ing printed information:

nished. CORRESPONDENCE solicited.

changed. We make speciality of ex-
changes, and have large lists to Sc

York, Nebraska.
In another place Harmon Schell APP
pears as president of the concern, while
w. NJ. Cowell appears as attorney and |
general manager.
The fact that each of the lots is sub
ject TO a mortgage of IS, Mr.. Jensen
thinks in itself sufficient evidence of
fraud. Then, as Mr. Bode has evidently
traded some property for the Garden
City lots, he certainly has been i'm
posed upon.
The recorder also says there is a
notary public in the east who makes
out certified copies of abstracts origi-
nally issued by the Security Abstract
of this city. These certified
copies are then changed to suit the
purpose of the swindling gang. 1t is
also evident that the Nebraska Land
and Abstract company is a portable in
stitution, for in some deeds the man
ager, MI Cowell, gives his residence
IN Nebraska. and in others he states
MS residence is in Wisconsin or Hi
nois, as the. case may be.
JENSEN WILL EXPOSE THEM.
Recorder Jensen will notify all par
place himself in a position as accessory
