A new form of swindling is being prsc.
ticed on farmers that has resulted in
quite q number of persons being victim
lied. Stopping at frame house that is
insured. the swindlsrs represent that
they are special agents going around
inspecting risks and so get the name Of
the company who have insured this.
Later, they return with a type written
paper to the effect that the company has
failed and that they ara empowered with
authority to transfer the policy to
another. The farmer is prevailed upon
to sign what he supposes to be trans
fer, but which proves to be a promissory
note for a sum ranging from $40 to $100

game
