SwINDl ERs-.Sevcral conf lcncc men tried
their little game on n number of our mcr-
chants during the past week, and IN several
instances were successful in obtaining money
by their swindIing processes. One OF the
men would enter II crowded store, make Il
small purchase and lay down a $40 or SEQ
bill in payment. In manipulating the change
the swindlcr managed IN at least two or
| three cases to get five or ten
dollars more than was due him. Sev
eral pals generally waited on the outside, and
few stores were missed but IN most of them
our merchants were too sharp to be caught.
