THE CHICHARERO SWINDLE.
Innocent Strangers Robbed on
the Public Streets.
An Old Fraud - Bogus smugelers Who In-
duee Travellers 20 Buy Vile Cigars
by Misrepresentation.

An old swindle, often exposed, but -four
lshing more than ever just now, /. causing
great deal OF annoyance TO business men
on the prin ncipal th0rOughfares in this city,
II is the old game practiced by confidence
men, who waylay likely victims on the street
and try to sell them supposed smuggled
Mexican cigars.
Their mode OF operation Is to approach
any man they sec smoking a cigar, and tell
him that they have a confidential communi-
cation to make to him. Ii the man happens
to be stranger in the city, he will probably
listen TO a story in which lie viii be told hat
the mysterious stranger j. the cousin of a.
smuggler, who, being an officer of steamer
which plies between this and Mexican ports
has opportunities to bring the finest Mexi-
can cigars 10 San Francisco without paying
duty on them. Then the victim is asked
whether he would not be willing TO buy
some of these fragrant weeds for about one
half their value in the legitimate market
Becoming interested the stranger con-
Sents to make trial, and he is then escorted
with much show of caution to some con-
venient alley, where, in secluded spot a
box containing 100 Of the cousins" contra
band smokers are shown him. A cigar is
then. apparently at random, selected from
the box, and the stranger lights il and finds
il OF the best quality. He is so delighted
that, as rule, he gladly ayaiis himself of
the opportunity To buy so good an article
for the small sum asked by the "smug-
gler."
Most men delight in forbidden fruits, and
the fact that they are put in the way of
cheating the United ), ates Government
adds even more flavor to the smuggled
cigars. They chuckle as they walk off with
box for which they have paid all the way
from 81 to 81, in the belief that they have
secured a bargain. But when they reach
the seclusion of their homes they discover
that they have been duped and that the
box contains the yilest and ankest of Chi
natown's manufactured cabbage-leaves.
This game has been goGg on repeatedly
Tor years on the public streets, and has
been exposed repeatedly; but, as the oper-
atOrs select the approaches 10 hotels and
| railroad ticket offices, their victims are
usually strangers who have never heard of
the trick. In the language of the Mexican,
