C. Cox, whoso forgeries and arrest were mentioned in these co 1 utnnfl taut, tried the sam. Kaine in this city, but nndera differ ent name. He. however, failed to catch any of the Freeporters whom he approached.

His scheme was good ono and he worked it well, but owing to certain little happenings and (laws he failed to derive any results in this city. Last Tuesday a well-dressed young man made his appearance in tiili- city. He visited a few of the business men and did all in his power to ingratiate himself in a acquaintance with them. Amotiji those ho tried to fleece are Fred Young, of the Arcade saloon, Win H. Flachtemeier.

and C. H. Nott, both of whom are in the monument business. Tuesday morning he appeared at the Nott monumental works and introduced himself as being a representative oft a St. Louis monument and granite company, lie dated that-iiis firm had received a letter from a widow in this town by the name of Karcher, asking for the prices on a monument which she intended to erect over her husband's grave, who had died about two years ago, and whom he thought he had been buried somewhere south of Chicago.

In this ho showed that he was a smooth one and that he had posted himself well regarding some of the people of this" city. He intimated to Mr. Nott that as the place where the monument wns to be erected was some distance from here, that he did not think that the local man would care to undertake the job, and he, Mr, Nott, would Introduce him to the family as being responsible, he would pay him well for Iiis trouble. Mr. Nott told him that he did not know of any such caso in this city as rie referred to.

Then the stranger began to question him, and by his questions left the impression that tin was not quite sure of his ground. This was no doubt done to gain the confidence of Mr. Nott. Finally, after talking the matter over, he left, saying lie would be back in the afternoon, whereupon he was informed that Mr. Nott was going out of town, but that ho would be back about the middle of the afternoon.

When the latter gentleman returned he found the stranger at his place of business. After a short conversation the stranger took from his pocket a letter purporting to be from a monument firm in St. Louis. There was also a draft drawn on Chicago by a St. Louis bank and in favor of himself, McMillan.

The letter stated that the firm was glad to hear that he was meeting with such success at Freeport and that inclosed he find a draft for $65 and that if he wanted any more money ho should send for it. He asked Mr. Nott to go -with him to the bank and identify him. He was told that this was not necessary, for if the bank doubted that he was the party named in the draft, they would, on his paying for the telegram, find out for themselves whether he was telling a straight or not. Ho tried to "evade this of it on one pretext and unoMier ind finally said that if Mr.

Nott vould go with him to the lotel he would soon convince him that lie was telling a straight story, that he would show lim credthtia-'s and his line of designs, etc. Just at this time Mr. Xoft, looked at his watch, and. sou- inor that it was then ten minutes ifter three, told the stranger that It would be of no use for him to go with him, as the banks closed 4t 8 o'clock. The stranger then told him that he would DO around In the morning, but that was the last Mr.

Noitsaw of him. Important Change. S. S. Jourdon Co.
