A Kansan Swindled.

Kansas City. Mo-, Aug. 12.-Robert
Gray, young farm hand from Ottawa,
Kas was Swindled out of $l7 and a
gold watch yesterday afternoon by
three well dressed strangers who posed
as agents of the state employment bu-
reau One of the swindlers took Gray
on a car ride to Maple street. where
another member of the gang flashed
a star and told Gray that he was under
arrest. Rather than be locked up as a
suspicious character the young man
willingly parted with his valuables and
the swindlers left.
After thinking the matter over Gray
concluded that something was wrong
and reported the case at police head
quarters.
