A peculiar case of attempted swindlinp
and mental la%llucination is reported from

an elderly woman, living alone, and pos
sessed Of considerable property. She
called on the president Of the bank and
informed him that she wanted to draw
$4,000, and wanted him to bringthe money
to the house, sta ing that she was goingto
make on investment. AS she grew more
confidential she divulged the fact that 1t
was a m who was going to make SO
much money for her, aud that the woman
was an Egyptian. The banker became at
once suspicious and oninvestigation found
that a masculine appearing Egyptian woman
hadtold the lady that thu rough the aid of
spirit forces she could find certain treasures
hidden in the yard about the place. But in
order to find the hidden gold, it would be
necessary to lave q large pile of money in
the house to establish sympathy communi-
cation. The Egyptian said it would take
$4,000, and had finally convinced her VIC
tim. The woman said her name was Mrs.
Mary Brewer, and that her home was in
Nebraska. She was arraigned at Newton
on a charge of vagrancy and was fined $50
and costs, which she promptly paid. She
.ook the first train west, promising not to
