Alarms London Women and Rims
Their Costumes With Ink.

London, Dec. 4.-Well- dressed wo-
men are alarmed at the reappear-
ance OF Jack the Inkman," the mis-
creant who caused such a sensation
In London a year ago by running the
costumes OF women with ink as they
passed along the streets. on the for
mer occasion 'the Inkman" commit
ted most Of his outrages in the Tot
tenham Court road, now he haunts
the neighborhood of Bond street, Ok
ford street and Regent street
In these busy thoroughfares nearly
n dozen outrages have been reported
within the past few days women sud-
denly discovering that their dresses
have been ruined by shower of ink.
Neither the police nor the victims
seem able TO catch sight of the mys-
teDous scoundrel, the only clew to
his whereabouts being tine sudden dis
covery of some costume splashed and
dripping with ink, apparently thrown
from a syringe.

B. B. Leonard, a wheatbroker Of
Connell, Wash, is now a sadder and
a wiser man than he was when he
arrived in this city on the Northern
Pacific train yesterday forenoon. In
cidentally he is loser to the extent
of $3.50 by reason of his local expe-
rience. =,
Mr.. Leonard was passenger on the
N. P. branch line train yesterday and
was enroute to Hot Lake to sojourn
a short time for the benefit of his
health.
While on the way down from Pas
co he sought to drown the monotony
of the transcontinental trip by fire.
quently indulging in the cup that
cheers, for a short time only. In
consequence Of this he was well ine-
briated when. he arrived here, ac-
cording to those who saw him.
After leaving the train Leonard
went to a Main street lodging house.
and securing a room laid down for
a short rest 1t was about l o'clock
when he did so and at 8 o'clock he
awoke with a feeling that something
was missing. He found 1t was his
pocketbook, with the $3.50 enclosed,
his keys and also some other trink-
cts he had in his pocket.
But though he was evidently rob-
bed early in the afternoon Leonard
made no report to the officers until
after dark in the evening by which
time several trains had left the city.
AS result the sheriff and police
were handicapped in their efforts to
find the guilty man or men.
While Leonard is absolutely ignor-
ant Of how he became robbed, suspi-
cion is strongly fastened upon three
men who were on board the train
with him and are known to have fol-
lowed him to his room. 1t is now be-
lieved that these men left on one Of
the evening trains Yesterday as the
officers have not been able to find
them here, though thorough search
was made last night and today
