BIG BrlLs SCHEME.
How He Made a Fortune With HIS
Own Board of Trade.

Own Board of Trade.
CAS- a rule" said detective at New
York headquarters; crooked people
never save their money. / don't care
how wise or smart they are, they gen.
orally get rid of it faster than they
get II. But what l was going to tell
YOU about was one of the gang that
had more brains than any Of the hand
shakers l ever knew. l am not going
to tell you what his name is, and ne
is on the level now, lives nicely with
his family and stands well with the
business community. So, for story
telling purposes, will tell you about
Big Bill and the fortune he made.
Big Bill when lad served the ladies'
with soda water in drug store in this
city. He was a good-looking lad and
was favorite with every one. Among
the patrons of the drug store was
well-known confidence man, who took
a fancy to the white-haired lad be-
hind the soda water fountain. Inc
boy and the con man became fast
friends, and one day the boy failed to
report for duty. He was not at home
and no trace of him could be found.
Three years later l ran across him in
New York, and he was the clerk in
green goods store and the gang told
me he was the greatest kid in his line
that they had ever seen. But he was
only getting very small part of the
coin that was being taken off, and
one day he declared that he was going
out for himself. He quit the job and
l did MT hear from him for several
years. BY this time he was a giant in
build and looked to be 80. He was
now the brains of a confidence gang,
and although those connected with
him were years older in experience,
what he said was law. The gang oper-
ated through the south and west, and
were is no way identified with any of
the Red Austins, Tom O'Brien and
Lou Ludlums, whose names are IA
miliar to the public. Consequently,
they had very little trouble with the
law.
"The gang made plenty of money.
But it was the same old story-wine,
woman and song-eXcept as far as
Big Bill was concerned. While he
had good time and held up his end,
yet he was not drunken sailor with
his money. All the time the gang was
atwork Big Bilpwas looking for some
bushes to get into While in a small
town in Colorado he dropped into a
| bucket shop and at once became in
terested in the workings. The oper-
ator explained the operations and told
| him how all quotations were sent from
the Board Of Trade in Chicago. Big
! Bill at once grasped the situation, and
decided upon a scheme of his own.

London, July 28.-The hopes of Europe
for the safety of at least some of the
member of the legations at Pekin, which
earlier in the week had commenced to re-
viye are now nickering and at the point
of extinguishment. 1t has been pointed
out here that there has been ample time
to get authentic messages signed and
dated by the Minister'S. This is the only
confirmation of Chinese assurances that
will be acceptable. Until such advices
have been received or until the Ministers
lave been handed over in the flesh the
general public and the governments in
terested will not attach any credence to
further Chinese statements, or consent to
stay preparations for the advance Of the
relief force towards Pekin. The latest
story, originating in other than Chinese
sources, is q special dispatch from Che
Foo dated July 9th, according to which
Missionary Wilder, who started for Pekin
a fortnight ago has just returned and
reports that he found the Imperial Chi
nese forces completely surrounding the
Tartar City. He was unable to deliver a
message to the legation, and in reply to
his entreaties the Chinese said they could
not allow anyone to pass to the foreigners.
According to reports the attack on the
legations ceased on the afternoon of July
18th. Everything was quiet during the
remainder Of Missionary Wilde's stay.
When he left, on July 18th, a decree had
been issued, commanding all persons to
protect the foreigners in China.
Returning he saw no troops for sixty
miles south Of Pskin, but he learned that
