WORK CLEVER SN|ND[E
Wealthy Citizen of Elton Bun
coed Out Of Nearly a Thou
sand Dollars
THREE MEN ARE INVOLVED
Pretended to Be Buying Farm Lands,
and Then Work Around to a Wager
Victim Left With Box Of "Mon-
ey," Which Proves to Be Two Little
Rocks-other News.

Ottumwa Oct. 29.-R NJ. Bowen, q
don. is a poorer but wiser man and
two clever confidence men are $3.50
better off as the result of an old, old
game which they worked on Bowan
last Wednesday.
Last Monday, stranger whose name
is unknown, and who claimed to- be
from Des Moines, arrived in Eldon and
hunted up Mr.. Bowen. Upon finding
the old man the stranger explained that
he was out To buy three farms, one for
himself and two for his relatives. and
asked Bowen ii he would go with him
and look over the land. The stranger
said that he understood that Bowen
was we'll acquainted with the value OF
lands and offered to pay him " per
day for his trouble.
On Wednesday ne and the stranger
drove to the farm of George Warren,
three miles north Of Eldon, to look over
some timber. While there they met
another stranger who said that he was
somewhat of sport, being q native OF
Kentucky. He wanted to play cards,
but both Bowen and the man with
him refused.
The Kentucky man then got sore"
and wanted to bet that he had more
money than Bowen and his companion
together. This bet was accepted and
the three men drove to Ottumwa. Ar
irving here, Bowen went to one OF tha
local banks and borrowed 1888 with
which to make his bet good and the
result was that he and the Des Moines
man, with what they had with them
and the $3.50 additional, had more mon
ey than the man from Kentucky.
Then the money was all counted and
put in little box which was given to
Bowen. The Kentucky man, having
been made penniless as result of the
bet, secured railroad fare from Bowen
and left Then Bowen and the Des
Moines man started back for Eldo1-
The Des Moines man and Bowen
drove az far as Agency and there Bow
en- got out to walk nome. The other
man told him to keep all the money in
the box, and that he would come to Ell
don in day or two and get his share.
Bowen, in confidence, told some Of his
friends about the box and showed them
the money. At first he refused, saying
that he wanted to wait until the 9TH
er man came. Finally he was prevailed
upon to open the box and upon doing
so he found no glittering gold or rolls
of bills-instead two little rocks.
The matter has been reported to the
no1ice h,,t 90 far no clue to the where
abouts of the strangers has been found.
