Bridles and pulls out.
Took the bits in his
Teeth.
About six weeks ago, a seedy
looking young num with letters of
strong recommendation from sev
eral newspapers, arrived in the
city, and said he was “strapped”
both for grub and work.
The Hustler of Rome gave
him a chance to earn a suit of
clothes, and paid for a week’s
bond for him. Neal was a rustler,
and for the three weeks he was
canvassing for this paperh e “kept
going.”
His new clothes spoiled him and
he went to loafing, and lying and
playing pool. He had a plausible
tongue and made bills “hither and
yon.”
Last night lie went to Mr. J. S.
Henderson, the Broad Street har
ness man, and represented to him
that he had sold two heavy blind
bridles to Mr. Joe Robinsou. the
up town Livery man and saloon
keeper.
He said Mr. Roberson would
give him $4,50 for them. Mr. Hen
dersen instructed him to take the
bridles and collect the money aud
he would allow him a small com
mission for the sale.
Neal, has been around Mr. Hen
derson’s placeof business a num
ber of times and said to Mr. Hen
derson: “All right, let me wear
your overcoat up to the stable; I
will be back in half an hour with
the money.”
He put on a S2O overaoat, took
the blind bridles —and he went on
a bridle tour, “and he never earn*
back.” ,
He seld the bridles and got the
money aud skipped.
At 6: o'clock he cam'’ to Tmk
Hustler of Rome office laat night
to bid the management an affec
tionate good by, saying his people
in Chicago h»d wired him a ticket
to come home on.
This morning Mr Henderson put
Chief bhropabire on his trail, aud
the wires have been kept hot today
but no tidings have been received
of the man who “bridled' tLe
other man’s wealth.
Perhaps be took the bit in his
teeth and is still running awaj.
