A FEW weeks ago a gen,lemanly

a FEW weeks ago gentlemansy
appearing man approached Mr. Wm.
Bsuoy, living about four miles north
west Of Dodgeville, who was busily
engaged in piowiug, and after pass
ing the time of day, etc, inquired Of
the last named gentleman what he
was paying for farm machinery, and
after being informed replied that he
was connected with firm that YVES
going to establish maehipe ware
house at Dodgeville and would sell
all kinds Of farm machinery 80 per
cent. cheaper than the prices given
oy Mr.. Benoy. For instance, he
would sell barbed wire fence for 5
cents pound He warte 4 a few
farmers, one in each town in the
county, to distribute some circulars
for the new concern, aud would like
Mr.. Benoy to do what he could in
that line. He was told that Mr.
Benoy would have nothing to do
with the matter; yet, persisting,
finally obtained consent to address
to him few circulars and fifty feet
of fence wire, to distribute among
his friends as samples. For this he
would send, gratis, some hundred
feet of wire.
The stranger drew from his pocket
a common postal card and inquired
as to Mr.. Benoy's address aud the
way be spelled his name. He was
told, but finally gave it up, and ask
ed that it be written for him. This
was done aud the stranger went his
way. \ short time ago one of Mr..
Benoy's neighbors took from the eX-
press Office at this place a package
for him with charge of twenty five
ceuts upon it Upon opening it, a
small lot of wire was fourG which
was probably some of the wire made
at the "Chicago Hollow Wire Barb
Fence Factory" which the stranger
of a short time before had repre-
sented himself TO be the agent Of.
Two weeks ago, two meD, one
claiming to be a lawyer from Prairie
du Chen, called upon Mr.. Benoy,
and presented an order for certain
amount OF fence wire, and promise
to pay therefor the sum OF Sli8.00.
This was signed by Mr.. Benoy, and
was the postal card upon which he
wrote his address a short time before.
The game was "tumbled to, and the
"lawyer from Prairie du CHEN or
dered to "clear." This be would not
