Eagle Pass, Tex, June 10. -(Special.)-
A stranger representing himself as Harry
Hill, of Oklahoma fame, reached this city
several days ago from Mexico, claiming
he had a contract to supply the Mexican
government with horses for cavalry use.
Yesterday he induced prominent citi-
zen to endorse check for 500 on firm
in Wichita, Kan. After receiving the
money a telegram of inquiry to this point
in Kansas stated that the house upon
which the check was drawn was no
longer in existence. In the meantime Hill
is supposed to have skipped across the
Rio Grande. As yet his whereabouts are
unknown. Hin is of good address and
plays the wealthy stockman TO perfection.
