A RICH HARVEST
Reaped by SwindIers with
Circus at Gardiner.
Shell Game, "Charm Circle" and
Other SwindIing Games
Yank the Cold. Cold Cash from Innocent but
Avaricious Victims.

GARDINER, Aug. 22.-(SpeciaD A
gang of fakirs worked the "shell game" on
several of our unsuspecting citizens, at the
circus grounds, Wednesday, and reaped an
abundant harvest.
Mr.. W. G. Straton of Sidney, was
cropped in" to the tune of $3.50, on another
kind of racket. He was asked to pay 50
for chance to throw dice, and whstever
spot showed on the top of the dice, he
would receive that amount back in dollars
That Is, if he shook IA one spot, he would
get dollar; if five spot, he would get
50; and if the dice stopped in certain
circle. in the center of which was q star, he
would get $50.
Mr.. Stratton accordingly shook there
times, each time landing on the lucky
cirlle. The fakir informed him that he
had won $50. hut informed him that he
must show $50 of his own money before
he could obtain possession of his winnings.
He did not have the money but borrowed
it of a friend well-known citizen of Gar
diner, who advised him to have nothing
more to do with the game. But the money
was counted out and placed on the table by
the side of the $50 he had won, and he
was the told to shake again just to show
that he had won. While he was shaking
the dice a confederate of the swindler
grabbed The pile of money and skipped.
Several others who thought il would be
easier to get ich at this game than by saw
ing wood, also dropped their money every
time. A certain butcher of Randolph is
mlnus SS5 farmer not a thousand miles
from Gardiner dropped $6S, one of Gardi-
ner's business men S27, and others lost va
rious sums at this and the she'll game.
Officers were on the grounds and claim
that they will catch the swindlers, but the
mourners still go about the street bewailing
their fate.
