Speaking Of the death Of MI. Wick two
weeks ago the Walsh Go. Republican
says: Mr.. Wick was we'll known in
Grafton where he made his home for
many years moving to Mandt six years
ago last spring where he has resided
since.
Mr.. Wick was born in Fyrisdal, Tele-

and emigrated to this country in the
early sixties. He settled on farm six
miles northeast of Park River in 1881
and made that his home excepting few
years when the family resided in Graf

Mr.. Wick was a man of sterling qualit.
les and unquestionable integrity and he
was a man universally liked and respect
ed. He was one of those fine characters
that commanded the respect of all he
met. He was always willing to assist
the needy, give them a helping hand
and many tear will be shed by those
that he helped.

Two Crooks Captured

Charles Atkinson returned from the
twin cities Monday. He in company
with F. @. Morris were looking after Mr..
Morris interests in the matter of the ar
rest of two of the gang of swindlers who
victimized Mr.. Morris in a horse deal
some months ago. The two men were
arrested at Neilsvi]le, Wis. and have
been identified by Mr.. Morris and sever
al other victims, who number among
prominent business men of the north.
west.
They have been making regular bus
mess of selling horses, getting the cash
and then getting away with both the
horses and cash.
The principal featuresj.of the conf
dence game were for the principal fellow
to advertise a lot of cheap horses. He is
not dealer but is extensively engaged
in other business, with a fine office.
With Mr.. Morris the crook reported HIM
self as dealer in patent roofing. He
was selling the horses for deceased re-
lative's widow, and wanted to get rid of
them as soon as possible so as to attend
to his own business, hence sells for low
figures and wants cash.
When the sale is made and the cash
turned over, confederate makes 1T his
business to inform the purchaser that
the horses are not sound, etc., that he
has been taken in, or anything else to
make him think he has been fooled. 1t
turns out that the horses have actually
been "doped' and by a little manipula-
tion the buyer is shown by the confeder-
ate that the horses are not sound. The
buyer is naturally sick of his bargain
and goes back to the first party to get
back his money and return the horses.
He is perfectly willing, but of course in
the meantime has used the cash. He
has note against big man up town
for considerable more than the sum.
The man up town on being interviewed,
unfortunately is out of cash also but will
give his own note for the amount, and
also give the first note to the buyer as
collateral, and will send the amount due
within a few days to the buyer at his
home town. OF course lot of con talk
is made to let the buyer see what large
business the latter gentleman is doing.
The money is never sent and the men
and horses disappear.
AS we said, these men with other con
federates have been doing this conf
dence business for long time, and all
over the country, and have victlnized a
large number of people. One of their
victims, however, who gave up 5000, got
onto the trail and stayed with 1t until
two of them were caught. Another was
in custody but got away before the reg
ular officers arrived.
The two men in custody have served
time in Illinois penitentiary as showl
by photographs. They have plenty o
money, and a mother and wife are as
sisting them, with the best attorney
money can hire. They are fighting ex
tradition, and every step possible. l
