CRUDE GAME. GOES
Stranger FIeeced in Most Ap.
proved Fashion


A Wisconsin farmer, giving the name
of John Johnson, was buncoed out of
SIC in the Guaranty building yesterday
afternoon by one Of the crudeSt con-
fidence games pulled off in many a
day.
Late last night o. l.. Maxwell, who
is said by Johnson to have been one of
the trio who fleeced him, was arrested
in the corridor of the building and lock-
ed up.
Johnson was seeing the sights. He
dropped into the Guaranty building
and met two affable strangers, who Of
fered to show him the structure, and
they inspected every part, including the
buffet and the safety deposit vaults,
where one of them, who claimed to be
the owner of the structure which
Thomas Lowry sold a few days ago,
said he had bales of the long green
corded up.
Later the two strangers visited an
upper room, vacant one, and were
joined by third man. The "owner' of
the building left the room for short
time and the two millionaires who re-
manned began to flip dollars.
Johnson was not asked to Join the
game and his friend seemed to be los
ing to the third man. Soon he asked
for the loan of a dollar, and as he had
few millions in the safety deposit
vaults Johnson handed over the silver
cart wheel, and another, and more of
them, until sixteen had been trans
ferred from his pocket.
Then the "owner" of the building ap-
peared and raised a great row because
the men were gambling.
Get! or I will have you arrested" he
cried.
I'VE all scooted,"- said Johnson. 81
didn't want to be arrested, but would
like to get my money back"
Later in the evening Maxwell was
arrested in the building and johnson
says he was one Of the sharpers.

NO BLANKSALLOWED
Judge Harrison Will Not Per.
NIT Them on Primary Ballot

Judge A NJ. Harrison has held that
the county auditor shall not leave
blanks on the primary election ballots
In order to permit voters to write in
the names of men who have not filed
their declarations of candidacy
This point was raised by the Demo-
Gratis, who sought to have blanks left
Tor the reason that in some districts
candidates had not filed for all the
places.
County Auditor Scott referred the
matter to the court and Judge Har-
rison held there should be no blank
spaces.
There has been some question as to
whether candidates who filed on Aug.
81 can have their names printed on the
ticket, but Mr.. Scott holds they can,
and In explaining his position said:
The previous primary election came
on Sept. 16. 1 held that Aug. 26 was
the last day for filing. A man named
Mccormick came in Aug. q and want
ed TO file for the Democratic nomina-
ton as alderman in the Eighth ward
refused to permit him to do So He
took the case TO Judge MCGEE, and the
court issued an order for me to place
his name on the primary election ball
lot. So, following the precedent set
by this ruling, and also the opinion of
the attorney general, for this primary
election, ruled that Aug. 81 was the
last day for filing, instead of Aug 3d."
If there is any opposition to the
filings of the men who appeared on
Aug. 81 it will come from the Repub-
licans, for, with few exceptions, the
candidates who filed on Wednesday
were Democrats who presented them
selves in order that the ticket should
be filed Most of the Republicans filed
early in the campaign.
1t is not expected that any effort
will be made to displace the candidates
who filed Aug. 81, but if there is any
move it will come from Republicans
who may seek to prevent any can
didates appearing against them in their
election DISTRICTS
