A New Swindllng Dodge.

For about a week past a few rough.
looking sharpers from New York have
been operating in this vicinity, swindling
the farmers by what is known as the cloth
dodge. They went around by twos, and
played their game in the following man.
ner: One Of these two would 60 to house
and offer for sale piece Of cloth at very
low price. If he sold the cloth there his
pal would reach the house soon after he
left it, and ask the inmates whether man
had sold them any cloth. When the cloth
was shown to the second conner, he would
instantly claim it, saying that it had been
stolen from him, and the purchasers, to
avoid being implicated In any trouble,
would Of course surrender the cloth, and
lose what they had paid for it. 1t is said
that these sharpers made Newburg their
headquarters, but carefully RETAINED from
practicing their little game here. Police
Officer Andrews has been watching them,
not liking their looks, but not being able
to bring anything directly against them
until today. But they left tewn for New
York last night, leaving, it is said,
some unpaid bills behind them. If ex-
changes will refer to the "dark ways" Of
this gang Of New York gentlemen, who
live by their wits, at other peoples ex-
pense, farmers in other sections may be
put on their guard against the swindlen.-
