HE WAS GIVEN WATER.
A Mean Trick Played Upon a Clever
Tramp.

The bartender at Jones hotel, at the
corner of Spruce street and Penn ave-
nue.. played Il mean trick last night on
a middle-aGed tramp who has been
working the central city saloonkeepers
for drinks by Il clever trick during
the last few days.
His mod,is operandi consisted in go
ing into a bar-room and suddenly fall
ing helpless on the floor utterinS we'll
feigned means OF pain. Someone, OF
course. with a sympathetic nature,
could always be relied upon to sus-
eest that the unfortunate be given a
drink of Whiskey to revive him. The
suggestion was generally acted upon
by the bartender and in an astonish-
insIy brief space OF time the poor un-
fortunate would be fully recovered
again.
lie made the rounds of Il number Of
saloons working this game, and Sc
curing free drinks. The news spread
and when the bartender at Jones saw
an unkempt individual lying on the
doorstep last night in an apparently
unconscious condition, he went inside
for u drink
The gentleman reclnging on the
doorstep winked his other eye and
chuckled inwardly. but resumed his
semblance OF Inconsistencies when lie
heard the bartender returning. The
latter had the drink, but it was pure
water and not good rye whiskey. lie
forced the unconscious mans lips open
and forced the water down.
The aforesaid unconscious man re-
viyed in an instant and after spttin:
the water out threatened to lick
everybody in the place. Constable Tim
Jones, who was in the saloon, tried
to put him out, but was unable to do
so alone, and was forced to call "a
trolman Quinnan to his assistance. Be
tween them both, he was lodged in the
Centre street station, bur not until AT
ter a fierce struggle.

 Dan Tucker, a well known and wei respected farmer from Cleveland county, in mysterious manner, lost S3a last evening about ' o'clock. FHeker claims that he was dopod in Mt. Johnnie Wells place of business on Main street. and that while nn- conscious some one relieved him of the money.
 As related by Tucker he was spec ulatih8 in game of chance at that place and spent about $1 on what is known as the turkey game The game keeper handed him two cigars, which he put in his pocket. Later he took one out and began to smoke it. When he had smoked about one-fourth of it, he suddenly became unconscious and fell to the floor Some one, his friends relate, employed bY Mr. Wells caught him as he fell and al the same time took his purse and 2 loose ten dollar note He was removed to the open air and soon recovered.
 Fucker is of the opinion that the cigar was doped, and that he was at that time Geeced out of his money. He relates that inst as soon as he hat recovered he noticed that his money vas missne He claims that he can identify tha nan who caught him whe9 lo foil bat Ec has net done 90 vet
 Fuckers reputation is in mauV re spects above reproach. According to his statements and the statements of friends in Pine Bluff. he has never drank intoxicating drinks. and says positively that he had not been drinli l ing He says that he has never been subject to faHlting spells of any char aetef He has been in the habit Of smoking occasionally but was not an habtual smoker.
