SwINDL1NG-AN OLD Observation-Disclosures
ing the publicity given to the recent Custom
House swindllng game, there are people who
will etill be swindled by it. Yesterday, two
men entered the beer saloon of Mrs. A. Yollel

mate with three other fellows who had lust
preceded them. One of the two began narra-
ting pitiful tale about his family, and repre-
sented that he had some valuable goods at the
Custom House, to take which out of bond he
needed only 1915. He finally enlisted the
sympathes of Mrs Yokel, and he produced
what purported to be two gold watches, two
silver goblets, and half-a-dozen silver spoon,
which he offered collateral for the money.
One of the three men had S125, which he ten
dered the unfortunate fellow, and Mrs Yokel
advanced the remaining $50. The collateral
was left with her, to be redeemed in a short
time; but Mrs. Yokel has waited in vain for the
temperance of the men. She has lodged COM
plant at the Central Station.
