WE have recently heard of new
swindle which, although the swindled
parties were not farmers, illustrates the
danger Of dealing with strangers. In
this case there was genuine sale Of
land, the party buying 100 acres of poor
land for which he paid $500 in cash.
He then made q sham sale of it to q
confederate for go, 900. Five thousand
of this is supposed to be paid in cash,
and notes are given for the remaining
$1,000, secured by mortgage on the
land, and the mortgage is regularly re-
corded. These notes are then turned
over to third party who goes to some
city bank asks for loan of perhaps
$1,000, and offers the notes and mort
cages as collateral security. The Off
GERS Of the bank telegraph to the
Recorder Of the county and get reply
that such mortgage Is recorded, and
they let him have the money. Ofcourse
the notes and mortgages are never
called for, and when the bank under
takes to foreclose, the trick is discov-
ercd.-Ohi0 Farmer.
