g- The ingenuity of rural beats has evolved
another method of swindling the unsuspecting
farmer. The swindler dresses as an itinerant
clergyman, professedly on Bible distributing
tour, asks for lodging or meal and insists
on paying for il, on the pretext that the board
that sends him out requires him to do so and to
produce vouchers therefor. Then he pays the
farmer a quarter, gets him to sign receipt and
departs. The receipt turns up later on at the bank
as note for one hundred dollars and twenty-five
cents, the dollars being inserted before the quar-
ter after the fellow has gone In at least one re-
spect it is the same old dodge as oil the other
lodges. The farmer is asked to sign something.
This feature is common to most of the swindles of
travelling scamps. But farmers who read the
newspapers do not sign anything in these times
for people whom they do not know.
