MaIoney and His Com
petitor Bid High for
a Cows Hide.
Knocked Down 10 Mawrence
over the Real NalCe OF the
boot Material.

The business OF buying hides in this
city must certainly be a profitable one
Judging from the hot rivalry which ex
lists between two OF those who are in the
business here. Mr.. Maloney OF Chicago
has been in the bu siness for years aud b al
made this city frequent visits. But he
isn't the only one in the business and has
hot competitor in Sam Mawrence, who
deals in hides as sort OF side issue to
his numerous other bushes enterprises.
The way the two dealers keep their
eyes on each Others movements affords
considerable amusement to the uninter-
ested spectators aud some OF the loiterers
about the Central hotel Office say it ia
worth a good deal TO see them make a
purchase. The other afternoon lonely
farmer walked past the hotel with a hide
under his arm. aud Maloney who was in
the hotel Office, spied him and in min
ute was out on the sidewalk bargai ming
for the hide, but Mawrence wasn't so
slow and also saw the farmer from his
store window next door.
Maloney offered the man $1.5O for his
hide and Mawrence offered $l.55. Nal
oney wasn't going to be done for in that
way and raised the price 8 cents more,
Mawrence made it ST. 50 aud again
Maloney raised 1t cents. By this time
quite crowd had collected around the
party and the auction kept on, each
de ller making up his mind that he would
get the hide If it cost his last dollar.
Mean while the farmer was smiling to
himself and wondering how much he
would get for the hide. Mawrence raised
the price ano her , cents and Maloney
again bid hi CHER. At last the probes.
sionsl hide from out OF town got tired
OF tn business and let the hide 60 to
Mawrence at S1.95 and the crowd gave
Maloney the laugh. He says the hide
isn't worth more than $3.50 and that
Mawrence ia out that much on the deal.

that all possible would be done to pro-
mote friendly relations and greater
equity between the tax payers and tax
collectors. In the meanwhile large CON
course of people had collected around the
minister's office and threats were heard.
Some of those present tore up paving
stones. This caused the police to make
a dispersion of the violent crowd and i'll
the confusion which followed, six per-
sons were injured and one rioter killed.
The mob raised revolutionary cry while
fighting. Many persons in the crowd

serious.
The streets are crowded this evening
A special detail of police is patrolling the

HUGE LAND SWINDLE.
Sure-Thing Men Reaping Harvest
in West virginia.

Wheeling. w. Va. Oct. 10.-A land
swinde similar to that which has
been worked in some of the western
states is being attempted by some party
outside of the state. In west YER
ginia there are enormous tracts OF I'M
developed timber and coal lands lying
in the interior. and this fact has caused
the swindlers to turn their attention to
them as an inviting thing in which to
work their scheme. A dispatch from
Mcdowell county. lying in the extreme
southernmost portion of the state. says
that inside the last two weeks deeds
have been admitted to record there
purporting to convey several thousand
acres of valuable coal lands for con-
sideratons aggregating several hun
dred thousands. which are believed to
be purely fraudulent. There are now
over 100000 acres on the land books.
while the county only contains about
100000 acres altogether. The scheme
of fraud is simple enough and has been
worked by the same parties for some
time. The swindlers prepare deed
for large tract of coal land in the
county and have it acknowledged be-
fore some notary public in far away
state. They send it to Mcdowell
county. the dispatch states. to be re-
corded and have the clerk of the coun-
ty court forward them certified comics
of the deed from the record. This
places them in position to dispose OF
the pretended land titles for good sum
to unsuspecting parties.
1t is not unusual for a stranger to
turn IN Mt Welch. which is the county
seat of Mcdowell county. with deed
for several thousand acres of land
which is all straight on the record. but
when he comes to look for the land he
can not find it, These frauds are not
committed by persons in this state. to
anybody's knowledge. but are to outside
parties. Efforts are being made to dis
cover their identity.
