Sioux Falls, S. D., June 27.-Thei

Sioux Falls, The last man to work
the graft must have spent some time
preparing for the scheme. lie had
photographic copies of the Sioux
Falls national bank checks, hut his
paper was not like that used by the
bank. The .latesta swindlcr was
dressed like n farmer and made his
graft by his unsophisticated appear
sance. Several of the merchants of the
city were caught in amounts from
SIS to $21s and the aggregate amounts
to about $3.50.
a man dressed al a we1lsto do farm-
err went into Booths jewelry store
and in a bashfn1 md retired name
made Known to the proprietorsthatl he
wanted to purchase a wedding ring
He was to be married next day and
hnd beensunable to reach town before.
He picked out Sc ring and presented.
IN payment a SCI check supposed to
have been drawn by the Queen City
Milling company, by J.. Bigger, jr., in
favor OF George Greene. The Queen
City Milling company being a new in
stitution in the city and having had
no business with them, Mr.. Booth
took the check8into an adjacent store
and asked if they knew ANYTHING.
about the firm. He was told that5the
firm vas good and casled the check.
In the morning the check was thrown.
back to him as a forgery.
Charles Skinner, another jeseIer Of
the city, had also sold a wedding ring
to an unsophisticated farmer. Mr..
SINNERS customer had been working
hard and it vas 6 O'clock at night be-
Q he could deliver his load Of wheat
ut the Queen City Milling company's'
plant, and consequently he could not
get in the bank, but az he was to be
married the next day he would like
to get a wedding ring. He secured the
ring and Mr.. Skinner at once cashed.
q $50 check and was glad to accommo-i
date his customer.
At least five more checks were.
worked off by the same party. "A
dry goods firm got caught and asllard-
ware man. All told about a dozen
merchants have been let down to the
tune of 5000. There were Eve checks
thrown GU at one bank.
1t seems funny that q stranger
could come into a city the size of
olouA rails and work such a scheme
n get off. This party worked on
at least a dozen merchants and get
the money each time. The swindler
is undoubtedly one of a party which
has been working this vicinity on sew
Z eral different gratis during the past
two weeks. They took in the Hn-
warden blowout, the Dell Rapids en-
eampment md then passed through
Sioux Falls on their way to Chamber
lain. And the Indications are TINT
pastime while in this city they
worked the check racket.
