It was a Fat One, and a Coon Walked O With It. The Capture of the Dusky Youth at Atlantic, Towa, Jake Rogers, the well known 'bus man, was the victim Wednesday night of a heavy theft. He has a desk in the read- ing room of the Pacific house, and in the drawer of the desk he placed about £150, Before he had turned the lock and taken out his keya his attention was called else. where and he stepped away, leaving the drawer a big temptation to any one in need of funds. Yesterday morning on opening the drawer ho was naturally sur fprised to find the roll gone. It also ap. od that a colored fellow, a porter about the house, named Farnsworth, was nowhero to be found. Suspicion con. necting him with the taking of the money investigation commenced, and it was soon traced out that Farnsworth had gone away in the night, taking a freight The wires were st at work and a tele gram was received by Mr. Rogers for the yardmaster at Atlantic, saying: **Con- ductor of No. 4 told me you lost some money this morning. Think I can find your man here. There was a colored man came from Weston to Atlantic on V. thisa. m. He is a short man in and had a roll with him,” This answering the description, word was sent back to arrest him, and soon another telegram was received, sagin *‘Marshal Smith, of Des Moin rive in Council Bluffs on No your man.,” It appears that the colored man had at Atlantic bought a ticket for Des Moines. He ‘had also, somewhere, bought a new watch, and when ca had $108. Marshal Smith w way back to Des M ing just taken a deserter bacl aha, and ke took the fellow in charge to bring back to this city. He arrived here with him last night. Farnsworth has worked in the house for several years and was im- plicitly trusted, never having shown any such propensities. The temptation pro. il by 8o careless a leaving of the money proved too much for him. The Veys to the drawer were found in his pocket, as well as the balance of the roll, and the watch he bought C e —— STAR GAZEHN The Police Find but Few Cases to Command Their Attention, The police court has been running very grist of late.
