"Not cent" said Joseph B. Fellows of Pros
pect avenue, when asked by Times representa-.
live whether he had received the 81 500 Won by
him last May from lottery concern run by K.
Fox Il Co. of Kansas City, called the Little Lon
isiana lottery, but which has no connection with
the Louisiana state Lottery proper. "When they
saw was persistent and after the publication
my holding winning ticket and their failure
topay, they telegraphed me that they were en-
joined from paying by the court Since then
have heard nothing from them"
"Uf course you expect to, ;" said the Times man,
"Well, | don't know" replied Mr.. Fellows.
"rhere is lawyer at st. Paul who wrote me
Eat he represented a man who had won a s15,-
OWpli2e and named conditions under which he
would undertake to get my 81 500 at the same
time, told him to go ahead, but seem to be
as far away now as was before. 1t cost me $50
TO send my ticket to Kansas City, and | think
they might at least return that amount to me,
as had 10 pay 1t to the express company"
what does schroe der, the man from whom
you bought the ticket, think of it2"
HE was us badly taken in as Was"
"Dots he sell tickets for them still?"
NO, indeed; they had the audacity to send
him some and request that he go on and do
business for them as before"
schroeder is barber on Niagara street, and
knew nothing of the character of the concern
which he represented. When he learned it
through the Times and his experience in the
Fellows matter he dropped them quick, and has
warned all those who formerly purchased tick
cts OF him not To do any more business with
them or their representatives.
Mr.. Fellows is an honest, industrious citizen,
who has right TO bslieve that he should re-
celve what they acknowledged was his. There
are thoae, however, who are of the opinion that,
as TINS Is the same company that swindled the
iate julius Haas out of like amount, Mr.. Fell
lows stands very small chance of ever getting
penny from it.
Just what success Lawyer Stone will have for
ms client Mr.. Fellows, of course, cannot tell,
put he hopes for the best. People who have
been investing their money in this concern are
OF the opinion that, If this company is the fraud
IL seems to be, they should be exposed in all
sections OF the country. Their game, like that
Oh the green-goods man and the bunco man, is
one OF fraud
:, In the first account OF the fraud practiced on
M. Fellows 1t was shown that in st. Paul and
other cities the same game had been played on
me unsuspecting. Some people think there
may be compromise through Lawyer Stone,
thls concern than they, say that he (Felows) is
out the 81 he paid Schroeder for the ticket, out
OF Inc $50 he paid to send ii to Kansas City and
OUT N5OO, which his ticket called for as half
winner of a capital prize.
