SEATTLE, Wash. Special Telegram, June
2.-One OF the sliCkest allround swindlers
is now en- route East, having corraled every
thing in sight in this section.
Last fall N. w. Flaisg formed a 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 tow ard
leaving the city and his creditors by at
tempting, during his partners absence, to
disD0se of all the goods for cash. Mr.. Fla-
sig's proceedings did not excite suspicion
until early in May Mr. Bauman was al
sent down the sound, and Flalsig 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 cxam-
nation showed that FlaisIg had made a
clean sweep of everything OF value, and
raised money on it and borrowed money
on fictitious securities. Since that time
drafts OH himself ranging all the way from
$50 to $500 have been coming from towns
all along his route East and aggrrgating
$3.50, the last being FROM Helena, Mont. The
Garden City company is out about $4,000.
The agent says Faisig let his YoIng wife
practically penniless.
Four years ago Flaisig was travelling for
the Brunswick Bake ollcnder company
making st. Joseph his hcadqua! tiers, and
was discharged for loose business methods.
He then went into business i'll Salt Lake
City, and wound up with large crop OF law
suits A ter this he represented X. Roths-
nbill'C az Of |,
their affairs into confusion by his misrcp-
reservations and caused them immense
losses. He was discharged by them and
then engaged in his last venture.
He always operates i'll 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 ill spare their losses.
