FALSE AGENT GOT MONEY.

Special to Times Republican.
Iowa City, March 2.-It has just be-
come public that large number of
Iowa City's citizens were relieved of
their money by one of the smoothest
games ever worked in this vicinity.
Some time in the early part of Jan
uary, a stranger visited our citizens
claiming to represent a western mag
aZine. He secured a large number of
subscriptions at $1.50 per year. and
four handsomely bound books were
to be given with each and every
years subscription.
Everything was supposed to be all
right until one OF the subscribers Won
dering why his magazines and books
did not come sent letter to the head
office at Denver for information. A
reply soon came to the effect that
they had no representative in this
vicinity and If any person was collect
ing money it was without their knoWi-
edge and permission.
The receipts given bear the name
of the publishing company and are
signed by the supposed agent. There
is practically no clue to work on as
sufficient time has expired to insure
the grafter's safe getaway.
