The number Of so-called railroad enter
prises that have been engaged in, by which
people have been duped into the loss OF
thousands Of dollars, cannot be mentioned.
The number is large. One of the favoIitS
methods OF swindles has been 10 start a
corporation, get people to subscribe to the
Concern. and thus work the business up 10
: cent from which bonds may be issued.
The bonds are then taken to some city, and
there, by the aid OF men who engage in such
crooked ways, the bonds are sold for what
evs. they will bring. Whatever they sell
fC- is clear gaia, for the parties working the
concern have never had a dollar in the en-
terprise, and never intend to have. The
whole foundation upon which 1t has rested
has been the subscriptions of the people
along the proposed routes, and the pay
ments made on said subscriptions. People
have often thu. been beguiied info loaning
then credit, and TO the Civ ing of their honest
means TO the schemes OF INSCRIPTIONS men.

question now is, have the people between
