THE TOWNSHIP SwINDLE.
Hundreds of Fasteners Fleeced by West
ern Land Operators.

Returned home-seekers from the
southwest report that hundreds of per-
sons in all parts of the country have
been feeeed recently by means of the
townsite fake The swindle has been
extensively worked in oklahoma, Kan
sas, Texas, and other southwestern
states in the last two years.
The fake is worked in this way; The
swlndlers pretend to lay out new town
site and announce that the lots will be
distributed by drawing numbers Shares
in the company are sold for. say, $50
each The lucky number drawn first
takes the best lot. The indueement
held out is that every shareholder has
an equal chance TO draw a business lot,
worth $500 or $1,000
As a rule the land taken is adjacent
TO some railroad. \ few buildings are
put up, but as soon as the stock has
been sold and the drawing held the pro-
posed new town languiSheS and eventual
" gravitates back to grass and ravine.
The shareholders, instead of owning lots
worth from 500 up. find themselves in
possession of land practically worthless.
Dozens of these abandoned townsites
are to be found along the lines Of the
Rock Island the Frisco, the Katy and
other southern railroads. They are over
grown with weeds, and as the title rests
| in others no attempt ut farming them is
made.
Oklahoma has been the paradise of
the townsite takers, as the country
there is new and towns are generally
believed outside of the territory to be
greatly needed, One promoter has made
100000 in the last eighteen months
working this scheme on one townsite.
and is reputed to have cleaned up $40
900 on another.
Agents who sell the stock are paid by
commission, sometimes getting as much
as a half. One agent made $4,000 in
commissions last year. He does extern
siye advertising in farm papers and
weekly newspapers in eastern communi.
ties reputed to possess savings.

Good old Col Iysander Cutler. the
first commander of the Sixth. had written
the president of the chamber of com
mercc that his boys would reach AIilwau-
kec about the middle of the month; had
told him that they had been good boys
for three years and had promised to be
have until the trouble ended: said that
he was prouder Of having led such a body
OF soldiers than of anything else in his
experimental he had since commanded
Il brigade and division of sixteen reg
imerts: telling him that his old regiment
had greatly honored the state and served
the nation most Loyalty and faithfully
that all we're heroes. After telling the
president these and ether things he eX-
pressed the hope that the people of Mil
waukee would give the command gen
erous welcome.
1t was only necessary for President
iTallmadge to let the public know that
the regiment had re-enlisted and was
coming home, to awaken interest that
quickly crystallized in an organization
charged with preparations for a welcome,
reception and banquet that should
show the tourists that the people appre-
ciated their effort grateful for
their services.
What d welcome it was; what rccep-
tiun; what a banquet

a home company and portion of the
