Practically all of this bullion is

PREY UPON THE FARMER.
Peddlers Gain the Confidence o, Sol,

Peddlers Gain the Confidence Of Sol,
TiIler, and Then "Work" Him.
The financial panic in the East sent
the "yeggmen" to the West to prey
upon the smaller banks of the country.
for it was rightfully supposed that
they would carry a large amount of
money Along with the "yeggmen"
came another class who saw a way in
which to prey upon the farmers. This
was dishonest class of grocery ped
dlers who have been working in the
counties in the, Mitchell district with
more or less success. These grocery
peddlers are not connected with any
reliable house, but take the RESPONSE
bility upon themselves. They reached
the conclusions that it any class of
people would take their money from
the banks and hoard it at home, it
would be the farmer, and so the gro
Gerry peddler has started through the
country with a cheap proposition to
sell groceries.
The plan of the peddler, as it has
been successfully worked, is to call
on the farmer and take small order
at first, asking merely for a dollar in
cash to help pay his travelling ex-
penses In the course of week the
grocery order arrives, filled to the let
ter, with everything that the order
contained and the goods of better
grade than was anticipated. 1t is the
policy to let the cheapness of the
goods and his seeming reliability soak
in for a week, when he returns for
second order. And here is where the
swindle comes in. A farmer in an ad-
joining county was drawn into buying
a second order of the peddler, and as
the goods were cheap, he was induced
to invest about SIS in grocery BILL
The peddler asked $25 cash on the
order, and as he proved perfectly hon
est in the first instance, the farmer
trusted to the honesty of the peddler
a second time, and that is where he
lost out. The peddler took the money,
assured the farmer that the groceries
would be sent soon, and then departed
to work his scheme on others, plenty
of whom he found.

Secret enemies who, in seeking to

known, have baff1ed- the roads au-
thorities, so cleverly was the work
done. but expert detectives who now
are on the case, expect to unravel the
mystery.
Certain little peculiarities in the
wrecking of two of the company's
trains during the last few weeks
caused the officials to suspect that
some one was purposely trying to
harm them. Then it is said it was
discovered that the last wreck. caused
by the burning OF bridge, was the
direct result of the work of an incen-
diary. This was followed few days
later by the burning Of locomotive
left on the tracks over night, after its
machinery had been, deliberately
broken and twisted out of shape. Still
later the gasoline motor was visited
during the night and left mass of
ashes.
Spikes have been lifted from rails;
switches. turned as though by acci-
dent, and one by one the incidents of
the last few weeks are being shown
the work of spite or maniac. The
Crouch line, as the railroad is known,
has been operating less than year.
and has operated its thirty-nine miles
Of track under a constant hoodoo. 1t

While 1t was first stated that tho

While there is nothing but suspicion
on which to hold Bowen, he refuses
