In regards to Post # 1, Joe Chetcuti has this short article to share. There were two words in the article that were difficult to transcribe.

Dr. Tumblety Strikes a Combine

Dr. Francis Tumblety is stopping at Hot Springs. He writes that there seems to be a regular "combine" there against everybody who brings money into the town. The hotel men have combined to charge him from $2 to $25 per day, the baths have combined and make him pay $10 for twenty-one baths, the doctors have a combination price of $3 every time he calls, the chemists agree on $1, as the least price for a simple prescription, but, worse than all, the gamblers have combined against alien(?) sports and every highgraded(?) gamester who drops into a little game is pretty apt to walk home.

Hi Robert

You may recall that a little over a year later, Tumblety was reported to have been the victim of a burglary in Hot Springs.

Arkansas Gazette, Little Rock, Arkansas, 19 April 1891

COUPLE OF BURGLARIES
The Plateau Hotel Guests Worked For $8,000
Special to the Arkansas Gazette.

HOT SPRINGS, April 18. Thieves went through the Plateau Hotel last night, securing about $8,000 in money and diamonds, Judge A.M. Duffie, of this city, and that well-known mysterious individual, Dr. Frank Francis Tumblety, being the victims. The thieves secured a gold watch and a considerable sum of money from Judge Duffie, and $2,000 in cash and diamonds valued between $5,000 and $7,000 from Dr. Tumblety. It was well known that Dr. Tumblety had the money and valuables and carried them on his person, besides valuable papers. No clue to the identity of the thieves.

These robberies were part of a rash of burglaries in Hot Springs in 1891 and the Pinkertons were reported to have been called in to investigate the crimes (http://www.casebook.org/press_reports/search.html?cx=000723952817035431763%3Aucomtzxdr00&q=Hot+Springs&cof=FORID%3A11).
