Among others who got struck was for a streak of pay dirt was Thomas Whittikind, an aged farmer out Burton way, who gave his note without interest for $1,000, receiving in return some beautifuuly engraved certificates with big seals in the lower left-hand corner, which gave him interest in a mine of some sort out in the golden west. to negotiate this note, Hyatt made it an interesting- bearing security and sold it. Later Whittikind lost his mind, had a conservator appointed and passed away at St. Mary's hospital, where his wife, now an old lady, is a patient. William Bunte is conservator for her and has steadfastly refused to pay the note or interest all the time maintaining a quiet search for the smooth salesman who strung the old gentleman. Lately he was arrested in the city of Boston, and tonight Sheriff Thomas will leave for that city of culture to taje charge of him and return him to Quincy. Others who will be pleased to met Mr. Hyatt are J. Will Lemley, the frocer and several other Quincy gentlemen. They have no hope of getting their money back, but want to hear him explain how it was that his irresistible dream of wealth went up in the air.

McKinney, a saloon- keeper at 709 North 5th St., enjoys the doubtful distinction of being the only one of the 140 retail liquor dealers who so openly violated the law requiring dram shops to be closed on election day as to be caught in the act. He has been arrested for the violation of the law and the case is set for hearing in the police court tomorrow forenoon. Mike and Tom Sinnott were to have been tired in the police court this forenoon for creating a disturbance at the George Mass saloon, North 8th St., last Friday night, but must have been busy, as they did not appear in court to face the judge. The cases were continued until tomorrow to give the defendants the benefit of the doubt as to their absence being intentional contempt of court. Frank Clay, the little black man is accused of keeping money belonging to another and with misbehavior at the Elks' club room when the Elks weren't there had his case continued for a week. Emil Stoneking, Frank Campbell and F.L. Hodge were charged with drunkenness by Officer Nieloy and each fined $2 and costs. Frank Geise and Henry Miller were charged with disturbing the peace by fighting on the street, the complaint being made by officer Nieloy, and each was fined with costs $5.75. J.W. Vincent was charged with striking Jake Wolfe, a cripple and knocking him down last night and was fined $5 and costs. He claimed not to know of the crippled condition of the boy when he struck him.
