Another SwIndie,

Every year, back in the Western States, some
sharper starts up with new swindlc, to catch
unsuspecting honest farmers. AS fast as one
variety of fraud becomes exploded by the pa
pers, another is ready to take its place. The
following is the latest:
The Davenport Democrat warns its readers
to beware of a huge swindle which is working
its way INTO this state. We give warning that
our readers may be on the lookout. The plan
is to offer to give farmer fifty rods of the
new fence, if he will put it up along the road
where 1t will be seen and serve as an adver-
tisement, and the farmer is to have the sole
agency of the town, and be paid handsome
commission upon all orders he may take. The
farmer accepts the proposal and the agent tells
him that will take two coils of wire for which
the farmer signs an order In u few days a
stranger comes along to collect bill for wire
fencing and wishes the immediate payment,
The farmer explains that he put up the fence
as an advertisement and was to have it free.
He was told that he was to have fifty rods free,
but he has ordered outright 49, and must pay
for this at four cents foot. If the farmer is
tmid he settles with the chap somehow, per
haps giving his note for 800, to pay for the
wire he did not order. Then he finds that he
has 200 rods of wire which will only make %
rods Of fence, four strands high, and in due
time learns that his note has been discounted
at the bank This swndlc has struck Illinois,
and will soon reach Iowa, perhaps. The dan.
ger lies in your attaching your signature to any
such order Other swindlcS are bent in this
same clinchinr method.
