 Disgorge.
PISTOL WAS A PAPERWEIGHT
But Intruder Thought It Was the Real Thing and Gave Up Not Only What He Had Stolen, but Sixty Cents
 of His Own Money.

Miss Evelyn and Louise Dobson. two handsome young women of Brooklyn, living at 133 Remsen street, not only made burglar give up his booty. but backed up by sham pistol they forced the trembling wretch to surrender Go cents of his own money.
 This was not discovered until he had made his escape, while the young wo- men were deliberating over the advisa bility of calling a policeman

LAND FRAUDS NEAR ALLIANCE
'Policy" King Of Chicago Arrested by
Secret Service Men.

Chicago, Sept. 25.-An extensive
scheme OF land frauds in government
lands in the vicinity OF Alliance, Neb.,
King, for many years the head poll.
cy" promoter of Chicago, was arrest.
ed on a charge of being the ring.
leader. For three months secret
service operatives have been at work
in Chicago in connection with the eX.
lstence of a company said to have
been organized for the purpose of ille.
gally obtaining title to homesteads in
Nebraska, and the first arrest was
made on complaint of Robert Hobbs,
secret service operative, of Washing.
ton. SuborIation of perjury was the
specific charge on which King was
arrested. He was arraigned befire
United States Commissioner Foote
and released on $4,000 bonds until
Oct. 4.
1t is charged that King, with a
number OF other men, has used aged
civil war veterans and their widows
to further their scheme of obtaining
title 10 VAS TRACTS OF ldnQ IN Ne"
braska. King is charged with having
fraudulently obtained title to seven
sections of land from as many former
soldiers.
Agents OF King are said to have per.
suaded former soldiers to file claims
on the land. after which they were in.
duced to sign contracts to transfer the
title to King. The prospective home.
steader was then given railroad fare
to Nebraska and his expenses paid.
When the title was cleared the land
was turned over to King. The land
filed upon is of little value at present
and irrigation vas relied upon to
make the scheme profitable. Kings
case will have to be transferred to
the courts of Nebraska for trial, be-
cause the alleged fraud was commit
ted there. King demanded and was
given a continuance.
