KEToHUM DIDN'T CATCH EN-.
lSpecialTelegram to the Globe.I
BEAINERD, April 18.-A very lively inter
est has been taken by the citizens of this
place over the arrest and exposure of one
l.. j. Ketchum, who fourished here few
weeks ago and who exercised his arts upon
several of our citizens to an
almost successful issue.
1t seems that the slick tongued gentle
man had selected among others firm en-
gagged in the livery business here by the
name of Stratton & LELAND, gentlemen of
high standing here and who are possessed
of some little means. His scheme was to
trade for their entire livery
stock, composed of horses, harness, sleighs,
carriages, ETC., giving them in exchange,
besides his personal notes, a certain mort
gage, purportiag to be against tract of
land in Kentucky, which his vivid imagin-
alton portrayed to them as the most de-
| sirable tract in the world, covered with
black walnut timber, and Extremely
valuable. He had, no doubt, told the
| tale so often that he we'll believed it him
self, and the way he gave out his CAB was
| enough to deceive the very best posted
man in the world. Our Brainerd firm,
however, after mature deliberation con-
Guided not to accept security upon land
| they had never seen, and which for all
they knew might be entirely worthless, if
even the mortgage itself was not forgery
| or sham and the trade was declared off,
The slippery Ketchum not catching them
| at once desisted from his efforts and soon
after left town. He is represented as one
of the most consummate scoundreis out
| and is as slick as oan we'll be conceived.

brought in a verdict for the defendant.
