4 Netc S,cindle.

a new swindle, says the St. Peter Tribune,
has come to light, which is being practiced on
business men. A geenteel appearing man
claiming to represent Chicago and other West
ern wholesale houses travels about to collect
information of the solidity and business stand
ing of the country dealers. Several of the
business men very obligingly furnished him
with figures, which, after careful reckoning,
he said showed that they were well established,
and wanted to know if they had any objection
to signing their names as sort of verificat6n,
which polite invitation is complied with.
In due time the business man is notified that
his note is in a certain bank for collection.
When he accommodatingly signed his name to
the statement" of his business standing, he
innocently gave his note. Changers are not
the only unsuspecting victims of swindlers.
