TOO SWINDLERS'
CLEVER WORK

Denver, Nov. 12.-The manage
ment of four stores in Denver and pos
sibly six would like to get track of as
clever pair OF swindlers as ever
visited the city. Each store has lost
$3.50 by the shrewdness of a man and
woman who were good at forging sig
natures and raising checks. The
scheme worked was this:
The woman would go into a store
buy a small article and present 90
cent check in payment. The
credit man of the store would invari-
ably o. X. the check. The woman
instead of returning to the clerk from
whom she had bought the article and
Hh whom she left it to get the
o'lit mans o. X, would go outside
an meet her partner. He would
raise,he check to $3.50. and she
woulu to the cashiers window of
the stof and cash it. This trick was
puiied oAin four stores and prob
ably six al SO far as the police and
store manassents know the couple
