Portland Man Invests $4,000 In
Gold Nine
CONFIDENCE MEMS SCHEME
Two Confidence Men Sell Worthless
Gold Mine to an Old Man Who Is
Now at the Point Of Death
From Heart Failure.

Portland, Feb. 20.-Lying at the
point Of death at his home rs miles
south Of this city, man rs years old,
who last Friday was victimized out OF
$4,000 by two confidence men who
used the antiquated gold brick trick
Saturday. When the old man became
aware that he had been swindled, he
had an attack Of heart disease. His
relatives today reported the matter to
the police. but refused to make the
mans name known, as they stated that
publicity would kill him. The conf
dence men, after scheming several
weeks, managed to sell the old man a
gold mine. The first installment be-
ing $4,000. After securing that sum.
as usual, they posted letter to him
stating that they presumed he knew
he had been swindled. The letter
stated that 1t would do the old man no
good to make any fuss, as he would be
jeered by his friends. and concluded
by advising him to keep quiet and
make the best of it.
When the old man got the letter
according to a statement of his rela-
tives, he tainted and became delirious.
During his lucid moments. they say,
he would beg piteously that his name
be kept a secret. The detectives have
little hope of capturing the two men
owing to the meager description.

Gray and others, announcing that they were ready to close the deal After they got here they had their samples assayed and their returns were only three or four dollars a ton, whereupon they threw up the deal. Mir. Gray says the return was better than he should have expected from the samples they had for the reason that he has never con- sidered the rock in the croscut as worth anything. The crosscut was driven only to connect with the big dike further on. He considers the test unfair to the mine for the reason that they refused to take samples from the real ore body.

A PRETTY WEDDING
AT THE CATHEDRAL

bon. Mrs. George was becomingly
gowned in her own wedding dress-an
exquisite creation of white brocaded
Canton crepe, made in princess style
entrain, over a white silk robe and
adorned with Duchess lace. Her pic
ture hat was white and she bore a
shower bouquet of white carnations.
Pretty young Mrs. Haley also wore her
crepe t~affeta, with elegant celebrations
in pompadour lace. She wore a pic
ture a in white, and her flowers du-
plicated Mrs. Georges, being also tied
with the long ribbons of bridal tulle.
Thus there were three lovely brides, in
reality, in the charming procession
which left the church to the melodious
Wedding March by Mendelssohn, and
the interesting fact was universally
commented upon by the guests, the
three children of Mr.. and Mrs. Haley
having all been married within the
yea not yet half gone. Mrs. Haley
appeared in IN elaborate and exceed
ingly becoming costume Of pearl gray
satin, garnitured with velvet and rare
old lace. Her bouquet was of hello
trope sweetpeas with h%armonizing
streamers of tulle ribbon.
Following the ceremony the we'd
ding supper was served at the Haley
residence to the members of the bridal
party. The dining room was lone in
green for this pleasant event, ferns and
smilax being artistically employed to
bank the nantes and festoon the cleo
troliers. The festive board itself,
however, vas all in purest white, the
only suggestion of color being the
faintest shade of pink which relieved
the exquisite centerpiece of sweetpeas.
The place cards bore clever pen
sketches of a bride, and the souvenirs
were fairy white slippers which served
as bon bon receptacles for the now
minis. Cakes, ices and all the other
accessories were in white n the ef-

The presents received by the fortu-
nate young people were rarely beauti-
full, the list including solid silver and
cut glass, art linens, rare china and
