preferred against him by one A. Niggers, a
German Of this city, Robert F. Winslow, IN
attorney at Law in Larmon Block, Was arrested
BY officer !. H. Williams and brought before
Justice Millken
From the representations of Wiggers, d sim.
pic minded aud ignorant man, it would seem
that some two months since lie being out OF
work and out Of money, decided to sell even at
sacri6cc farm owned By him near ki1bourn
Cily, Wisconsin, On the Wisconsin river and
near the line Of the La Crosse and Milwaukee
Railroad, containing Il little over one hundred
and forty-four acres and variously valued ut
from Sl500 to 10000.
After some enquiry Wiggcrs was directed to
and bud an interview with Wins!ow, Us the se-
suit Of several meetings, disposed Of the pro-
perty to the latter, giving quit claim deed, re-
ceising therefor m agreement Of Winslow to
meet a mortgage Of about two hundred dollars
on the farm, also, a. pr ins<ntory BY Winslow,
four hundred and sixty-thrce dollars worth Of
jewelry, forty rolls Of wall paper. at three dol
lars per roll, aud $4,000 in bonds Of California
rancho, with 10 per cent. coupons.
THIS latter Niggers had no difficulty in as
certaining 10 be bogus and worthless, and after
SOME talk, ,Winslow consented to exchange tfor
the equivalent sum Of s290o, in stock Of the
sturgeon Bay and Lake Michigan Canal Co.,"
purporting to hare been chartered in the Wis
consIn Legislature Of 1856, the name Of Robert
F.Wiuslow liulself appearing filled in US sccre-
tary. In the sale Of this stock Mr. Wiyycrs
was equally unfortunate, aud for the good real
son that it was equally worthless with the
other. To make his atIairs worse the pawn-
brokers refused to loan him ten dollars
OIL lis four hundred dollars worth Of jcwclry
and !.e could find offers to job his wall paper at
no figure more favorable than ten cents per
roll, though billed BY him to Mr.. Wiuslow at *3
per roll.
Deeming this manner Of dissolring farm Of
l9 acres into thin mist, rather Illegal, and l1av
ing for the past si1 weeks in vain sought rcsti-
tuition ut the hands Of Mr. Winslow, . warrant
was issued oil the victims application rs above.
Mr. Winslow informed the officer making the
arrest, that in this State lawyers are exempt
from arrest" which, however, fortunately for
Wiggers, has proved not to be the case, on
further examination Of "the sfatrrts."
Mr. Wislow was held to bail in 1000 to ap-
pear for examination before Justice 3lillikcn TN
Saturday morning.
