SwindIe Exposed.-For some weeks
past, vague rumors have been circulated
in this community regarding nefarious
swindle that was being perpetrated.
These rumors have now assumed some
positive shape and will no doubt as the
details and facts become known make a
decided sensation in this county. It
appears that a number of persons have
been quietly informed that an over issue
of money had been made by persons
connected with the Treasury depart
ment at Washington, and that the aid
of discreet persons, was needed to get it
into circulation. They were told that
by investing 500, or any larger amount
they would receive double the amount
in this fraudulent issue. The mony was
paid to confederate at Harrisburg, and
the package purporting to be the stolen
money was placed in the hands of the
victim. This when opened was found
to contain old paper cut in the shape of
of bills, or some other equally worthless
stuff We have list of quite number
of persons, some resident in this county,
and some in Juniata who were willing
to share in the stolen money, but we
withhold the names for the present,
until the matter can be further investi-
gated, and till the list is more complete.
Among the names we notice many who
have stood high in the estimation of the
people, and from whom better things
could have been expected.
