o'BRIEN's BUNCo GAME
How Albert Freeman Fell Victim to
His Wiles

RIVERSIDE, March Sword was re-
ceived in this city last night to the effect
that a miner of this county named Albert
Freeman. who went to San Francisco some
time since with a man named O'Brien
upon the representations of the latter that
he was the owner of valuable mines in the
north part of the state, had been robbed
by O'Brien in hotel at San Francisco.
O'Brien came to this city about the begin
ming of February, and at first sought out
prominent Odd Fellows, from whom he
desired aid, claiming that he was men,
ber of the order. In this scheme he was
not successful, and the next move he made
was to branch out as the owner Of valuable
He was looking for some one with capital
TO develop the mines, and it was not long
before he found Freeman, who purchased
half interest in the alleged mines of the
sharper. The deed to the half interest
was acknowledged by O'Brien on February
%, before Notary Public l. S. Logan.
Shortly after this transaction both O'Brien
and Freeman disappeared from here, and
the first heard of them was the account of
the robbing of Freeman by OBrien. The
general impression that O'Brien made on
parties here whom he talked mines to was
that he was a fraud that would bear watch
ing, and the San Francisco affair indicates
that he was sized up about right. Other
prominent parties in this city who are en-
gagged in the mining business were ap-
preached by OBrien, but they kept clear of
him.
