CLEVER SWINDLERS
Get Alabama Farmers on a Bunco
 Game

Montgomery, July S-A gang of slick swindlers have recently taught some citi- zens of Escambia county, Ala, a good moral lesson.
 One of the swindlers came among some of the farmers who had cashed in their crops and exhibited specimens of counterfeit money, which are said to have been finely executed and explained that he would fur nish $10O of it for $1O and in like proportion up to $1O,OOO
 A number of residents bit at the snare, got together less than $1 900 and selected one of their number to go to Chattanooga with the falkir to deliver the money and secure the bad.
 The swndler carried his dupe up the steps into a tall building, knocked at a door and bade him remain outside until he entered, exchanged the money and return- ed. The poor fellow tarried at the doorway for an hour or two and upon investigation learned that the bunco man had proceeded down the rear steps with the good money of the poor Alabama victims and was gone.
