FLEECE THE FARMERS.
Many Outgamie County Changers
Pay Big Prices for Cloth
Bolts.

Appleton, Wis, Dec. 10.-[Speciall j
this country last week caught numerous
farmers with their oft-exposed game,
and among them was an assemblyman,
elect. The scheme of the operators was
to sell to farmers a bundle of shoddy
cloth, enough to make up into two suits
of clothes and two OvercoatS, together
with a lot more of cheap truck. The
whole outfit was worth at liberal esti-
mate $40, and for it the swindlers got
$50 with the understanding that the
goods should be made up into clothes
without extra cost by the tailors of
a company in Chicago who were repre-
sented to be at the Sherman house
Ia this city. All buyers were instruct
ed not to bring in their cloth to be
made up before Monday, as the tailors
would be too busy to attend to it before
that time. From some of the dupes the
sWindlers got the amount in cash, but
most of them gave notes for the amount.
These notes were discounted at the banks
and on Saturday the gang quietly. flew
the country. Monday the duped farm
made up. and of course found no tailors
at the Sherman house as represented.
Then the game dawned upon them and
a howl has gone up from all over the
county. Every day brings q fresh relay
of victimiZed farmers into town looking
for the tailors, and every day the howl
increases. There seems to be no reme-
dy for the victims. The "clothiers'' are
out of reach and the notes being in
the hands of innocent parties will
have to be paid

Trust company of New York VS.. the
West Superior Iron and Steel company
came up, when the plaintiff was permit
ted to foreclose a mortgage in the sum of
$l,6OO,O0O upon the steel plant of the de-
PENDANT. This case has been OH in the
courts in both this city and New York
for several years and has been of gen
eral interest.
Howard Morris of Milwaukee is the
receiver for the Steel company, having
been appointed by Judge Vinje of the
circuit court of this city year ago The
Rockefellers bought the Central Trust
company, one of the principal mortgages
upon the plant, and now that it is to be
sold IT will pass into their hands.
Some weeks ago an effort was made
to effect a reorganization of the West
Superior Iron and Steel company, but
Mr.. Rockefeller's attorneys who were
then in Superior, thought that it would
be best to first foreclose the mortgage
so that they could acquire clear title
