IDA KEELEY’S EXPERIENCZ WITH A WILY DEBTOR. INVITED OUT FOR A “TIME.” *% Mrs. Ella McDonald, Who Caught “Mr. Whiskers,” Alleged to Be a Peceiver. Mrs. Ida Keeley and a lawyer called on Col. Dick Johnson Friday morning and in| asked for a warrant charging Mrs. Ella McDonald ith burglary, larceny, fraud and using the mails with intent to defraud. Mrs. Keeley lives at 907 Tyler street and lets rooms for a living. Mrs. McDonald Was a tenant of hers until three weeks ago, when she left, Mrs, Keeley says, to live With a man she called Mr. Whiskers at 3500 Olive street. When she departed Mrs. McDonald left two large trunks as security for a $12 board bill. McDonald until last Monday, when she re- oo a letter from Mrs. McDonald which read: “Meet me at Barr’s at 2 p. m. Tuesday and we'll go out and have a time. I’ve tee Old Whiskers’ leg in great shape and ave lots of dough. I'll pay that $12 and then I'll spend a few other dollars. You ought to see my new beaver coat.”’ Mrs. Keeley went to Barr’s Tuesday after- noon, and after she had waited several hours and had not seen Mrs. McDonald, she went home. ¢ She found that her house had been br¢@ken into and that Mrs. McDonald’s trunks had been carried out. She surmised, that the letter making the appointment was a decoy and that Mrs. Mc- Donald had taken her trunks. Col. Johnson did not issue the warrant as he did not think Mrs. Keeley had evidence sufficient to convict Mrs. McDonald of tak- ing the trunks. CONSUL BARTHOLOW FINED. Message From Mayence Concerning a St. Louisan’s Fight. ‘A dispatch from ;Mayence, Germany, States that Perry Bartholow, a St. Louisan who is United States Consul at that point, has been fined 200 marks for assaulting a member of his household. Several months ago dispatches from Ger- many stated that Mr. Bartholow was being prosecuted by a former servant. The servant had become impudent, it was said. Mr,.Bar- tholow, who always had a hasty temper, s*ruck 'the man on the head with a revolver, knocking him down. Later it: was said that Mr. Bartholow had settled the trouble and thet the prosecution had been dropped. The authorities.at Mayence, it was staved, had exonerated the Consul. Perry Bartholow is well known in St. Louls and those who were intimate with him tell stories of his quick temper and readiness to take up a quarrel. He is a son of Gen, Bartholow and a son-in-law of ex-Gov. Thomas CC. Fletcher. Mrs. Bar- tholow, formerly Miss Ella (€®etcher, a reigning society belle in her day, is now in resided over by Mrs. +St. Louis on a visit to her mother, IN HIS SERVANT’S NAME. Alleged Location of Some of F. W. Heimann’s Property. Mrs. Annie C. A. Griebel filed an attach- ment sult for $5,100 against Frederick W. Heimann, a real estate dealer, who was for- merly connected with Farrington & Co., 715 Chestnut street. Rassieur & Buder, attorneys. for Mrs. Griebel, state that the money is due upon notes, secured by deeds of trust that have proven worthless. They state that for some time they have endeavored to locate prop- erty belonging to Heimann, and have fin- ally found some, the deed to which is in the name of a maid servant employed by Hei- mann. BRADY’S LETTER TO BRADY. How the Astute John Thomas Had His Case Continued. The astute Mr. John Thomas Brady awoke Friday morning with a trial for the non- payment of his saloon license staring him in the face. Since Capt, O’Malley was un- kind enough to chase away the denizens of Hop Alley things have not been coming John Thomas’ way, and the payment of his license has been a matter of very grave consideration for him. He took: so much time about it that Excise Commissioner Bell was forced to do a little considering upon the question, with the result that he secured a summons against the wily Brady commanding him to appear in the First District Police Court and show cause why he should not put up the necessary stuff. As Judge Thomas Hairless Peabody sits on the bench of this tribunal and as John Thomas has-expressed himself rather freely on his opinion of this magistrate’s charac- ter, the saloonkeeper had no particular de- sire to face the solon of the Four Courts basement. Hence it behooved him to scratch Kis cranium-and bethink himself of a way to postpone the clutching of the law. ature deliberation resulted in John Thomas boarding a streét car early Friday morning and hieing himself to the Hyde Park Brewery, whose beer Mr. Brady deals ovt in ample &chooners across his bar. He found President Marquard Forster in his office and without ado asked of him the loan of a sheet of the brewery stationery Having been accommogated John Tho & bestrode the bookkeepe high stool and in- dited the following letter to himself: ‘Jan. 29, 1896—Mr. Brady: In regard to your case coming up to-day in court for non-payment of license, ‘have case contin- ued, as Mr. Forster is in New York and will not be back until next week.”’ After a moment's admiration of the Eng- —— .
