This circular was sent to person in San
Francisco who has long ceased to operate
in the lottery traffic. He could not be in
duced to accept the $500 prize ticket,
which he knew very well was fake pure
and simple.
No one ever heard OF such prize being
drawn in that company, or of any prize
larger than 81. The same is true of the
Juarez swindle, carried on in this City by
H. S. Kahn, at 120 Suffer street. Recently
q man in Fresno won prize of $500 on a
Juarez ticket. That Is, he thought he had,
for it was advertised that No. 66057 had
won such a prize. The Fresno man
fastened to San Francisco and sought out
Mr.. Kahn, the accredited agent. But Mr..
Kahn declined to pay the face value OF the
ticket. He offered the Fresno man small
sum of money if he would keep quiet and
say nothing, but let his name be published
in the newspapers as the winner OF 4 $500
prize. The Fresno man took all he could
get, which was less than the fare he spent
coming here, and went away vowing to
buy no more lottery tickets.
If there is bigger lottery swindle in ex-
istence than the Juarez it is the San Do
mingo swindle, that had such big run in
this City little while ago. 1t is the same
company that got up the Rademaker ex-
element, paying the Kearny-street saloon
keeper small sum to induce him to pose
as having won $4,000 prize.
THE CALLS Ukiah agent has secured a
letter written by the proprietors of this San
Domingo fake to their peddler at Ukiah
1t is quite an interesting letter and it tells
what seems to be a pretty straight story
concerning the Wells-Fargo Express Com
pany.
1t is personal letter from H. w. Earl
& Co., room 6, 230 Kearny staeet, this
City. 1t says: 'Wells-Fargo & Co. are
handling our goods the same as ever" The
personal letter is reproduced herewith in
typewriter under "a fac-simile of the en-
graved letterhead.
Accompanying this personal letter from
the San Domingo Guaranty Company to
its Ukiah agent is the following encourage
ing letter from THE CALLS agent at Ukiah
E. E. PIERsoN,
Books, Stationery and Cigars.
UKIAH, Cal, July 10, 1895.
Editor The Call: Inclosed please find original
letter sent by Earl & Co. to one of their agents
here soon after w. F. g. Co. order was
published in THE CALL restraining said agents
from handling lottery matter. 1 tried hard to
get hold of this little sooner for you but could
not get same till to-day. l have promised the
lottery company agent here that his name
would not appear, so have scratched same at
top OF letter. One thing THE CALL may feel
proud of is that you have com pletely killed the
swindle here and are saving the people of
Ukah $50 per month from this one company,
as they used to sell that amount very easily be-
fore you took the matter up. They are notsell-
ing single ticket to-day. Z. E. PIERsoN.
