10 THE OMAHA DAILY REE: TUESDAY, JULY 30, 1907. CLEVER CON MEN CAUGHT Authors of Smooth Prize Fight Fake Arretted in Omaha. HEARING IN COUNCIL BLUFFS T Man Is Brother of Pitcher ThleW mm of ITlaa1 mm Hlmaclf Profeealoaal Baa Ball flayer. By a fake prlis flsht and a Ion trip from I.nulsvllla to Council Blum lat week Henry Hmplbaum cf Kentucky wag made the victim of one of the moil elab rate "eon" games known to the police. R. I.. Thlelman and E. A. Aleteadt, wbo were srreated Saturday, were the contriv ers and they profited $1,000 by the deal. Mr. Haaelbaum was nrproached by Alt steadt In Loulavllle with the Information that a priie fight, strictly eecrot of courae, waa to be pulled off In Council Bluffa. Aleteadt'a partner, Thlelman,repreented hlmeelf a a pug known to the fighting world aa "Caaey." The three made the trip to Council Bluffa together and on the way Haselbaum was given new evidence at every oppor tunity that "Caaey" waa Invincible and ure to win. The other fighter waa a man named Gor man, whom the police have not yet lo cated. When the three arrived In Council Bluffa liaielhaum waa allowed to bet over lls.000 on "Caaey." but the beta were all contracted with confederates of the gang and were all made with counterfeit, thousand-dollar bills. ems Too Eaey to Be Trae. That any man could be duped by such elaborate foolery aeems Impossible to the police, but Mr. Haielbaum had not yet auapected anything wrong. The strictest secrecy was demanded In all the betting In which he participated, as he knew the fight would be stopped if the police heard of It. Finally the "Caaey" money ran' out and the victim was Induced to bet 0,000 of his own money on the man he had picked to win. The fight was actually pulled off, for Mr. Hazolbaum'a sole bene fit, at the Kiel hotel In Council Bluffs. In the third round, however, after Haxelbaum had been taken Into "Casey's" corner to act as hla second, "Casey." the unconquer able, put a quantity of red fluid In his mouth, and when Gorman swatted him he spurted out what Hazelbaum though was .his life blood and Haielbaum fell In a faint. When he came too the remains of the battle had been cleared away and the fighters were gone. Boon after he got two mysterious tele grama. One was from 8t. Louis and said: "Keep on going; the police are after you." The other, dated New York, read: "Goodby Hazel, I'm going to Ixndon." Detective Robs of the Louisville police force came to Omaha to tako the two "con" men back to the scene of the beginning of operations. It was later decided to prosecute the case against Thiol man and Alateadt in Council Bluffa as the actual transfer of money waa made there. Mr. Hazelhaum will remain In the city until the case Is settled and De tective Rosa may stay to help the prosecu tion. The men are still In the custody of the Omaha police. Thlelman of Good Family. Thielman lias acquaintances in Omaha. He Is from a staunch and prominent Ger man family of St. Cloud, Minn. His fathor la the pioneer hardware merchant of that city of 10,000. Here Thlelman and his five brothers were born and reared and at one time Thlelman was placed In charge of the store by his father. The hoys were ' ball players and their proficiency in the great game tempted them to leave the less lurid sphere of standing behind their father's counters for the diamond. .Tike ' Thlelman, now on the pitching staff of J Cleveland, Is one of these sons. The man ; In trouble began his professional career iwlth Seattle and waa sold by Seattle to -Spokane. He has a good record as a ball player. Thlelman was confronted by an old acquaintance after his arrest Saturday at the city jail. ' "I am sorry to see you In this trouble," aid the friend. "You can't be half as sorry as I am," aid Thlelman. "It s the first time In my life I waa ever arrested." Thlelman said he had Just happened to meet Alsteadt. Mrs. Thlelman and the lit tle children had just gone to Seattle a couple of days before his arrest, he told Captain Dunn. Thlelman was especially anxious about the news of his disgrace be ing kept from his aged parents and family If possible, but he remarked: "I guess that Isn't possible." Victim Afraid and Aahamed. "I don't know how many such tricks these fellows have played," said Captain Dunn. "You see the cleverest feature of their game lies In the fact that their vic tims are afraid of arrest and ashamed of being taunted and so hesitate to report to the authorities. They make their dupe be lieve he la equally guilty with them. In a way. and when he gets over believing this be Is so ashamed of being such an easy victim that be hesitates to let go of hi secret."

EVERY LIFE IS FINALLY SAVED Trouble All Dne to Slipping; ( the Doodad and Fans Pa by . the Ding Basted Ca-dorlator. A dead calm rested on the sea, "the waves to sleep had gone." Bo had the dinky engine that furnished power at odd time to drive the boat, and the good ship Ahamo drifted "aa idly a a painted ship upon a painted ocean." On board the staunch and goodly vessel were some twenty passengers who had paid their good money for a trip around Cut-Off lake, but here they were all the same stranded, with "water, water everywhere, but not a drop to drink." It was terrible; eo were the mosquitoes. Ouly a little way oft lay shore, and. the electric lights at the club grounds danced in tenanting manner as they gleamed and glinted across the placid bosom of the lake. Over yonder was Larsen's. Fad at both landings were boats -galore. On board the Ahamo all was excitement. The doodad had slipped and in trying to get It back Into place the cadorlator made a faux paa, or a half turd to th right, or omethlng. and the first engineer and captain went into secret consultation, while the "black gang" wrestled with contumacious ma chinery. Then a committee of passengers met and laid before the captain and the chief engi neer their plan to send ashore for rowbouts. "All right," said the enriner. but. "No!" thundered the captain. He would blast his tarry topllghts and shiver hi binnacle In at least three places before be would con sent to have hi gallant ship made salvage tor a skiff. And there they stuck. Late Wits she Touches. It was 7:56 p. m. on a bright and lovely July evening wheu the Ahamo weighed anchor and cast off for Its run that la now historical. It was 11 o'clock even when the gallant vessel touched shore again. To undertake to describe the mingled fewl- Icohol m sift mot needed Arar's Sarsspanlla U Bet a wrong drink.

While the waters lay deadly still beneath the stars and finally the moon came up and shone with silvery refulgence across the lake, something ominous portended which even the silence Increased. What If a wind should spring up and blow the boat into the bulrushes, here the deadly and treach erous mud hen and the venomous bull frog lurk? Perish the thought. Htiavens, what might have occurred that didn't Finally, after much demanding that the captain put off In his canoe and bring relief from shore, and much refusal to do so on part of tha captain, a motor boat happened along and took the Ahamo In tow. Other boats came along and evntu aliy all en board were saved It was a thrilling experience and one or two of tbe bravest oo board have determined never to risk themselves or their loved ones by going to sea at Cut-Off lake again. , This all happened Sunday evening.
