HENDfRSON'S LUCK
 IN PICKING VICTIMS
Caught in His CrOOkedness, He Es-
 capped Prosecution.

A somewhat unusual and altogether
 foolish and ridiculous robbery occurred
 at the Grand View lodging house Mon-
 day. The culprit was arrested, con-
 fessed, restored the money. and action
 against him was dropped. The victim
 is Mrs. Byler, who conducts the lodg- ing house. and the foolish man who took the money is Ernest Henderson, a
 waiter who had been employed by
 Gass Bros.
 Monday evening Mrs. Byler reported
 to the police that she had been saving her money for a visit to friends in California and had fifty dollars in her
 purse which she had failed to put in a
 safer place. She was called out a short
 time before and secreted the purse un- der a bureau. When she returned it
 was gone. She at once suspected Hen
 derson. by reason of other trifles that
 had mysteriously disappeared in a way that cast suspicion upon him. She de scribed Henderson to the police and
 Officers Bloomhorst and Reiber began
 a search for him. finding him an hour
 or so later in the Redlight district. He was brought to the city jail and
 searched. but only had a dollar or SC in his pockets. He denied having stolen
 the money but the police knew that he had been drinking and gambling and believed him guilty. He said that the money he had used in this way was secured from his employers early in the evening, fact which was later verified, as it was payday at the res taurant.
 Yesterday morning the city marshal was apprised of the facts occurring the night before and took the matter UT with Henderson. After a heart-tO- heart talk he admitted his guilt He said that he was drunk and came home
 with a friend. who. by the way was
 sober. and who put him to bed. He claimed they found the purse lying or his bed and he told his friend he be- lieved it belonged to the landlady. The | friend threw the purse to one side. after | he had noted it's contents. put out the
 gas and told Henderson to get a good sleep and be ready to go to work ir ' the morning.
 But the temptation of the money was ! too strong, and after the friend left Henderson, so he said, got up. dressed himself and taking the money made Q | trip to the badlands. giving it to a ! "Iady friend" to keep for him. He saiC
 that if an officer would go with him he would go and get the money. Officer ! Moore accompanied him and found the story correct, the woman giving up the money without protest.
 1 Mrs. ByIer said she knew Tender sons mother, who lives in the east, and ! that she was a good woman and foI that reason she refused to prosecute him. He was discharged.

LOOK OUT FOR THIS MAN
A Brand New Swindling Scheme
Being Worked Near MorsantOwn.

The police in the upper end of this
state are on the lookout for very slick
swindler who has operated in several
sections of the country and recently has
beeniheard from in that section. The
man. name is given as John Hoover but
he doubtless travels under many aliases
and he is@rwanted@at several places for
forgery and obtaining money under false
pretenses. His method Of operation is
very smooth and is worth remembering.
He viii look over a farm that is for sale
and decide to buy it, asks if there is a
notary,near or anyone that can acknowl-
edge legal papers and learns there is one
at the village. He then borrows the
abstract'of the place, stating he desires
his attorney to look it over. He then
calls on the notary at the village and
asks.him to make out a power of attor-
ney as he desires to send it to a relative
in the east. After getting this with the
notary's seal on it he makes q duplicate
of the seal. He then calls on some real
estate man and states he intends to buy
the farm and to examine the abstract
and the county records to see if the title
is all right and afterward has him draw
up deed for the farm, takes all his real
money, and inquiries if there is anyone
from whom.he could procure a loan for
the purpose of extensive improvements
to the place and the real estate man
readily agrees to help him out seeing a
commission in it for himself. Hoover
then takes the abstract and deed to his
hotel. where he FORCES the names of the
farmer and his wife to the latter and
then places the notary's seal on it by
way of acknowledgement. After
suitable time he again calls on the real
estate man and shows him the deed
properly signed and acknowledged. He
states he.has paid out his ready money
for the farm, and asks that if possible
he would like to'secure the loan at once
so that he could return east and remove
his family to the farm. The real estate
man sends for the party who intends to
make the loan and he upon arrival looks
over the deed, takes a note for the
amount. Thermoney is then paid over
and the foxy" Hoover sllips town. -

"A COMMON charge. brought against
newspaper reporters. p" writes Hartley
Davis in the.current number of Every
body's Magazine, lis that they are
heartless, that they revel in laying be-
fore the world the closely guarded Sc
crets of individuals. 1t constantly hap
pens that reporter must do unpleasant
things because others have been guilty
of those violations of custom, law, or
convention that make news. The op-
probrium that belongs to the real Offend
er is not infrequently heaped upon the
innocent newsg&therer. There is no
work reporter detests so much as
that involving a social scandal, and
there is no story that a large percentage
of readers will devour more eagerly.
There ism { good reporter living who
has not been guilty Of that blacklist,
least forgivable :. Of all journalistic
crimes, throwing down his newspaper,
to protect helpless. person innocentIy
involved in legitimate news story that
is matter oflpublic record On the
whole the news gatherers are a tender
hearted folk and generous and that
which often passes for cynicism is an
intense hatred and contempt for shams.
If they appear suspicious it is because
long experience has taught them that
they must constantly guard against de-
ception. There is no walk of life a
good reporter is not compelled, sooner
or later, to invade and his! position is
the trying one of being compelled either
to gain the confidence or to outwit those
