THE $500
lunt in Philadelphia Ledger.

Has Not Been Paid to Mr.. Fellows OF
Buffalo-It Cost Him $50 to Send His
Ticket to Kansas City-Lawyer Stone
of st. Paul " i'll Try and Get the Money
for Him Schroeder, the Man Who
Sold the Ticket TO Fellows, is IndIg-

"Not cent" said Joseph B. Fellows of Pros.
pect avenue, when asked by Times representa-.
tive whether he had received the 800 won by
hlm last May from lottery concern run by L.
Fox IL Co. OF Kansas City, called the Little Lou
isiana lottery, but which has no connection with
the louisiana State Lottery proper. "When they
saw was persistent and after the publication
OF the Times article giving the particulars of
my holding winning ticket and their failure
to pay, they telegraphed me that they were en-
joined from paying by the court. Since then
have heard nothing from them"
Ot course you expect to" said the Times man.
"Well, | don't know" replied Mr.. Fellows.
There is lawyer at st. Paul who wrote me
that he represented man who had won a sl6,-
600 prize and named conditions under which he
would undertake to get my 81 500 at the same
time. told him to 90 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 to pay it to the express company"
What does hroeder, the man from whom
you bought the ticket, think of it?"
"He was as badly taken in as Was"
docs he sell tickets for them still2"
"No, indeed; they had the audacity to send

business for them as before"
Schroeder is a 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 10 do any more business with
them or their representatives,.
Mr.. Fellows is an honest, industrious citizen,
who has right 10 believe that he should re-
cetye what they acknowledged was his. There
are those, however, who are of the opinion that,
as this is the same company that swindled the
late julius Haas out of "A like amount, Mr.. Fell
lows stands very small chance of ever getting
penny from 1t.
just what success Lawyer Stone will have for
his client MIR. Fellows, OF course, cannot tell,
but he hopes for the best. People who have
been investing their money In this concern are
OF the opinion that, II this company is the fraud
II seems to be, they should be exposed in all
sections of the country. Their game, like that
OF the green-goods man and the bunco man, is
one OF fraud
In the first accjHnt of the fraud practiced on
Mr.. Fellows IL was shown that in st. Paul and
other cities the same game had been played on
the unsuspecting. Some people think there
may be a compromise through Lawyer Stone,
this concern than they, say that he (Felows) is
out the 81 he paid Schroeder for the ticket, out
OF the $50 ne paid to send II to Kansas City and
out 81, 100, whicn his ticket called for as hall
winner OF capital prize.
There are lotteries which are said to pay, and
pay promptly but 1t is plain to be seen that this
the Little Louisiana-so called-run by Z. Fox
Co., Kansas City, Is not one of them.-Butdlo
