day afternoon in favor of Mrs. II. A,
Hurd against the C. & N. w. railway

CROOKS WORK THE BAaeAeeMEN
How They Get in Their Plant burina the
Hustlinu Moments

HustIng Moments.
Baggage thieves are among the sllclast
crooks in the world, Those who haya
learned wisdom by experience have tri ks
which deceive expert detectives. Express
companies and railroads, because of the
element Of haste that is necessary very
often in the transaction of business, have
tempted the professional thief. One of the
tricks is to impersouate a drummer, per-
sistently demanding checks for his trunks.
The agent steps to the window, counts ten
trunks. hands the man strap checks and
duplicates and returns TO his case The
man instead of checking .on only checks
nine. A confederate removes the other
trunk. Upon arriving at his destination
the drummer produces ten checks and
tho road has a claim of several hundred
dollars TO defend. Other baggage thieves
are known rs check Charmcrs." Their
speciality Is to check 4 worthless trunk or
grip and later gain access TO the baggage
room and change the check from rAe old
trunk to fine Saratoga, which is claimed
a the other end of the line.
The drop bag men are the worst bag
gage thieves. The 'drop bag man dresses
like ruLtic and purchasing an old black
oil 10th vallse cuts the bottom clean away
and IN its place pastes false bottom Of

he places four sharply pointed steel LoO6s,

light upon a valuable Russian leather or
alligator bag left upon the floor or seat
while the owner Is busy purchasing tiekets
or saving good bye TO friends, Like a
dash the thief drops the old black valise
over the valuable bag; the false bottom II

holds the bag and when its owner turns 10
