THE OMABA DAILY BEE : WEDNESDAY. MABCH 8 1883 , VAGRANT OR VANDAL A Man Once Worth $100,000 Arrested on the Charge of Vagrancy. Dee Bags" tbo Most Famoua Bunko Mnn In the World. Dtnrcr Tribune. In Justice JofTrios' court yesterday there was arranged on a charge ol vagrancy the most famous "bunko" and "top and bottom" man and sure thine worker in the world. Of cotirao the charge was not sustained. Doe Dagtjs boards at a fmo hotel. lie : s in Colorado for his "health , " and has lived in Denver for several years. lie pays § 150 per month board for him self and wife , always has plenty of money , and his wife owns some -pro porty. lie had witnesses by ho score yesterday to show that ho Vas en gaged in the hack business , that ho paid his bill promptly , and that his wife owned property to which ho at tended. The charge of vagrancy fell flat , as it was proved , not that Uaggs had no visible moans of support , but that ho had every moans of buying the necessities and the luxuries of life , and that ho lived like n Prince on money obtained nobody know whore. DOG UA004. An yet among crooked men , _ do tcctives , police officers arrd the initia ted generally Doc Baggs is known as ono among the most successful onfi- donco men in the United States. Ho has made and lost thousands of del lara nt his clever games. All these wore played with a tact , knowledge of human nature and elegance of ad dress that was simply inimitable. In the Black Hills , at the time of the rush to the mountains of gold , in Loadvillo in the days . "of her greatest prosperity , in many cities cast and west , north and south , Dee Bangs has been the central figure around which sporting men , fly charactora and oven moro distinguished individuals gath ered , and into who o exchequer thou sands of shoklcs poured daily. The atory of his life and adventures roads like a romance. Beside his elegant demeanor and slick manner of work ing a sucker , the boldest operations of Canada Bill sink into insignificance and "Denver" nliaa Bill Champ , Bonny Sylvester tnd the whole hire ling crow become as antiquated fossils and very tyros in crime. Ho was never caught or charged with a grave crime. Ho always preferred to square things with his victim , if the latter mndo any fuss , than to square them with the police. Nobody could give up money with a bettor grace or amore moro elegant apology than Doe Baggs , and the amounts ho thus refunded would probably run far up into the hundred thousands if ' * THE TOTAL COULD IIP. TOLD. "Whore is Dee Baggs now ? " asked a reporter yesterday of a once well known sporting man , when it was supposed that Baggs had loft the city. "I guess ho is in town , " was the reply. "Ho is 'stuck * on Colorado , and can stay here , I reckon , as long as ho wants to. " "But I heard ho had. skipped out when it was reported that ho was go ing to bo arrested for vagrancy. " "I guess the Dee ain't very much afraid of being 'vaggod. ' He's too alick for that. Ho never was caught yet , and it will bo a long time before they do catch him , " was the senten tious response. "You Know him , then ? " asked the reporter. "Well , I should say I did. I traveled - . olod with him for three years , and know his history from A to Izzard and that's what mighty few people do. The Dee is a silent man , and seldom has much to say about himself , but I'll bet he oould give away more preachers , senators , and especially chiefs of police who have stood in with him than any man m the United States. " " in Jacksonville Florida "Why , , , two years ago , the authorities , who got 20 per cent of the Doc's winnings , escorted him from the depot to the hotel in a coach and four , headed by a band , as a prominent and public spirited citizen , when ho came to town. niH UJ8TOHY. "Doo Baggs was formerly a gam bler of no great pretentious , " said the sporting man , "and first began to come into prominence among the crooks of the quasi sporting world about fifteen years ago. Ho was a disciple of Canada Bill , the notorious monte man , and ton or twelve yoara ago was a familiar spirit with Bill , "Denver" and Sylvester , when they used to throw their 'throo cards 'suc cessfully on the old Kansas Pacific to see who could 'pick out the boy. ' Dee has been chiefly 'known since /or his 'bunko' work. In this art ho stands pro-eminent. Hi" clover ad dress and genteel appearance' never failed him , and ho has made thousands of dollars at the business. In the Black Hills ho made at least $100,000 in a few months. After the Black Hills rush ho went to Loadvillo , whore ho again worked the town for u cool $75,000. Ho caught every body tlroru preachers , bankers , brokers and every class of citizens. " ' What does ho do with all his monoyj" "Blow it in against faro and spend it in extravagant living. His enor mous profit wont the way that all such ill-gotten gains invariably go. Dee has lost thousands and thousands of dollars at faro alono. " TIUUKH OF TUB TIIAPE. "Now I will tell you how 'bunko , or as the boys on the inside generally call it , 'bunk' is worked. Bunko is nothing moro or loss than a lottery scheme. It takes u nicely furnished room , Bomo books and charts , a falsa safe and a good man to play it suc cessfully , At least Doc always had , Ilia false eafo , an enormous affair made of tr'ood with a silver knob , bouuti- M fully painted and labeled 'Hall's lPatent' ' Jt looked exactly like * * * heavy iron safe. One day Doc's office ' in Deadwood caught fire , and ho aur- prlsod everybody by running dqwn stains with the massive ( ? ) safe on his back. "What did l o want to save it forl" "Why , d-n ill the thing cost hi as much as 100. Of course ho wan ted to savoit. , . Ho had it inado of wood BO ho could fold it up and carry it around cosily from place to : place , You know every tfrao the bunko mnn catches a big 'sucker' h moves his office. When the 'sucker next coines around ho don't find any thing but an empty room. Besides Dee used to keep his money and valuables uablos in that same old woo chest. No burglars would vontur to tackle its massive sides , and it wa ns secure as it would have boon in an ; vault in the country. " THK REDUCTIVE OAMB OF BUNKO. "To play bunko , " continued th speaker , "you want two stcorora bcaitl the inside man , Now , supposing am the steoror. Wo always carry in our pocket a list of all the banks an < bank officials in the United States Now , wo look around and try to siz up a'gray. ' \Vo like either a yo'ung follow or an old gray-haired man > deacon in the church preferred. Wo find out or guess whether ho has money , and how much of n roll ho carries. These things are easily learned od about hotels , saloons and other places of amusement. It is not much Lroublo to 'spot' our man. If wo know his name all wetland good , Bui if wo don't I go up and say : " 'Why , Mr. Brown , how are you ? ' 'My name is not Brown'ho says , 'my ' name is Smith,1 " 'Why , I thought you was Brown from Cincinnati ? ' " 'No , sir ; I am Smith from Louis villc. ' "Now wo have got him. It may Lake a little more extended conversa tion , or a few moro excuses , to learn Ilia name , but wo learn it. TUB OT1IEK SPOTTER or stceror is close behind , and I whis per as I pass , 'W. H. Smith , keeps a soap factory in Louisville. ' The spot ter looks hastily over his bank book in some convenient hallway. In a moment ho knows every banker in the town. The spotter is a stranger and a nephew of ono oi the aforesaid bankers. Ho gets along bettor with Smith and the spotter whose name might bo Jones remembers that ho bought a lottery ticket somewhere at the solicitatjon of a friend. By na tural gradations , or apparently by no : idont , Jones and Smith entered the lottery man's office. There is a hugo safe and a pile of gold bricks and an lonost looking old man with a gold pen behind his ear that's Baggs. The rails are covered with pictures and ) ills of the Kentucky lottery or the 3avana lottery's last drawing. Jones produces his ticket and finds ho has irawn $100. The honest old man innlly admits that ho has a way of .oiling . by a complicated system of lumbers what ticket will win a prizo. Tho-strangers invest again , the impos- ng system of numbers being explained at great length. "Tho strangers draw a considerable > rizo of $500. The old man protests , hat they will bust him up. The con ditions are very peculiar. They look as if you were bound to win the $500 , or if you lost that to win at least two and a half times the money invested at each turn except a rebate of CO per cent. , which goes to the SINKING FUNDS 0V THE ASSOCIATION. "The strangers arn fast downing the ) oor ola man with a gold pen behind lis ear. At every throw they are drawing conditional prizes , so that at each time they loose the prize they ; ot more than their money back. But ivory time they draw the amonnt of ho forfeit put up has to bo doubled. The schema is very intricate , plausible and and the sucker " taking , "repre sents" first $50 , then $100 , 8200 , $400 , 8800 , 81,000 , etc. , until the ast draw , when by an unforeseen runsition , ho looses the whole amount. Men of the world , men of amilics , men of every complexion and color have boon beaten at this game ind most of them have pocketed their oss , though it bankrupted them , so cutely hostho scheme boon played. " A MtKACHKll's rilEDIOAUKNT. Continuing in this strain , the ro- lortor learned many curious incidents if the doings of Baggs. On ono occa- ion a Presbyterian deacon or preacher rom Rock Island was roped into Jaggs Denver don and robbed of 13,200 in cash. The old man kicked" and wanted his money back , but Baggs treated him in his usual uavo stylo. "My dear Mr. , " ho cried , call- ng him by hia right name , "I will in- reduce you to the Presbyterian min ster hero , or I will write to your rionds Rev. so-and-so , of Daven port. " The old man was astounded , ind loft the bunko room crestfallen , 1IEUQINQ TIIU ( JAUIILEB of o say nothing about the matter. Ho lad boon roped in on the pious racket , ho stooror being a religious young nan who took him to a lottery for the of > onefit of the sisters of charity. The secret was that while talking together the steoror had written the names of til the old deacon's friends down on us shirt cuff and secretly slipped a 1st of them to Bogga before the game was concluded. This is only a sample of the nnoo- lotes related of Baggs. If the poacher had como around mlf an hour later ho would have bund the room dismantled , the heavy roii safe and all the furniture as mya- oriously spirited away as if they had boon removed by the devil himself. Captain Mullott , the great live seal man and furnisher of circus supplies , was ono of Baggs' victim at ono time for 91,900. The money was after wards refunded. 9 ANECDOTES. As a "lop and bottom man" Ba/gs was also a success , This is a kind of confidence gamp which is played with dice , and while it makes a very plaus ible looking method of winning money to the "sucker , " is sure to rob him of all ho has in the end. In all those schemes the dealer and cappers or Btoorers have to "flash " up" a big roll of money. They prefer to "flash upi1 a genuine roll it they hive it , but if they are short they USD bogus pack ages of bills known as "Musou's boodle" from the name of the house , Mason & Co. , who make thorn in Chic-tyo. THE W0118T OH ALL. "You say you traveled with Boggs , " said the reporter to his informant ; "now who have ' ' you 'squared' in the various town * you hove uoon in ? " "Well , " was the reply , "in Jack sonville , Florida , two years ago this winter we wuro all right. Wo gave the authorities 20 per cent of the winnings , Dee intended to go tlniro hls winter , but was kept hero by a aw suit. " Sorlons Accident on the Northwos era.
