GOT WORST OF IT.
City Beat Them Out of Some
thing Like $1,000.

For some time past the farmers in
the vicinity of Chaplin have been brag-
ging over other portions of the coun-
ty of their big oat crops of last
year, ana the true inwardness thereof
has just leaked out. The facts are
that Moore Brothers & Felthouse, of
Mason county, have for some time
suspected that the scales at their
warehouse at Chaplin were not all
right, and they have had frequent
shortages in car loads of grain ship
ped from there that they were unable
to account for. Finally they sent for
an expert, who made the astounding
discovery that the scales were cheat
ing the warehouse owners in COM
polling them to pay for 10 or IS
bushels on hundred more than the
actual weight. How much Moore
Brothers & Penthouse are out they
can't say, but their best Judgment is
that they have distributed from their
warehouse at least $1,000 for grain
that they never received.
