Frank +. Rawson, of Menlo, Iowa,
was in Atlantic recently looking for
parties who, he CLAIMS, have swiudled
him out of 81, 500. Last December he
wrote to his parents in England for
some money Visiting his parents at
the same time was man named IIar-
rison who claimed to have farm near
Atlantic, and to him was intrusted
draft for S., 500 to be delivered to their
son. Recently Rawson received a let
ter from Mrs. HARRISON stating that
her husband had arrived home with the
draft, but had gone to Omaha. She
told him to come to Atlantic and get
the draft and her husband would be
there to identity him. Rawson came
to Atlantic and started to walk out to
the farm When in sight of the house
he met Joseph WEIGH, whom he had
known several years before IN Eng
land. WEIGH told him that Harrison
lived there, but he and his wife were
in Omaha He also told him the draft
was all right, and they retraced their
steps to the city, arriving after dark.
WEIGH took hun to the house of sup
posed banker. The banker also as
sured hum that the draft was all right
and safely deposited, but he could not
draw the money without Harrison to
identify him. They accompanied Raw
son to the railway STATEN and told
him to return 10 Menlo and wait until |
Harrison returned. Hearing nothing
from the draft Rawson returned to
Atlantic aud could find no trace of
Harrison, his wife or the supposed |
banker, nor did any of the bankers in
the city know anything about it.
