ALLEGED SW|NDLE BY
PROGRESSIVE NOTES
Chicago Man Claims to Have
Lost Over $4,000. -.

Chicago, Oct. 21.-An alleged swim
ding scheme by means of progress
sive notes is under investigation by
private detectives in the employment
of one of the alleged victims, who has
lost more than 1000.
In connection with the alleged
swindles Frank E. Mick, real estate
dealer, was arrested on charges of
operating a confidence game. The
warrant was issued on a complaint
signed by Harvey w. Murray.
Murray has been close friend of
Mick for many years and he now
says Mick used this friendship to de-
fraud him. He says he has paper to
the face value Of $4,000, in notes and
trust and warranty deeds, which, he
says, were given him by Mick as Sc
curity for loans aggregating $31,75O.
Murray says the paper is worthless
and that many business men have
been swindled in the same manner.
He says they have pocketed their
losses rather than admit being
"stung."
Mick, it is said, arranged with Muir
ray that he should borrow money
from him and take as security the
paper of persons who he said had
purchased real estate from him. First
Murray was given a note of $4,000 to
secure a loan of $1,700. When the
paper became due Mick took it up,
it is charged, giving another note for
a large sum to cover principal and
interest and a difference received in
cash.
Other notes and deeds were brought
in from time to time and each met in
the manner of the first, says Murray,
until by last spring he had $31,750 tied
up with Mick and had received no
returns.

A special telegram from St. Paul
to the Duluth Evening Herald says
of Governor Eberhart's appointment
of w. E. Hale to the position of
Judge of the district court of Henne.
pin county:
Governor Eberhart's appoint
ment of w. E. Hale to the Hennepin
county judgeship, made vacant by
the resignation of Judge Frank c.
Brooks, is generally taken as COM
plimentary to United States Senator
Knute, Nelson in that it clears up
a judicial muddle which has existed
since Senator Nelson's unsuccessful
efforts to land Judge Hale in the
federal judgeship, made vacant by
the death of Judge Lochren and
which was temporarily filled by
Milton D. Purdy.
Senator Nelson protested against
the appointment of Purdy and pre-
vented his confirmation by the
senate.
AS far as known no one saw Gov
ernor Eberhart personally to get the
appointment of Judge Hale, but it is
understood that the long distance
telephone was in use for some min
utes prior to the announcement OF
his selection. Who was at the other
end of the telephone is not known.
Judge Hale is Republican. He
was born in West Virginia in 1845.
He has resided at Plainview and
Red Wing and was county attorney
of Goodhue county for one year.
He moved to Minneapolis in 1927

A Texas Ranger" Coming.

The theatre-goers of Bemidji have
treat in store when "A Texas
Ranger" comes to the City Opera
House, on Oct. 18th.
This is one of those quiet melo-
dramas that burns powder. Still
Astounding in heart interest and
thrilling climaxes, it tells a beautiful
love story of the plains, with just
enough comedy to relieve the in
tensity of the dramatic situations.
The story is told in five acts, and
the company carry all of their own
scenery and stage equipment for the
entire production.
The plot and scenes are laid along
the Rio Grande River in the early
nineties, very interesting period in
the history of Texas.
Mr.. Ernest Stout, the author, has
added but very little fictitious en-
Enlistment to the already interest
ing facts. The costumes which are
historically correct is a feature of
the performance. "A Texas Ranger''
comes to Manager Cunningham
highly recommended and he person
ally guarantees it to his patrons.
