formed him that they wanted to buy

They looked over the land of p. j. Bohn,
adjoining Mr.. Cats. and said IL suited them,
and if they could make terms they would
buy 1T. They said the government was
broke. and that they had disposed
of some government bonds which they had
for $4,000. and wanted to invest In land.
Upon their return to Mr.. Cats the men IN
troduced the three-card monte game. and
after q while one took Mr.. Gait into part

his share of the winnings until Mr.. Gait
produced his share of the money. MIR. Gait
thereupOn came to Greenfield and borrowed
"a. 500 of the Greenfield bank. Assistant
Cashier Cooper questioned Mr.. Gait closely
about the use of the money. and said:
let any gold brick or gold duet swlndIer
fool you" but Mr.. Gait held his peace.
Cashier Morgan Chandler just then came
IN, and on hearing of the amount of money
borrowed. remarked, You are going to buy
another farm, are your
Mr.. Gait already owns over one thousand
acres, and he only smiled and went his

they had left with him to keep until their

Century Magazine was there. The men
drove of shortly after noon, and said they
were going to Maxwell. One of the men
claimed TO be q nephew of Mr.. Nelson
Bradley, president of the bank where Mr..
Gait got the money. OF course his claim
was q lie. but they told Mr.. Gait TO not
deal. 1t is supposed Mr.. Gait lost $1,000. OF
