IT DIDN'T PAN OUT , -
A Confidence Game Which
for Once Failed to
Work.
A Man "Who Ought to Have a
Medal.
It is our duty so often to chroulclo
the successful work of sharpers and
conQdenco men that when wo como
across a case in which the tables are
turned it is a pleasure to gvo ! it
away. At the same time wo would
remark that it would ba well for some
of our officers or the mayor's dotcc-
tivea to got after some of these bold
follows and bring them up short. The
following is taken from The Lincoln
Globe :
Mr. W. H. Frank , an elderly ,
Idnd-hcarted appearing gentleman
from Red Oak , Iowa , arrived in the
city Tueaday. He ia looking over
the state with a view of purchasing a
stock farm. During a pleasant call
this morning ho related the following
which occurred on hla way here while
waiting for the train in Omaha yester
day afternoon.
At the depot in Council Bluffs he
noticed a couple of well-dreaeod ,
smart looking man who seemed to bo
talking about him ; later , while wait
ing at the depot in Omaha , one of the
gentlemen stepped up to him , and ,
apologizing for bis boldness , stated
thai he had seen him before , and asked
whore he was from , and where ho
was going.
Mr. Frank told him he was going to
Kearney , when the man extended his
hand and told him he was a prominent
merchant of Kearney , and was now on
his way homo after an extensive pur
chase of goods.
Mr. Frank then told him that ho
was from Red Oak , Iowa , at which
the stranger appeared much pleased
and asked If ho knew Mr. Murry , a
prominent lawyer of Red Oak and
claimed to be his brother.
Mr. Frank laughingly told him that
he neither looked nor acted like Law
yer Murry , to which the stranger re
plied that he "took after his mother , "
while the lawyer resembled their
father.
The stranger then asked Mr. Frank
to tike a walk with him down to the
oOice of his agent , through whom ho
purchased his goods. As Frank was
tired of waiting ho consented to the
walk. They had not gone but a few
'
rods when they mot the "agent"
coming to sec the merchant about
some freight charges on those goods
which would have to bo paid at Oma
ha and the balance when they arrived
at Kearney.
The stranger seemed surprised , and
taking out his pocket-book , replied ,
that although ho had nothing but a
check which ho displayed conspicu
ously , ho had several hundred dollars
in his satchel at the depot. The
"agent" was in very much of a hurry
and fiaid no time was to bo loat If the
goods got away on that train. Then
the stranger turned to his "new found
friend" and asked him a loan of thirty
dollars for a few moments , until they
could return to the depot , and
offered the chock sa security. To
this the groan-looking , innocent ap
pearing old gentleman quietly shut
one eye and showed the tip of his
toague at the corner of his mouth ,
which little move greatly disconcert
ed the gentlemanly merchant ( ? ) and
