THE $500

Has Not Be Paid to Mr.. Fellows of
BuffalO-It Cost Him $50 to Send His
Ticket to Kansas City-Lawyer Stone
OiSt. Paul VIII Try and Get the Money
for Him - Schroeder, the Man Who
Sold the Ticket to Fellows. Is Indig-
nant.
"Not cent" said Joseph B. Fellows of Pros.
peCt avenue, when asked by a Times representa-
tive whether he had received the 81, 800 won by
him last May from lottery concern run by K.
Fox & Co. of Kansas City, called the Little Lou
isi4na 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 iron paying by the court. Since then
have heard nothing from them"
80, course you expect to- said the Times man
"Well, l don't know" replied Mr.. Fellows
There is a lawyer at st. Paul who wrote me
that he represented man who had won Sl5
OOJ prize and named conditions under which he
would undertake to get my 1850 at the same
time. l 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 it 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 | was"
"DOes he sell tickets for them still?
"Eo, 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 II
through the Times and his experience in the
Fellows matter he dropped them quick, and hae
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 believe that he should re-
ceive what they acknowledged was his. There
are those, however, who are of the opinion that
as this is the same company that swindled tn
late julius Haas out OF like amount, Mr.. Eel.
lows stands very small chance Of ever getting
penny from it.
Just what success Lawyer Stone will have for
his client Mr.. 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, if this company is the fraud
it seems to be, they should be ex posed in all
sections OF the country. Their game, like that
of the green-gOods man and the bunCo man, is
one of fraud.
Mr.. Fellows it 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,
but those who have read and heard more OF
this concern than they, say that he (Fellows) is
out the 81 he paid Schroeder for the ticket, out
of the $50 he paid to send it to Kansas City and
out $500, which his ticket called for as a half
winner of a capital prize.
There are lotteries which are said to pay, and
pay promptly, but it is plain TO be seen that this
the Little Louisiana-so called-run by K. Fox
d Co., Kansas City, is not one of them.-BuGalO
