leaked out as to how some of the citi-
zens of this county were bled last fall
by man named George Marvin, who
said he was the representative of an
Indianapolis detective agency. He
was in Logan quite while, and is
charged with putting UP several jobs
on certain parties here, asking the
officers TO help him carry them out.
Marshal McCulloch was rather sus-
picous of him, however, and so re-
fused. Finally Marvin heard that a
certain resident of Mendon was making
whisky on the sly He hastily re-
paired thither. it is charged, and.
representing himself to be a United
States revenue officer. he succeeded in
soaring his victim so badly that he put
up S75 in cash, a couple of good
watches and some other articles, in
order to be let alone. Marvin is ac-
cused of playing the same game in
Smithfeld and in other parts of the
county At last one of the victims
gave it away, and the officers were
notified But Marvin had fled and all
efforts to locate him have thus far
failed
