to pay freight on her stove, sewing
machine and clothes and beds. / com
menced work March 2S; also made en-
try for homestead same day (the man
started work for loaning me S15 to
pay entrance fee), and have earned
or at least received $47S.10 in wages
since then and have been idle at least
two months of the twenty-one since

pant. / paid 500 to have 1t replowed

nngf | al e.
for one-half in elevator, clear of all
expense except the seed, and this fall
| received 5000 for my part of tbs
crops off the twelve acres, so my total
receipts the past twenty-one months

COUP WAS WELL PLANNED

FLEECED BANKS OF $4,000.

Last Friday evening well-dressed,
clean-shaven gentleman saGntered up to
the cage of the Western Union Teegra phi
company in the routunda of The Ryan ho-
tel, and scratching off two brief messages
handed them with the change to the
young lady in charges with an easy smile,
and, turning to several friends, Wake ]

The kilograms were signed G.. H

One was to themState5 Bank of Rricelyn,
Stating that the Merchants National of
this city would honor a draft fer 5000
signed by P. J. Baich iflreturued TO them :;
the other telegram: was to the State Bank
of Seeley, also of Bricelyn, Faribault
county, giving the same security on a
draft of $1,000 by the same gentleman.
The Merchants National bank at IL
o'clock next morning were greatly sur
prised to receive notification of the pay
men Of the dIaftsy The matter was in
vestigated Immediately and the young La
dy was soon informed that the gentle
man was not Mr.. Prince at all, but a
very smooth swindler.s -1;ss 49,
The two county banks were notified OF
their mistake, and before the confederate
''P.- ]. Balch" could get away, the 5000
was again safely back in the vault
1t seems that t'P.f J1Balch" spread the
impression around 1Bricelyn that he was
going to make some heavy purchases,
and calledaatsthe two banks, stating that
he expected the kilograms shortly secur-
ing the banks against loss. Next day
the "securities' came, and he got the
money, happily for short time only.
All the little details to the scheme were
smoothly handled. The man at this end
Of the deal understood well that the tel
egrams must notsgo through the general
offices here, as the forgery OF Princes
signature would be detected Immediately.
The man at Bricelyn was about the
smoothest article seen in that part Of
the country for some time. The odd part
of the swindle is that the Bricelyn banks
should have considered telegram IN any
way, as their correspondent in the Twin
Cities is a Minneapolis bank,
