gene Boyle, F'renchman who had been
engaged in herding sheep near Rawlins,
Wy. reached Ogden, and before he had
been there half an hour fell into the hands
up S1,720, and carried the money in wal
let sewed into his belt. Seventeen hundred
dollars of the cash was in certificate of
deposit on the Frat National bank Of
Rawlins, and the balance was in silver.
Before the sheep man left the room into
which he had been steered, his money had
vanished and he was thrown upon the
tender mercles of a very cold world. The
Surs-thine men pretended TO sympa-
thize with him in his loss, and
stated that if he would endorse
the certificate and accompany one Of their
number 10 Reno, New. $500 would be re-
turned. Boyle accepted the proposition
and attached his signature TO the paper.
When Reno was reached the gambler gave
his victim the slip and returned to Ogden,
while Boyle, who, unknowiugly, was
travelling on q through ticket. was carried
on TO San Francisco. He wandered aim
lessly about the western metropolis nearly

Ogden about a week ago.
