POLICE LOOK FOR
SMOOTH SWZNDL Err
PROMOTER WANTED BY SAN
RERNARDINo OFFICIALS
Claimed to Have Authority to Sell
Mining Claims, but Merchants
Become Suspicious and
Secure Warrant

BY Associated Press.
SAN BERNARDINO, Feb. 2S.-Local
officers are looking for a sharper,
known as =. z. Knapp, said to be from
Los Angeles, who attempted a slick
swindle at Victorville this week which
promised to net him 1925, but which in
fact brought him but $45 owing to the
character of the fellow being discov-
cred.
He appeared in Victorvile and repre-
scented that he had authority to sell
certain mining claims known to have
considerable value. He made a deal
with Robert Turner, merchant, for
1925. He was paid $25 in cash and
given check for $500. He then went
10 Richardson Bros, also merchants,
and represented that he must get
to Los Angeles after thay had refused
TO cash the Turner check. To COM
promise they paid him $40 cash and q
check for $3.50 and took up the Turner
check.
About that time Turner got suspi-
cious and made for the train, catching
it just as it was pulling out. He asked
Knapp about the matter and was in
formed that it was too late, that the
check had already been cashed. Tur-
ner soon found that Richardson had
the check and they then stopped pay
ment on the Richardson check, and the
officers are now looking for Knapp. 1t
is believed he will be caught.

same town in Wisconsin, in which the
inheritance is awaiting Hance. The in
formation was received by Cause in
private letter, which said that at

the bare fact that the inheritance was
awaiting Hance and asking if he could
aid in locating him.
