e ——————— e NARCUS VISITED LINCOLY Bwindler Who Operated in Omaha Detected | at the Btate Oapital, | EXPOSE IN THE BEE DID THE WORKI e Found His Game praska—Lincoln Bkips for Denver Wh Was Up In N borers Take Action 1y, LINCOLN, April 28.—(Special to The Bee.)—It was not until the arrival of The Omaha Bee this morning that several people learned for the first time that they-had had a narrow escape from being victimized by the same smooth individual who bilked a number of the business men in Omaha under the name of Marcus. The news of the fel- low's success reached Lincoln last evening, | but a careful search of the hotels falled to unearth any traces of a man named Marcus who claimed to represent Barnum & Bailey's show. It was learned to how- ever, that he did visit Lincoln and that he undertook to play the same game here that he worked so successfully in Omaha. He went to the Capitol hotel and registered as B, L. Marks. He represented himself to the clerk as an agent for Ringling Bros. circus, and arranged for the accomodation for several hundred people connected with that company. inasmuch as Ringling Bro: show I8 to visit Lincoln next month and as it was further known that Gran Ensign and nineteen men were busily engaged billing the city snd courtry for the show, Marks' story went down very easily. Later In the day the clerk of the hotel saw an order for a number of tickets to Barnum'’s circus, which the alleged A ks had given to a Rock Island employe. The order was signed by B. L. Kohn, although the clerk saw Marks sign the name. He at once compelled Marks or Kuhn or Marcus, or whatever his name was, to pay his bill. “he fellaw then transferred his patronage to the Lindell, where he staid all night without registering. This morning he went to the Hotel Ideal, where he gave his name as Dan Ringling, and was negotiat- ing quarters for twenty-five of the star pe formers of his show when Sol Oppenheimer happened to drop in. Oppenheimer had just finished reading The Bee and dropped onto the fellow in an instant. He slipped out and telephoned for the police, but before an offi- cer arirved the fellow disappeared. He has not been found and it is believed that he took the noon train for Denver. As far as known he failed to secure any money from the people he approached In this city. ENDORSED THE OMAHA BEE. The regular weekly meeting of the Lincoln Labor club was held last evening and Danish hall was packed to the doors. The club now numbers nearly 600 members, all belonging to recognized labor unions and all being in employment. It is a warm sympathizer with the Industrial movement, and during the past week has held three open air mectings at which the attendance ranged from 1,000 to 2,600. At the meeting last night the fol- lowing resolutions were adopted: Whereas, The corporation press of the city of Lincoln and other cities have lost no’ opportunity to sneer at and belittle laboring men and their cause at present and in the past ; 3 Regolved, That' the Lincoln Evening News and The Omaha Bee have the hearty thanks of this club for the fair treatment this club and other labor and industrials have received at their hands, both in mention of our meetings and editorially. An_amendment to include the Omaha ‘World-Herald in the resolution was voted down with considerable emphasis. A face- tious member also offered a resolution ex- tending the thanks of the club to the | Lincoln Journal for its “‘sympathy” with the laboring classes. It was received with jecrs and hisses and then withdrawn amid a chorus of ‘‘rats” from every part of the hall. LOUTE MEYER AT HOME AGAIN. Loule Meyer, the Lincoln business man, whom business troubles last summer drove partially insane, was brought home from New York last evening by his friends. He 15 being cared for at a private house. The trip seemed to fmprove his mind, and his friends hope that it wiil not be necessary to place him In the insane hospital. There 18 but little hope of his recovery, as the ablest physicians in New York pronounce his malady softening of ‘the brain, and all agree that he Is beyond hope of recovery. Mr. Meyer has a large number of friends in Lincoln who regret his misfortune most sin- cerely. Ho was for many years one of the leading business men of the clty, and last August was forced into bankruptcy by the stress of bad business and poor collections. THREATENED A POLITICIAN. George W. Blake, last year the chairman of the Independent state central committee, came into Justice McCandlesy' office this morning and made afidavit that his life was In danger and that the man who had Inspired him with fear was James C. Kramer. Both mon claim jurisdiction over somo lots In Blodgett's Park addition, «nd Blake I8 In possessicn. Kramer has several times threatened to destroy, the garden truck already planted on the lots in dis- pute. and from threatening the cabbage plants he commenced to threaten to take Blake's life. Blake swore that he had every reason to believe that Kramer meant to carry his threats into execution, and asked that he (Kramer) be arrcsted and bound over to keep the peace. Kramer was arrested this afternoon and placed under $1,000 bonds. TRAVELING MAN IN TROUBLE. The county judge this morning issued a warrant for the arrest of W. L. Hall, a well known traveling man, living in this city, on complaint of his wite. Hall and his wife have been involved in some domes- tic difficulties, and some_ time ago he drew out of the American Exchange National bank of this city some money which she claimed belonged exclusively to hersedf.
