The Perry County Freeman of
February II says: H K. Frymoyer
OF Juniata township has been the
victim of a confidence game conduct
ed by some sharpers, who have de-
frauded him of some money. It
seems that George f. Dauberman,
who lives at Duncannon, pretended
to own lease on some valuable ore
lands in York county, which he want
ed to sell to Frymoyer for 5000.
Frymoyer was referred to man by
the name of Miller in New York, but
when he called to see Miller he was
not at home, but another man who
was there told Frymoyer that, the
property was worth $4,000 and Mil
Ter would give that for It, Among
them they convinced Frymoyer that
the property WAS very valuable and
be came up to Duncannon and after
considerable talk Dauberman sold
him the lease for $780,, on which he
paid $500 cash, gave his horse and
buggy and a note for $465. Il has
since been discovered that the lease
IS worthless and some of the parties
to the deal cannot be found.

His part of the tramp they were on
was to go to houses and beg victua!s

Each one wanted to get the little
fellow for himself, and the story
