clasped the little
gloved hand so cordially extended.
How Is it we meet you here?" she
ratified on. George engaged this house

"Eh, George?"
She looked up at her husband with
mischievious eyes.
You are always right, dear. The
agent on La Sale street was not sure
but that the place might be rented by
other parties before we got out. Come,
Lowell"
He produced a key from which a
paper tag dangled. Seeing the door
open, he put 1t back IN his pocket.
His pretty wife had reached the top
most step and was looking down upon
the waiting vans and the impatient
drivers.
ITO whom do all these things be-
long, Georgie?"

And then go and dine at the club

They were gazing after the departing

silvery peal of laughter. The men
looked at each other.

Hazleton.

Guided Gregory.
There was a rustic of sllk-lined

feet clattered down the steps. Two
manly forms strobe off side by side.

Navosata, Tex, Nov. 10.-The trou-
BILE which has caused so much excite
mcnt at Anderson, Grimes county, is
at an end. 1t had its origin here when
Sheriff Garret Scott was held respon-
sible by the White Mems Union for
alleged misconduct OF affairs At the
recent election Scott was defeated, and
later was warned to leave the county
Which he refused to do. Late Wednes-
day afternoon the sheriff was shot and
seriously wounded by an unknown per-
SON. Emmett Scott. his brother and
William Mcdonald engaged in a street
ouel. When the smoke of battle cleared
away both men were dead, as was also
John Bradley, III. The entire town of
Anderson was excited over the affair
and Sheriff Scott took possession OF
the Jail, which he has since held by
force. Adjutant- Scurry ar
rived at the scene of the trouble to-
day. The Houston Light Guards were
ordered to Anderson, and it is expected
they will arrive there tonight. Sheriff
Scott has consented to leave the coun-
ty. and the military company will es-
cort him to Houston. 1t is said that
several attempts had been made to dy-
Mantle the Jail, but the attempts We're
abandoned at the advice of leading cit
liens. Many shots We're exchanged
last night, but, so far as is known, no
one was injured.

too high for the gallantry these troops

In the afternoon an event unprece-
denied in this war occurred, when
some 2oo Beers suddenly charged the

when they were stopped by the Cana

teen of the Canadians fell into the
hands of the enemy, who treated them
kindly and released them after re-

during which operation the Canadians
were compelled to lie down on their
