A New SWindIe.

A new swindle is being worked on
the gullible farmer who is always
eager to get something for nothing
A well dressed stranger stays
all night with the intended victim
and during the stay reports that he
has lost @ valuable diamond pin
somewhere about the place. After
searching for half day he takes his
leave feeling badly about his loss
and requests the family to keep a
lookout for the pin, adding that he
will pay 500 for its recovery. A
few days later a bum appears on the
place and accidently shows a pin
exactly like the one they had been
looking for and casully remarks that
he found it just outside the gate.
After some dickering the pin Is sold
for $25 and sometimes $50. The
farmer hen writes to the address
left by the stranger and asks him to
bring his hundred and get his pin.
He never comes as the bum was in
the deal and the pin cost 20 cents-Ex

county court house at 1890 to day
and died In St. Paul's Sanitarium at
Sis this evening.
Robert r. Parker, Assistant Dis
trict Clerk Of Dallas County, has been
placed under arrest.
The prominence Of the men made
the tragedy take on the feature OF q
sensation seldom equaled in Dallas,
and 1t was more than an hour before
the crow could be cleared from the
Courthouse. Bell did not speak
after he was shot. One bullet passed
through the body just below the
heart, and another passed through
the neck
The only eyewitness to the tragedy
was A. B. Rswlins, the District Clerk,
and he refused to make a statement,
further than say:
"The trouble started over some
official papers IN my Office. Person
alities developed and the shooting
followed. Bell never spoke after be-
ing shot"
Parker was taken to the County
Jail and locked up on q charge o.
assault to murder, which was changed
to murder tonight. Bell had nc
weapon on him. Parker refuses to
make a statement to any one, bu,
his lawyer. No antemortem state
ment could be obtained from Bell.
Attorneys who were close to Bel
socially and professionally say the
shooting grew out Of papers In ,
divorce suit In which Bell was one o
the attorneys. Bell was born nea
Atlanta, Ga, about tbirty.six year
ago, and had lived in Dallas tifteel
years.
