TRIAL OF SWINDLE SYNDICATE.
Operations Extended Over Half the
Country.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Ia, Dec. T.
Charged with using the mails to de-
fraud, j. G. Mabray and four score
others, including many men of prom
inece, will be placed on trial today
1t is alleged that hundreds of thou
sands of dollars have been secured by
the ''swindle syndicate" and many of
the victims are men of considerable
wealth and business acumen who
have been taken in" by fake foot
races, wrestling matches, horse races
and other sports" The ramifications
of the syndicate extend over half the
country, and the swndlers lived off
the fat of the land as a result of their
profitable deals.
AS a sample of the "swindle syndi-
Gates methods, the cases of w. H.
McGrath and Fl. j. Hollister, both
wealthy citizens of Minneapolis, may
be cited
McGrath met his fall in August,
1907, when, as the story goes, he met
Lewis Stowe a boyhood friend whose
father was prominent Episcopal
rector of Minnesota. Stowe intro
duced Frank Myers to McGrath.
Myers represented himself, it seems.
as professor OF physical culture and
he had cousin, George Bennett, by
name, who was private secretary to
some Pittsburg milliOnaires who were
sojourning in Council Bluffs
As matter of diversion the mil
lionaires We're amusing themselves
with various sporting events and Ben
nett saw chance to make some
money II hc could only get somebody
TO help him in the game. MrGrath
managed to come across for $4,000,
brought IT to Council Bluffs and got
in on wrestling match with the
usual result that one of the wrestlers
met with an accident and he lost his
money.
In the deal it appears that Stowe
was ruined and had to borrow money
with which to get out of Council
Bluffs.
HOLSTER also parted with his $1O,-
600 on fake wrestling match about
May "A, 1907. Through various man
ipulations he was induced to come to
Omaha to buy some damaged grain.
Something came up to delay the deal
and while waiting HOLSTER was in
troduced to the Pittsburg millionaires
who were sojourning in Council
Bluffs, and a wrestling match was
arranged. 1t took his $40 600.
Other victims We're Samuel Sutor,
of Cass Lake, Mimi. and A. Harring-
ton, of Minneapolis. Each of these
gentlement went into the game for
200 apiece. Sutors fondness for
horse racing him his money. for
the jockey riding the horse he had
bet on in a race pulled off here fell
from the saddle during the race and
was injured something awful, with
the result that everybody had to hurry
away to keep out of trouble, and Sutor
was hurried away with the rest. leav-
ing his $4,000 in the hands of some
guardian angel who forgot to return
it to him. Another athletic event spoil
ed Harrington's chance of doing some
thing else with his $4,000.

STOCK MOVEMENT
EXPECTED EARLY
Cars Have Been Ordered for This
Point and Agent Instructed to
Receive Shipments.

With regard to the freight situation
in North Yakima more trouble Is be-
ing experienced in securing from the
west here than from the eastern sec
tons the actual needs of the commu-
nifty. Freight from the sound cities
is always in greater demand at this
point for the reason that the short dis
lance of shipment necessary causes
local dealers to buy more lightly than
they do from the far east and southern
sections.
Orders were received in the local
freight office this morning to receive
freight consigned to all points west of
Paradise, Montana, and so the fact be-
comes evident that freight business
will be cleaned. up at this end of the
line in a short time.
Closely following these instructions
stock men have ordered cars for the
transportation of sheep and cattle,
said cars to be divided between this
point and Wapato.

A STEADY DRAIN.
Sick Kidneys Weaken the Whole Body
Make You Ill, Languid and
Depressed.

Weak kidneys weaken the body
through the continual drainage of life
giving albumen from the blood into
the urine, and substitution of pois-
onous uric acid that goes broadcast
through the system, sowing the seeds
of disease. Loss of albumen causes
weakness, languor, depression. Uric
poisoning causes rheumatic pains, ner-
v%ousness, nausea, cricks in the back,
gravel and kidney stones. The proper
treatment is a kidney treatment, aud
the best remedy is Doan's Kidney Pills.
William Parkes, living in Red Cloud,
Neb., says: "For about three years
my kidneys were. in a disordered condi-
ton and [ was obliged to get up three
or four times at night to void the Sc
cretions. | vas also subject to dizzy
spells. l have now used Doan's Kid
ney Pills for some time and have the
greatest relief therefrom. My kidneys
give me no further trouble and the
dizzy spells are a thing of the past"
Plenty more proof like this from Nc
Cook people. Call at a drug store and
ask what customers report.
