"Detective" Norris

A dispatch from Mnttoon, III., states
that John T. Norris, a detective of
Sprlngtield, O., recovered for a brace
of alleged bunko men property
tbey left behind when frigh
tened away from nn in
tended victim in that town. Norris'
conduct In this matter Is regarded as
one of the most unusual incidents on
record. It amounts to nothing less than
a detective helping alleged swindlers
out of a tight place.
The bunko men gai p their names ns
C. H. Howe, of St. Louis, and D. 0.
Clark, of. Chicago. A we,ek ago they
visited Mattoon, nnd It Is claimed
their operations were bj the three
tnrd monte sjstem. It Is alleged thnt
they attempted to fleece Ernest Ho
mnnn, a rich farmer out of 0,000. just
the same amount lost by Mr. Huston
Kepler, In n three- card monte game.
Only by the merest mischance did flielr
plan fall, when their Intended victim
was in fiont of the bank where the
money wns deposited. Officers got on the
trail of the men and they were obliged
to deenmp so precipitately thnt nil
their possesions fell Into the hnnds
of the police.
Among their possessions were ?300
In money nnd nearly 100 letters, tell
ing of designs on wenlthy farmers in
Illinois, Ohio, Nebraska nnd Iowa.
