A TALE OF WOE.
An Organization of Slippery
Tongued RascaIs.

IOnSueO RaSCalS.
So much for the history of the par
ticular charge in question. Now for a
bit of proof of the general work of this
Infamous band. To say that 800 per-
sons in st. Paul alone would rise up in
concerted prosecution of the thieves IS
putting it lighter than vigorous search
would bear. The victims are fast COM
ing to the front, and each hour can be
heard the sad tale of some ignorant
dupe who has succumbed to the subter-
tuge of these designing swindlers. 1t
seems that they reared their organiza-
ton for wholesale theft with the most
calloused beats and slippery-tongued
rascals that the human dumping ground
could grow. 1t is an interesting study
to a close observer to note how fortified
the gang made itself. 1t had dozen
men or more, all of whom were nOtarieS
and could acknowledge each others for
geries. They had several ShySte'r law
yers who will soon board at Mr.. Beams
hotel: they had real estate men who
held themselves out as strangers and
disinterested parties to the victims di-
rected to them for advice; they had
hustlers who constantly watched for
teams with sale signs on them, and fol-
lowing these up, a trade was struck of
almost any shade of black villainy;
they had among them several women,
who took this worthless Bald Eagle and
South Duluth and aerial property in
their names, etc., and lastly they had a
brace of sharp, skillful forgers, through
whose Jim-the-Penman act. the people
were f1eeced, from the poor ignorant
owner of a trowel to the largest corpora
tions of our city. In
THE RYAN HOTEL
alone, and among its attaches, it is by
some of such acknowledged that
Thaden, Tall and other members of the
gang, successfully done up as many as
twenty victims, the sum total
of the steal aggregating considerable.
On Sept. 1S, 1883, William Bergen, the
proprietor of cigar store and billiard
room. was swindled out Of his business
by August G. Esklund, the Swede, for
whom the police are now looking. This
deal was effected in the usual form.
Esklund, or any other member of the
gang for that matter, would approach
susceptible individual and offer to ne
gotiate the sale or trade of his business.
If the owner of such property or busi-
ness lent willing ear to propositions,
the ''gang's" representative always had
enough to offer. A mortgage upon
non-existing real estate, made by
one conspirator to another, was
the usual consideration offered.
Very often forged notes and
deeds for really valuable property
were given for the unsuspecting trad
er's property which was sold as soon as
the gang got it's hand on it. Mr.. Ber-

sUCCOR FOR THE NEEDY.

Money Subscribed for Johnstown
Sufferers VIII. Be Given. to the
Poor.
HARRISBURG, Pa, June 27.-At a
meeting of the flood relief committee
this afternoon the following was issued:
To the Public: That the donors of the
funds in the hands Of the flood relief COM
are to be disposed of, and that the expectant
recipients OF the same may not form errO-
neous views of, and foster improper expecta-
tons for the same, it is now officially de-.
c1ared and announced that the following
principles shall govern the distribution of
relief:
First-In that the said fund is in the nature
OF charity to the needy, and not as gen.
erai indemnity for losses sustained.
Second-That distribution per capita
alike to the rich and poor, and alike to all
sufferers, no matter what their needs or
extent Of their suffering.
Third-That distribution by percentage
on the amount of losses would be manifestly
unjust as it would result in giving the largest
sum to the person having lost the most with
out regard to the value Of the remaining es-
tate of such person.
Fourth-That this fund cannot be used for
the benefit of any private or public corpora
ton.
Fifth-That the fund must go only to the
most needy sufferers from the floods, in ac-
cordance with and in the spirit of the trust
impressed upon it by the donors.
At the unanimous request Of the COM
miseion, Hon Hugh H. Cummin was re-
quested to proceed to Johnstown and remain
there as the resident representative ana
executive officer of this commission in the
Conemaugh Valley.
