.SHARPERS
SWiINDLING
VETERANS
By Selling Them Privileges
in New Country.
WARNING is GIVEN OUT
That the Filings Can Be Made
at This Time.

Guthrie. o. T, June Pit is under
stood here that a great deal Of swind-
ling IS going on all over the territory
in which old soldiers are the victims.
1t is said that sharpers are organizing
old soldiers colonies" to settle in the
new country aad that for certain mag
mary tips and privileges they are work
ing them out of a good deal of money.
1t is also said that the system" is
being worked extensively al over the
United States ana the officers here are
watching the matter closely with a view
Of bringing the sharpers to justice.
4 confirmation OF the suspicious enter
tanned by the officers here comes from
Oklahoma City, il is said, Receiver Clos
sen OF the land Office has been made
aware that old soldiers are being vic
timized. It is said that an old soldier
went into the land Office at that place
a few days ago and expressed desire to
file on land in the ne wcountry and when
Mr.. Classen told him that the lands were
not yet ready to be filed upon, the old
soldier informed him that he. with a
dozen others had paid SO each as mem
bership fee in a colony whose members
he was assured, would be given certain
privileges, among them the privilege OF
fling on land at this time 1t is also
said that 1fr. Classen secured valuable
Information from the veteran which may
lead TO the punishment Of the sharpers
who originated the fraud.
The officials here desire to have all
persons understand that NJ claims can
be filed upon previous TO the proclama-
the lands open for settlement and then
only in accordance with such rules as the
interior department may adopt. which
rules will probably be contained in the
rlraeide rltfs rlrnnIa rnatfnn
