Manila

Last week a strange gentleman put
in few day s with the farmers sur
rounding Manila, looking up pros
pective buyers for car load of thor
oughbred hogs which he was about to
ship into Manila and sell, this gentle
man represented that he was a thor
oughbred hog man from Patton, Iowa.
After he had interested the farmers
in the hog deal in good shape he
sprung hog remedy that he claimed
he used great deal of, stating that
he found it very valuable in his bust
ness. He managed to interest several
and secured written orders froml them
for amounts ranging from $40 to $50.
To make long story short the
stranger cashed the notes in the bank
and the patrons are waking up to
find that they have bought large
quantity of stock food for very high
price and many consider it entirely
worthless.
One of the greatest sensations that
has occurred in Manila for some time,
was when the patrons of Gard
ners butchershop went after their
Sunday morning meat to find his shop
locked up and later found that he had
taken his wife and children and left
for parts unknown the night before.
Mr.. Gardner has been in Manila
about year and appeared like very
fine man. He was interested in a
business with Dan Steel who bought
Mr.. Gardner's interest last fall, short
| ly after Gardner bought All Miller S
shop and began business for himself,
everyone thought that his business
was satisfactory to him and was very
much surprised at his STANCE action.
Since he left it has been learned that
he was heavily obligated and it is
thought that he became discouraged
and took this way to free himself
from his incumbrance.
