Daily Davenport Democrat

STILL AT IT.—Col. Geo. J. Benjamin, the confidence man, who, a short time since, swindled the Rodman House, at Rock Island by representing that he was from the well-known wholesale liquor house of Messrs. Mulligan & Co., of St. Louis, has since victimized the Tepper House, at Keokuk, by the same game. He left the Tepper House in double quick time after being detected by a private citizen, leaving sundry bills for board, livery and champagne unpaid. He claims to have been a colonel of a New York regiment; wears long, black hair combed back of his ears; is dark-complexioned; has an insinuating address; is a good talker, with any amount of impudence. He travels mainly on his "cheek," and does a pretty successful business.
