Confidence Man Pays Up and Secures
Dismissal of Case.

Dismissal of Case.
C. r. Beemer, the young man from De-
troit, Mich, who was flam-flammed out
a Northwestern passenger train between
Sioux City and Council Bluffs, Wednesday,
succeeded in recovering his money yester-
day afternoon. T. Haskins, one of the three
alleged card sharks, who was arrested
while trying to make a getaway Wednesday
evening, paid Beemer back his $25, and
thereby secured a dismissal of the charge
against him and his release from the county
jail.
tice Greene yesterday afternoon, Beemer
having filed an information in that court,
counsel for Haskins asked for a c~ontinu-
ance until Saturday, which was granted.
Haskins' pond was placed at $500, and in
default of same he was sent to the county
Jail. Not wishing to lay in Jail Haskins,
through his attorney, offered TO refund
young Beemer what he had lost provided
the case against him was dismissed.
Beemer, being on his way to the Pacific
coast, was not anxious to stop over here
for several days, although determined to
push the case against Haskins or secure
the return Of the SIS he claimed to have
been buncoed out of, and after consulting
with Assistant County Attorney Ross ex.
pressed hts willingness to accept the prop
osition and dismiss the charge. The money
was paid over to Beemer and during the
afternoon Haskins was released from the
county jail.
