A Swindle on Lawyers.

Kansas City Star.
Lawyers are the victims Of a new
swindling scheme that has recently
found its way West from New York and
Chicago, and which has been successful.
~ tried in Kansas City. So successful
have been the manipulators Of the trick
that q st. Paul publishing house has
issued a circular, warning members Of
the legal profession. The swindle, as
described by the circular, is effected in
the following manner:
A man of good appearance introduces
himself to a lawyer and says he is FROM
some distant city, explaining that he
has come on by appointment to close a
settlsment with q young fellow who, be-
cause of his spendthrift habits, had been
cut of in the will of a wealthy relative,
and who has been contesting the will.
Papers for the settlement are drawn up
in consultation with the lawyer, who re.
ceives for his fee a worthless check.
The young contestant is then sent for,
and in accepting the settlement he
makes a demand for expenses, usually
from f2s to $Ioo, aud as he wants cash
instead of the visiting lawyers check.
the attorney is asked to identify the
stranger at a bank. This he usually
does with disastrous results to himself.
While it is known that several Kansas
City lawyers have been duped by this
trick, chagrin has prevented their re-
porting the confidence men to the police.
They have silently pocketed a returned
check marked mo funds"

to the task of pushing further west.
The hope of reaching Oregon or Cali

Brigham was anxious to place the

Early in the morning so the sun

Il boatload was taken across and held
On the opposite shore. Then
a thousand head were driven some
distance up the the stream and forced
into the river, good swimmers would
climb upon the backs of some of the
strongest oxen and slapping them on
sides of the faces would guide them
into the current and soon we had a
string of animals reaching from one
shore to the other. OF course it was

up the Animas river was in dispute be-

acts under authority from Hartman,
as to what their next move would be
he said:
"We expect to complete a line
south to a connection with the South

arrangements can be made with soma
road running into 4CNlor"'-
Or Pueblo, and with the

may begin construction on that line
very shortly.
"We have projected two lines east
from Medano pass in the SGngre de
Christie range, one to Colorado Springs
and another to Pueblo. Much
depends upon what arrangements
can be made as to which line will be
constructed.
AS to the two Grategical points on
this line, the Medano pass and the
pass at the head of the south fork of
the Rio Grande, both are secured.
Future developments will be await
ed with interest. One thing is very
positive, and that is that the line
would very materially shorten the
distance from Denver to Durango,
and would pass through country
with a very great tonnage both
present and prospective.-Del Norte
