Seven Men Secure Savings of
Years From Visitor From
Sprague, Wash.
Ten Thousand Dollars Wagered
on Horse Whose Jockey
Falls in Field
[Seecial Dispatch 10 The CALI

LOS ANGELES, March 10.-W. G.
at Sprague, Wash, was fleeced out Of
$4,000 yesterday by a gang of seven
men, who by persuading Mitchell to bet
on certain horse in a race in an al
falfa field. obtained his savings of
years.
Even when the supposed leader of the
gang was arrested by the police here
Mitchell refused to believe he had been
swindled, but insisted the other men
also had lost money on the race.
The man under arrest is J. D. Ward,
who the police say IS one of the clev-
crest confidence men in the country. and
one who has arranged some of the big
swindles that have been worked sue
cessfully in the northwest during the
last two years.
According to MitcheIls story Ward
appeared in Sprague and persuaded
Mitchell to take vacation and come to
Los Angeles.
After arriving here Mitchell cashed a.
draft for $4,000 and went with Ward
and accomplices of the latter to Mon
rovia, where a race between two horses
was arranged.
Mitchell put up $4,000 and Ward ap-
peared ito do the same, the money be-
ing wagered against $4,000 put up by
Wards accomplices.
The jockey ON Mitche1rs horse fell
off and the other horse won. In the
excitement the man who had been hold
ing the stakes disappeared.
When arrested, Ward was taking
Mitchell home to Washington and the
police had great difficulty convincing
Mitchell that Ward was not his true
friend.
Bud Claiborne, one OF the Jockeys
believed to have ridden in the race,
was arrested late tonight, and the po-
lice expect TO have other members of
the gang in custody soon.

EXILE FOR YOUNG
NAVAL BENEDICK
Secret Marriage to Actress Ru-
mOred as Cause for Trans
fer to Samoa
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

VALLEJO, March 10.-That Lieuten-
torpedo boat destroyed Goldsborough,
is to be transferred, to the lonely sta
tion at Samoa because of his secret
marriage to a member of the Blue
Moon company is the persistent rumor
in naval circles here today. Client has
left for Vancouver and Commander
Phelps does not deny that the young
officer is under orders to embark on 4
sailing vessel on March 26 for Samoa,
where he will take up new duties at
the naval station. The connection be-
tween the secret marriage TO the
actress. which occurred during five
days leave in Kansas City. can not,
however, be established automatically.
The seige of the heart of the stage
beauty, who was said to have herself
won the heart of a classmate of the
lieutenant, was raised. She came to
the coast with the Blue Moon" COM
pany as the fiancee of a naval officer
stationed in the east. who had request
ed that she be entertained by his class
mates here during her stay. AT the
end of the weeks run of the Blue
Moon" in San Francisco there were
pledges of lasting friendship which did
not include the officer in the east.
|. Thereafter, 1t is safd, Gnent began
to use all the influence at his com
mand to secure a furlough and took
no part in the local social activities. 1t
was noticed by the obseryant people
of the naval set that he sent many
kilograms and finally secured a five
days leave, departing at once for Kan
sas City, where the BLUE Moon" COM
pany was then playing. Lieutenant
Client admitted to close friends that
the marriage to his friends former
fiancee occurred at that time
Despite the strenuous attempts of
those interested in naval and social
affairs, it can not be learned whether
or not Mrs. Ghent will accompany her
dashing husband to Samoa. Beyond
the absence of the denial of Clients
transfer, and the coincidence of news
of the marriage and the transfer leak
ing out simultaneously, there is really
a tantalizing lack of positive informa-
