SODII after coming hero ho started in the stock ami gram brokerage business , bavins an oillco In the Hoyal insurance building. He leased wires anil did n bifj business ami was vcrv success- fill for u while Most of his customers were out of town people. I guess things wont ngaiiistliim , because ono day ho went to the bank and drew out all the money belonging to liis customers and skipped. ' [ n the sum ho took was SS.CO ) of mine , which I had put up with him as mar gins on trades which ho had inado for my account. That was the only connection I had with him. Ho was my broker and ho ran away with my money. "I and others whoso money ho had taken wont before the ( -rand jury aod on our evidence two indictments were foil no against him. I understand that after leaving Chicago with the stolen money ho traveled considerable , and then went to Washington , where ho ro- suincd the -claim agency' business in Wash ington with Clarke. They made a specialty of Indian claims and they sent out thousands on thousands of circulars. Loomls followed the circulars to Texas , where hevont around getting people to assign their claims to him. The agreement was that ho or the firm waste to retain n stipulated percentage of the amount as compensation if the claim was collected by thoin from the government. Isiit the contracts had a little proviso which looked harmless but meant a great deal. It was to the otTcet that no other charges would bo made by thn agency unless extra service was rendered or extra expense incurred. This provision or clause , you see , was so vague and indolinito that under it. the 'agency' could make any charges it pleased and the people who nail assignea their claims could not object , of course , Loomis' urro't stooped the fruition of the scheme but it had preat possibilities for a man of Loomis' peculiar ideas. Loomis is now at Manchester , la. The case is not set tled as was reported and ho will bo tried in court on the two charges of embezzlement. " A man who was well acquainted with Lnomis said that it ho not been arrested he would have cleared SI,00(1,00. ( ) or more on his "airi nc.v" scheme because every dollar col lected for the claimants could be-retained bv him under the ingenious "extra , 'ixpenso" clause.

This Indi'lToroiieo to the elements was shown by the excellent scores made by nearly nil of tl.o men , while these of .some of the latter almost reached the topmost notch. Private Jensen , E company of the Seventh , bore olT the honors , scoring l.'i.S points , the largest ever made on the range. This has been excelled in otlierdepartnionts where the atmospheric conditions , nro much more fav orable for shooting. The second best run was made by Lieuten ant Choynoweth of the Seventeenth , who scored I'M points , .a number of which were made on the lying down sihouetto. .Corporal Spencer of E company of the 17th iiffunlry made n remarkable showing having put , thirty-one bullets through the kneeling silhouette , while Seivent Mover of the same regiment sent thirty bullets through the same kind of target. A part of Private-Jensen's work was peppering - poring eighteen times the lying-down ligurc. For the benefit of the uninitiated it may bo stated that the kneeling llguro is a silhouette of a man , life si/o in that attitude of tiring , while that of the lying-down llguro is also the lifo size of a soldier in that attitude , firing upon the enemy. There is still anothersllhouctto. . It is that of a man standing and firing , but , soldiers prefer to shoot at one or the oilier of the prone or kneeling figures. When perfor ated , the last mentioned counts four and the prostrate iiguro live , while the standing ono counts only three points. These are only a few examples of the eood firing done which tended to give elasticity to the spirits of both privates und commissioned ofllccrs. This spirit 11 is thought will anim ate the marksmen throughout , the remainder of the competition , secure for the men good range records and for the department n team which will doubtless veiled croilit upon the Platte in Chicago. , , , The shooting of th'o soldiers last year was awarded by a larger number of points than was that of the competitors in any preceding meeting. And yet , there is a tiood clianco that the boat record of last yea- will be ex ceeded by the record of a half dozen men this year. In Ib'JO the hlghast score in four days' fir ing was 500. That was on an averE.ce of 1-10 points per day , oribl ) points for the llrst two davs of the competition. Yesterday's shooting closed the second day nnd there are four men who have reached isb points already and three who exceed it , the llrst man at Una writing having made iSS pclnts. At tuts rate , unless oad wimtnor in tervene , if the present leader should continue ho will have fiTt ) , or sixteen points in excess of the highest score of IbOO. The lowest total secured by a member of last year's team was .111 , an average of 1 7.75 points per dav , or a.Vi.5' ) points for the llwt two days of the competition. This year , the lowest of the ten loaders has in two davs , made aiiT points , or 12 more than the average of his prototype of ono year ago. These llgures emphasize the fact that the men are doing excellent shooting , and what is more , that they nro likely to continue to do it during the competition. The shooting of yesterday was witnessed by a number of ladies and gentlemen from the city who had driven to ttio place in carriages. Among the visitors were Colonel nnd Mrs. M. V. Sheridan , Mrs. Captain Wordon , Miss Wordcu and Mrs. ( lubbard. On next Thursday the last skirmish iirlng of the competition will take place both in the morning and the afternoon. At the conclu sion of the tiring in the latter period the medals prescribed by the government will bo awarund to the ten marksmen who shall have earned thorn by their good work. This will bo an occasion of great interest. The second infantry band from Fort Oinaha will bo in attendance , as will also n nunioer ot distinguished civic and military gentle men. A largo number of ladies and gentle men from social circles in this city have also declared their inten tion to bo present. For the accom modation of the public , the Burlington .t Missouri will run a special train on that day to the range , leaving the union depot at 1 p. m. nnd returning at the conclusion of the exercises , which will bo about 11 p. m. The faro for the round trip will boll.'ic. Major Baker yesterday visited tbo range nnd paid the ofllcors anil men leaving several thousand dollars in the possession of Uuclo Sam's defenders.
