Will X. King, the festvie adver
tising acut and accomplished ?mooth
duck, whose fame extends through
several states and territories, lan
guishes in the central station, where
he was lauded yesterdav on complaint
of M. J. Downing, eit passenger
agent of the iiurliairton r)i , who
allowed himself to be r-'ithercd into
the meshes of the slick ouig fraud.
August (Jth last 31r. Downing cashed
a check amounting to $15 drawn on
the Red Cloud National btok by King
h.mself. who represented that !.e had
money on deposit there. A f-w days
later Mr. Dowliug was informed of
the untruthfulness of King's repre
sentations, as the check wa.- returned
itli the dismal information tiat the
bank knew nothing of die man King
or ever had auv dealings w.th him.
Since that time .Mr Do ling has been
keeping a sharp lookout for King.
ho yesterday had the nerw to walk
into Sir. Dowling's office and extend
a hand of greeting. The latter gen
tleman, however, was not a bit cordial
and cal'ing in officer Hagey handed
King over to him. It is understood
that Mr. Hul. the manager ot the
Paxcon house, has also a score to set
tle with the prisoner, whom it is al
leged passed a forged check on him

DeMraetlve Fire at Cera.
