BEGGAR USED a REVOLVER.
Used IL to Induce the Charitably In

The cripple beggar who has been
drawing tears of sympathy from the
eyes of the chicken hearted for the
last week. at the corner of Seventh and
the avenue, drank too much nre water
yesterday and caused some excitement
at several places IN the afternoon
Early in the day the chief Of police
noticed the man was begging and told
the beggar that he would have to get
off the street or he would be shut up.
The mendicant promised to remove
himself but failed to do SO.
Spending some of the aims, that the
sympathetic citizens had bestowed
upon him for booze, the man began to
drink early in the day and by after
noon was at that stage when he was
disposed to resent, If any one refused
to contribute In fact the beggar was

He would brandish little club he held
in his hand and deliver a select assort-
ment of not very fiattering names to
the noncontrfbuting citizen.
Late IN the day the corner Of Seventh
and Kansas avenue grew too tame for
the beggar and he set forth to seek
new fields for his enterprise. The Smoke
House first attracted his attention and
he wandered IN. Some one did not re-
spond to his appeal so the beggar pull
ed out a revolver to try to compel sym
pathy. The people at the Smoke HOUSE
moved the fellow out on the side walls
His next stop was at RoWley's drus

as at the Smoke House with the same
unfortunate result to himself and for
tune, thrown out.
