N e k r o Excursionist* Robbed
While In Charlotte.
fill) Robertson and Ish rhotupm>D,
two Kershaw darkies who
went up to Charlotte on the excursion
lust week, were cleverly
robbed while in the queen city by
Kmauuo! William1* and Ren Hen
(bo son t \r o Clmrlotln nn o -o
crooks. The Observer thus tells
how it was done:
Thompson was''skinned''in a sa
loon. He asked a companion for
a chow of tobacco and when the
man could not give it to him he
was accosted by Williams, who
bowed politely and passed the tobacco
around. Williams then took
Thompson aside, and, showing him
some printed cards, said: "If
you will distribute 100 of these
among your friends in South Ca
rolina you will get a premium
worth $20, a gold aatch, diamond
: c iit i _
ring, or onmn iv v> esson revolver,
(iive ine 50 cents now and von
will get a premium to-day."
Thompson was almost dazed at
the ease with which the premium
could he gotten and while he ex
amined the cards he took oiu a $2
bill. Williams took the money
and handed it to Henderson with
the request that it be changed.
Henderson went off and was not
again soen by Thompson until ho
was arrested. Williams soon left
also, apparently to search for Hen~
derson. But Thompson was not
altogether green and, suspecting
something, he applied to Sergeant
Farrington for aid.
Williams alone played practically
the same trick on Jim Robertaon,
the other excursionist. Soon
after the police were notified, Ofli?
cer Shields arrested Williams, who
gave the name of Charles Jones.
Later Henderson was arrested
and both were tried at a special
session of the police court in the
evening, and will spend CO and 30
days on the gang. _

confined to my bed with disease
of my kidneys. It was so severe
that 1 could not move part of the

medical skill available, but could
get no relief until Foley's Kidoey
