TOUCHED" FOR $4,000.
swindler That Worked ottun,wa op.
Grated in Northern Iowa.

About two years ago smooth swim
die was operated in this city by which
G. E. Norton, of this city,, and John
R. Kane, of Eldon, were made the VIC
Tins. The same person has been op-
Grating in the northern part of this
state and recently succeeded in fleec-
ing Rock Rapids man cut of $4,000
in much the same way that he got
$500 out of John R. Kane.
The swindler came to Mr.. Norton
and stated that he desired loan on
real estate security and presented an
abstract of title to farm. Mr..
Norton, after examining the abstract,
which was apparently genuine, negoti-
ated loan for the man who said his
name was Barton, from Mr.. Kane.
Eight hundred dollars were secured
and Barton left In short time it
was found that the abstract was fraud
ulent and that Barton had no title to
the farm which had been mortgaged
to Mr.. Kane as security for the loan.
h Afterwards Mr.. Kane instituted a
suit against Mr.. Norton, who was
wholly innocent of any wrong doing,
but from whom it was sought to re-
cover judgment on technical grounds,
and the suit is still pending.
In his latest operation the swindler
gives his name as Oscar Hurd and he
worked the very same scheme on the
Rock Rapids man that was worked
here. Is is also thought that he is the
same man that last year worked H. T..
Reed, of Cresco, Iowa. for $1,000 under
the name of Lewis w. Carter, the Iowa
State Savings bank, of Fairfield, for
$1,000 as Henry Parker, James E.
Cromwell, of Marion. for $1,000 as
Abram B. Wood, Schaller & Hart for
several thousand as Gordon, Frank A.
Dearborn, of Wayne, Neb., for 1900,
as Robert E. Breton, and two similar
cases were reported in 1898, with a
description very close to his.
Hurd is described as beng about As
years of age, of medium height, weight
about 200 pounds, is of sandy complex
ion, with full, red face, and looks like
stockman.

Recall Registered Matter.

| . =
Instructions are given as to the man.
ner Of recalling registered mail both
before and after its dispatch.
The sender, If unknown to the post
master, must furnish satisfactory ev-
idence of his identity. After signing
his name to the registry receipt, on
which the sender must write the
words, Withdrawn before dispatch"
he surrenders it to the postmaster to
be pasted in its stub or counterpart in
the registration book. In this con-
nection the postmaster goes thru a
little red tape, in which the Guide in
structs him, and returns the package
to the sender without cancelling the
stamps. Should he, however, cancel
the stamps, no reimbursements can
be made to the sender for the cost of
postage.
To secure the latter after dispatch,
the sender, after furnishing proof of
his identity, files with the mailing
clerk or postmaster written request
asking the return of the parcel, CIV
ing name and address of person to
whom the parcel is addressed and al
SO the registry number. On receipt of
his request the mailing postmaster
must Immediately notify the postmas-
ter at the town where the package is
sent by mail or wire request for the
return Of the parcel. At the other end
of the route the postmaster will at
once return it without additional post
age if it be f1rst-class, but for all other
classes full postage Is charged and
the sender must supply the money or
postage stamps necessary.

The July Postal Guide, which has
been received at the Ottumwa post
office, shows the postofice de-

promoters of lotteries in other coun.
tries. Information is also given in the
Guide as to the method of recalling

The two preceding Guides have con-
tanned information that has warned
people against having anything to do
with lotteries, but it seems that as
soon as the promoters are gazetted in
the Guide that others spring up and
take their places. The offenders are
mainly from other countries, one be-
ing the Credit d'Esparge, Of Paris,
and another Is conducted by Emile

tiers are warned against sending all

ties, and on presentation of a dupli-
