Vaughn Alias Gordon and
Hotel Men Are Warned.

Secretary c. D. Thompson of the
West Virginia Hotel Keepers Asso-
citation is to send out warnings to the
members against man known by
the name OF Devaughn Gordon who
is accused of distributing worthless
checks. The following account of his
operations is taken from a Middleport
o., paper:
Mr.. Devaughn, hailing from Wash
ington, Pa, has been circulating
among Middleport business men for
some time past, negotiating with the
board of trade with view of locating
a glass factory in their midst.
Mr. Devaugh registered at the Ho-
tel Allen as Mr.. Gordon of Wash
ington. Pa, but this the board of
trade did not learn until after his de-
parture.
He talked freely to members of
the board about the FAMILY of VIII
s. Davis, former Pomeroyans, and
said that he was brother to the De-
Waugh who had married Miss Edith
Davis.
He was one of those clever, smooth
guys who knew just exactly how to
work the boys, hence he ''stung"
he stung quite fe wof them to the
amount of $50. SIS. SO and s5. and
while the members of the board were
expecting the man behind the promo
tion Of the glass factory to appear
daily and hourly as he had been tel
graphed for, he, the Mr.. Devaughn
alias Gordon suddenly disappeared.
The board learned late rthat he left
on B. & o. train out of Mason for
points up the river.
Mr.. Thompson has received word
that the same game has been work
ed elsewhere in the state. so he has
decided to send out warnings to 9TH
er hotel keepers.
