ALLENTOWN, Pa, Aug. 29.-Abrafam
BechteI, a well-to-do farmer residing near
Dillingersvllle, this county, had q narrow
escape the other day from being fleeced
out Of large sum Of money by three
swindlers who attempted the old conf
dence game. In fact the sudden illness
of member of Bechtel's family alone
saved him from financial loss.
On the day in question wel!-dressed
stranger stopped at the Bechtel farm
house and msde inquiry as to whether
any farm properti were for tale IN that
section, pret nding that he and come
friends wanted to buy farm. He ac-
knowledged that they knew but little of
farm properties and suggested, inasmueh
as Mr.. Bechtel was well-posted on such
matters, he would be just the man to
guide them, and at the came time pre-
posed to have him accompany them on
the purchasing errand next day.
Next day the stranger and a companion
drove up in a splendid double team and
persuaded Mr.. Bechtel to accompany
them. After driving about half mile
they met anothtr man coming In the cp-
poslte direction. He stopped and said
be was also out looking for young girl.
and that II he found her he would come
in for nice pile OF money. In due time
the late arrival produced number OF
playing cards and proceeded with the
three-card monte game. Bechtel became
interested, as the manipulation so handled
the cards that the victim could not fail to
pick out the right onrs. 1t was finally
proposed that they play for q money
stake. This was agreed to and Mr.. Bech-
tel and his partner jointly won $4,000.
A condition was, however, attached to
sh's winning. Mr.. Bechtel was required
TO put up pile of money to chow that
he would have been able to pay If he had
| lost. .a- ...
Not having the requisite funds with
him, he and one of the sharpers went
back to Mr.. Becchtels home to get some
money. His wife and children trie to
dissuaie him from going back, they see
ing through the swindle. B chtel was
determined, however, and filling hit
pockets with money, said nothing could
make him alter his mind. AS he was
about re- re-entering the carriage, one OF hit
children fell into dead faiat from ex-
citement and fear, and, on seeing this
Mr.. Bechtel jumped out OF his vehicle
and ran back to the house, whereupol
the sharper drove of as fast as he could
evidently ,eeing that their chance 10
swindling had vanished.

Charles Cross Of No. los North Eighth
street, Camden, N. J. was returning late

light ard saw his hand covered with
blood. He searched his pockets and
missed his gold watch aud chain, SO In

was dressed, and Cro:s was taken home.
The police were unable to give any In

the evening, and knowing he had money
