FLIM-FLAMMED ON "HOSS"
That's What Mr.. Edwards, of Vir.
ginia, Says Happened When He
Placed $1,000 on Stromboli

A gentleman peanut-grower from Nir-
ginia early today placed a cool thousand
dollars on a race-hoss in a well-appointed
apartment and lost. He is now touring
the central section of the city with De-
tective Agnew in an endeavor to find the
apartment. the two men who he says
"flim-hammed" him and the $1,000 which
he lost.
"Nevuh again will visit youah city,
sub" said the indignant plantation
owner, T. NJ Edwards, of Yushmere, Va,
as he reported the loss to Captain of De-
tectives Cameron.
"The boss, whose name is Stromboli,
and who. / unduhstand is at present
pfawmirE at Juarez, has an excellent
record, sub; so have the two pussons
who swindled me excellent records-faw
crookedness, sub, that is unheard of in
Virginia"
According to Edwards, he left Virginia,
a state second to none in the production
of "goobers" several days ago to make
a Northern trip. He arrived here Mon
day, and put up at hotel on Arch street
near 18th. There he met man, whose
name he did not learn, and through him
was introduced to q "Mr. Miller"
''AIr. Milluh was represented 10 me as
being the gentleman who won back Judge
Grlnells fortune by playing the hosses,"
said Edwards. "I was prevailed upon to
90 TO New York to get 5000 and returned
here today / put the money on Strom-
boil: 1 lost. SO did my friend. Mr..
MilIuh won all. My friend was very
bittuh against Mr. Milluh and vowed he
would shoot HIM and get my money back.
Not being particular about gunplay, l
prevailed upon my friend TO leave with
me. Then he disappeared
Detectives are making every effort TO
capture the men, who are thought to be
old hands at the game.
