mot cent" said Joseph B. Fellows of Pros
pect avenue, when asked by IA Times representa-
tive whether he had received the 81 800 won by
him last May from a lottery concern run by 4.
Fox & Co. of Kansas City, called the Little Lou
isiana lottery, but which has 10 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"
"Of course you expect to" said the Times man.
"Well, don't know" replied Mr.. Fellows.
"fhere is a lawyer at st. Paul who wrote me
that he represented man who had won $l5,-
600 prize and named conditions under which he
would undertake to get my 800 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 to pay II to the express company"
what does Schroeder, the man from whom
you bought the ticket, think of it,"
"He was as badly taken in as l was"
"Does he sell tickets for them still?"
mo, indeed; they had the audacity to send
him some and request that he go on and do
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 il
through the Times and his experience in the
Fellows matter he dropped them quick, and has
warned all those who formerly purchased tick
ets OF MIN not TO do any more business with
them or their represen tatives.
Mr.. Fellows Is an honest, industrious citizen
VINO has right to believe that he should re-
ceive what they acknowledged was his. There
are tho,e, however, who are of the opinion that,
as TINS Is the same company that swindled the
late julius Haas out of IA like amount Mr.. Eel
lows stands very small chance of ever getting
penny from 1t.
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
Deen investing their money in this concern are
OF the opinion that, Ii this company is the fraud
IL seems to be, they should be exposed in all
sections OF the country Their game, like that
Vi the green-goods man and the bunco man, il
one OF fraud
In the first account of the fraud practiced on
MI FELLOWS II was shown that in st. Paul and
otner cities the same game had been played on
sne ansuspecting. Some people think there
may be a compromise through Lawyer Stone
but those who have read and heard more OF
TINS concern than they, say that he (Fellows) IL
OUT the 81 he paid Schroeder for the ticket, ou
Vi tle sSO ne paid to send it to Kansas City and
out &,'O, which his ticket called for as half
winner OF capital prrze
mere are lotteries which are said to pay, and
