PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 31.-A special dis.
patch TO the Times from Atlantic City. N.
j., says: Charles Fields, ST., who is over
IS years of age, and who has been in bust
ness in Philadelphia over fifty years, was
to-day victimized ont of 50. 500 BY q brace
Of bunco steerers in Atlantic City. Mr..
Field, and son, who is associated with his
father in business at No. 242 Market street,
Philadelphia, as general agents OF Clark's
spool cotton, have cottages adjoining each
other on Illinois avenue. nearly opposite
the Trsymore House. Mr.. Fields, ST.,
took u stroll after dinner, when he met q
young man of good address, who, after q
curteous hand-shsking, stated that he was
an old friend of his; that he had been a
clerk for the Pennsylvania National Bank,
and since his resignation had been abroad.
The man told old Mr.. Fields that be had
brought several fine pictures from Europe.
which he would be pleased to have him in
spect. Fields accompanied him to q
house, where he was introduced to a game
played on q board with numbers on it aud
with spinning arrow presumably q sweat
board. Two other gentlemen were intro
duced, and they played the game, winning
over 500 each. MIR. Fields was invited to
Join the game, and he lost oyer 500, but
continued to play. After playing some
time the bunco men cody asked the old
gentleman for his check for SO, 500, drawn
to himself as collateral for q grand prize be
had drawn on the swestboard. The check
was filled out. and Mr.. Fields signed it.
The check was on the Pennsylvania Ma
tional Bank Of Philadelphia. Later in the
day Fields, realizing that he had been
swindled, started out to find the house,
but was unable to find il. It is thought
here that the bunco man has carried the
check TO New York and negotiated it at a
large discount.
