They usually went out \ party of three and there was scarcely a during their stay in the city that they | did not turn u trick of more or less import- | ance As nearly as can be ascertained they came 1o Omaha six weeks ago and rented a° hou in the lower part of town. They contented themselves with looking over the city and getting their bearings during the first two weeks, and then went to work in earnest They were frequently scen at Wonderland and on one or two occasions occupied a box at one of the more pretentious theaters Spotting The One night last week thie one of the boxcs at Wonder nearly succeeded in making a good haul b fore the evening was over, A well known | young business man of North Platte, a part- | ¢ Game. »f them were in and, and very ner of an ex-sergeant-at-arms of the United Sta senate, was in the audience with a party of friends, and his handsome diamond | pin and watch chain attracted the of the female crooks, After the performanc ttention wd as they went out on the street, one of the women i hed him and, pretending acquaintanc d permission 1o introduce him to her friends. The ceremony performed, the | woman engaged him in conversation while | one of her companions deftly abstracted t diamond from his shirt froni and the other transferred his watch and chain to her own | pocket. But th victim was looking for | some_ such pro and at this point | quietly requested them to veturn his valu- | ables. The thieves saw that they were out- | witted and handed back the jewels with a | | | | parting volley of profanity that did not rd with their genteel appearance. work was so neatly done that none of the 10 were standing within ten feet of v suspected that & robbery was in | progress, and had not their victim been on the watch for some such trick he would never huve discoverca his loss until too late. The favorite game of the pickpockets was what is known among the talent as the switch. ‘They would provide themselves with a roll of paper with a $1bilt wrapped around it, and, after making the acquaint auce of their prospective victim, one of them | would playfully snaten a roll of vills f his pocket and immediately restore it. chances were that he would think nothing of the circumstance at the time, and after the women had left him di money over that the had been adroitly “switched,” and his pocket contained the bogus roll s own money had gone to pay the rent of his Lite companions. A well known sporting man was relieved of a roll of bills containing $250 by this method last week, and a traveling man named Burdorfer sent nearly $100 over the 8 route. At least a dozeu similar rob- beries are known to have been perpetrated by the same people, but the reluctance of most men to admit that they have been ndled makes ivdificalt for the police to make a case aguinst them, Frightened from Town. Detectives Savage i Dempsey noticed the women on the street every day and con- sidered it worth while to keep an eye on them. Thoy succeeded in tracing them to the house they occupi nd Sunday found one of their victims, who was suaded to sign a complaint against them Their haunt was visited that night for the purpose of placing the entire outfit under arrvest, but the birds haa taken warning and flown. ‘T'he detectives were not long in dis- covering that the five women had taken a train for the northwest Saturday night and are supposed to have gone to Minneapolis and St. Paul to continue their work One of the men who were with the women in this city was Jim Kane, who has been un- 1y known to the local police for sev. 3 He has also disappeared and has probably gone to join his associates in some other city where the sleuths are not on s hot a trail.* None of the women have ever been scen in this part of the west before, but, their work proves them to be some of the y and if most skillful workers in the countr they ever return they will be loc ; are supposed to be that has been operating in § other cities on the coast during the past six months and they have been marvelously successful in eluding the police of those cities.
