Repeat the South African
SWindle.

Cripple Creek, Col, Nov. 30.-Rumors
have been rife for some time that a
party of British spectators, who have
made several fortunes in the South At
rican gold stocks, are preparing to make
Il raid on the stocks of Cripple Creek,
to buy up a number of claims stock
them for large amounts and after trad
ing the stock back and fourth among
themselves, sending prices skyward and
creating public interest and demand, let
ting go at the top wave, leaving the
purchaser with stock worth absolutely
nothing
These rumors have been heard in Grip
pie Greek and naturally enough people
have been anxious to learn who is at the
head of the syndicate proposed to carry
on this 81 gantic sWindle. for such it is
called. 1t is known that none of the
companies now operating are concerned
in the deal. a vast number of compa-
MES have been incorporated in the past
sixty days---So many that it has been al
most impossible to keep track of them
and claims haze been sold all over the
district, sometimes to local parties and
sometimes to foreigners.
Whether this stock is to be located in
the United States or only in London is
not known, but it is presumed that for
the present. or at least in the incipiency
of the affair. they will sell the stock in
London and on the continent. soaking"

meeting, and the ratification was all
that was to be DONE 1t is said all par
ties were satisfied with the settlement
and that the amount to be paid Mrs.
Ruhmann is $4,000.
The true story of leila Nicolaus and
George Gould and the $4,000 check IS
for the first time divulged. During the
Worlds fair one of the late Jay Gould's
heirs lived i'll a rented Chicago mansion,
rented by several rich New Workers.
While there he met leila Nicolaus. In
the first week of July, 1893, the heir OF
Gould received New York check for
$4,000. lie carelessly put his name Ola
the check. didn't take good care of it,
and one day leila Nicolaus wrote her
name underneath the Endorsement and
went with it to the First National bank
of Chicago and asked to open an ac-
count.
The teller looked at the check and
then at her, consulted someone, and she
was asked to see John r. Walsh, the
banks president. He said he was sorry
not to accommodate her, and asked her if
she would bring around the Gould heir
who had originally Endorsed it. leila
went from bank to bank, but did not
succeed any better, all telling her she
must bring note from the Gould heir
New York and had no better success.
The signature was all right, they said,
but she must excuse them, the bank
presidents leila got desperate and took
/ :, check to George Gould at his office
in the Western Union Telegraph build
ing. He gave her an audience, and she
told him she had the check, by whom it
was given. and then she produced it and
handed it to him.
George Gould glanced at the name on
the face of the check, turned the check
over, understood by intuition what had
happened. said he had not so much
money with him. and would have it sent
over to the bank. AS she had indorsed
it it would be paid tomorrow
George Gould touched a bell, wrote a
few words on a slip of paper, gave it to
a boy, who disappeared and returned
with $500. This money George Gould
handed to leila Nicholaus.
