id recently in Fort Worth, Texas,
charged wita operating a confi
dence game. '
Although not commenting at
tength upon the arrest, Gabel con
armed details of the' swindle Which
were printed in The Argus' Not. 11,
when the confidence game was dis
covered.. ' .
Gable was counting money in his
saloon when a man who said he
was Charles Goodrich, told .him
that confiscated liquor was to be
obtained .cheap in cnicago. iney
made arrangements to meet , in
Chicago and complete 'the deal.
' They met at the Hotel La Salle
and Gabel's story to the Chicago
detective bureau, as it was related
at the time, follows: f "V-
l'lay the Market. , ,
"I met him in the La Salle with
another man who had a government
star," said Gabel. "After 'a drink
of good whisky, they suggested
lunch. As we sat down to the table
Goodrich apparently tound a
pocketbook on the chair. It had
some cards, money, telegrams, and
the name of J. Davidson in it. We
asked the clerk if such a man lived
in the hotel and on being informed
that he did we went to his room.
"Davidson seemed overjoyed at
finding his purse. He offered us
each a $100 bill, which, we refused.
He said he was a board of trade
man. Goodrich asked him for a
tip on a good buy.
"He readily gave us a tip and
later gave us other tips. We pool
ed our money and cleaned up. I
put in , $3,000 and we won about
$38,000 they told me.
"We were all sitting in my room
,in the hotel yesterday when a man
who purported to be a messenger
from the board of trade came in. He
said the board, had understood we
wouldn't have been allowed to play
and that they would have to give
our money back. The man also
said that if we had lost the board
would have had to make good our
losses. '
(els Money- From Home.
"So after he had been promised
his money we arranged to play
further and lose. Goodrich and
Davidson said they could get a lot
or money and I said I could get
tome more. We were going to lose
and make the board repay us, and
we were going to lose the $38,000
we had won. It was the only way
we couia get it.
"I went home and got . $3,500
more and gave it 'to tbem. That
made $5,500 in all. Just as I handed
it to them the telephone rang and
I went to answer it.
"It was one of their men. of
course. When I hune no I found
the room vacant. They had gone
with my money." ' '

evening at the Masonic tern pie. It
will be a colonial ball. This will

from the responses in the matter of
ticket purchases, tomorrow's event
will undoubtedly prove the pre

The colonial ball takes the place
of the Washington day party that
it has been the custom of the lodge
to sponsor in past years." Colonial
costumes will predominate, but this
form of attire is not required, cos
tumes being optional with those
who attend. . ,

The only sure way to get rid of
dandruff is to dissolve It, then you
destroy it entirely. . To do this, get
about four ounces of ordinary
liquid arvon; apply it at night when
retiring; . use enough to moisten
the scalp and1 rub it In gently with
the finger tips. .
Do this tonight and by morning,
most it not all, of your dandruff
will be gone, and three or four
more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace of It no mat
ter how much, dandruff you may
have. 1
You will find, too, that all Itch
ing and digging of the scalp will
stop at once, and your hair will be
fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and
soft and look and feel a hundred
times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. It is inexpensive and
never fails to do the work. (Adv.)
