a SWindler Whose Absence Many A
Citizen of Washington State Sin
'cerely Mourns.
A Notorious All-Around Crook in the
Tolls Of the Law in
Chicago.

SEATTLE, Wash, Special Telegram, June
Zone OF the slickest all-round swindlers
is now en- route East, having corraled every
thing in sight in this section.
Last fall N. W. Flaisig formed partner
ship with Peter Bauman of this city as
agents for the Garden City Billiard Table
Company OF Chicago. AS early as last De-
,cember Flaisig made his first move toward
leaving the city and his creditors by at
tempting during his partners absence, to
dispose of all the goods for cash.. Mr.. Flat
sig's proceedings did not excite suspicion
until early in May. Mr.. Bauman was at
sent down the sound, and Flaisig seems to
have seized the opportunity to clear out the
stock and take his departure.
The company got wind of trouble and
sent out Mr.. Ludwig, an agent, who ar
rived the very day Flaisig left. An exam
ination showed that Faislg had made 2
clean sweep of everything OF value, and
raised money on it and borrowed money
on fictitious securities. Since that time
drafts on himself, ranging all the way from
$50 to $500, have been coming from towns
all along his route East and aggregating
$780, the last being from Helena, Mont. The
Garden City company is out about $4,000.
The agent says Flaisig left his yoong wife
practically penniless.
Four years ago Flaisig was travelling for
the Brunswick Bake Collender company
making st. Joseph his headqual tiers, and
was discharged for loose business methods.
He then went into business in Salt Lake
City, and wound up with large crop OF law
suits After this he represented X. Roths-
child's Sons & Co. of Cincinnati. threw
their affairs into confusion by his misrep-
reservations and caused them immense
losses. He was discharged by them and
then engaged in his last venture.
He always operates in such way that
he cannot be arrested on criminal charge.
Mr.. Bauman. his late partner, is practical
ly ruined, and several of his other victims
could i'll spare their losses.
