An OLD, old, STORY
NOT ONE OF LOVE BUT OF cLEv-
Err CONFIDENCE
"a WORK.
A Council Bluffs Money Lender Falls
An Easy Victim to TWO shaspers
and Hands over $4,000 for What is
Found to be Worthless Paper.

Council Bluffs, Jan. IA Council
Bluffs broker has been yictimized to
the tune of $4,000 by a couple of
smooth swindlers who posed as nego-
tiators for a choice section of Potta-
wattamie dirt. but who have left the
chosen dirt far behind them in their
flight from Justice.
The first part of the financial game
was played near Oakland a week ago
when a man of benign countenance,
whose hair had been whitened by 70
years, appeared on the farm of Will
liam Carse, near that town and said
he was looking for choice piece of
Pottawattamie county land for his som
in-law. The old man gave his name
as John ]. Foy, and said his home was
at Kansas City. He was accompanied
by his alleged son-in-law, who gave the
name of Snyder, a man of about As
years old. Snyder was represented
to be successful farmer residing near
Tabor.
OF Course They Liked the Farm.
They liked Mr.. Carse's farm. al
though it was priced at $95 an acre,
and other farms apparently as good
were offered to them for less money.
The price finally agreed on was S15,-
200. The bargaining was deliberate
ly done and occupied several days of
negotiations and two or three trips to
Council Bluffs, upon which Mr.. Carse
accompanied the prospective purchas-
ers. The visits here were for the pur-
pose of securing a loan on the land
for cfr ,, ~
kindly assisting them in arranging for
it.
They arranged to secure $4,000 on
the land from N. P. Dodge, who loans
for eastern parties. On Saturday, Foy
and Snyder came into Mr. Dodge's Of
flee with an alleged deed to the farm,
executed, recorded and shown on the
abstract of title. The signatures of
Mr.. Carse and wife were apparently
attested by Elmer Fehr, a notary at
Oakland well known to both Mr.Dodge
and Mr.. MCGEE. The mortgage was
then drawn up, executed in Mr. Dodge's
presence and acknowledged by Mr..
MCGEE. The deed was taken to the
court house and filed for record and
the transaction was closed by the pay
ment of the money, and the benign
Mr.. Foy and his honest looking SON.
in-law dropped out of sight.
The Forgery Was Discovered.
The publication of the real estate
transfers was called to the attention
of Mr.. Carse, and investigation dis.
closed the forgery Meanwhile the con
t1dence men have a two days start of
the ofhcers and are well prepared to
pay the expenses of rapid transit.

Drummond, Wis, Sept. 10 (Speciai)
Whole families in Bayfield, county
are singing the praises of Dodd's Kid
ney Pills and the reason why is given
in experiences such as that of Mr.. T.
T. Wold, we'll known citizen here.
II had such pains N my back that l
did not know what to do" says Mr..
Void, land as l came across an adver-
tisement Of Dodd's Kidney Pills l sent
for box. That one box relieved me
OF all my pains. My wife also used
them and found them just what she
needed. l recommend Dodd's Kidney
Pills as sure cure for Backahe, and
other Kidney Troubles"
Backache is one OF the earliest
symptoms of Kidney disease. Dodd' s
Kidney Pills cure it promptly and
permanently and prevent it developing
into Rheumatism, Dropsy, Diabetes or
Bright's Disease.

Declares Eskimos Doomed,

The Rev. Mr.. Ryberg, pastor of the
First Congrega ational Church at Nome,
urges President Roosevelt to do some
thing toward saving the Eskimo popu-
lation Of Alaska.
Though they have saved the lives
of hundreds Of gold seekers" says he,
this kind and childlike race Is rapid
ly passing away. Its members are
meeting sad and undeserved fate.
Shamefully neglected by our govern
ment, the last chapter Of their history
is being rapidly written in cruel char
acters Of neglect and want, disease and
crime"
The minister declares that the res
ervations are unsuitable to Eskimos,
but that four to six colonies between
Point Barrow and the mouth of the
Yukon will solve the problem in two
years.
