him to invest $40 in d tine-keoper worth $3.50.
He WAS informed that the watch was worth $50,
and told to 60 to another auctioneer and havo it
sold and pocket the profits 4 "pigeon ac-
comranied him, and the watch WAS put up and
knocked down for So. While leaving the
place, ssteever for brace faro house

countrymen es place that should be avoided.
The two ruralites were victimized by men who
loiter around the market, and have been unable
to recover their horses or money. The game
played BY the aharpers in both instances was
this They represented that a certain fellow had
a valuable horse which be would not sell for any
money, but that the countryman might be able,
with little persuasion, to purchase
the animal for $50. Tho swind1er wanted the
horse, and would give $40 more than was paid
for him. The countrymen were overioyed at
the prospect Of making $40 30 easily, and bar
gained for the horse and bought it, one giving
