Farmer Pursued Swindler
Until He Died in Desert

At length the swindler crossed the
border into Mexico with which coun-
try he evidently was familiar. Here
he had the better OF Grabill. who, an
indiana farmer ana miIlwright, was
confused by the language and the
manner of the people. But If he could
not keep close to the game himself,
Grabill had the shrewdness and the
determination to employ an agent that
could. and so he engaged a Mexican
detective.
Grabill and the detective followed
tn eswindler into the California desert.
The Indianan had no hope of recov-
ertng any of the money that had SO
easily been taken from him, but he
was dead set on making. sure that the
man that had taken 1t should never
enjoy 1t. The pursuit wore him out
and he stopped in village, but the de-
tective pressed on.
Within a few weeks the detective
returned to Grabili and gave him suf-
ficient proof that he had caught up
with the swindler at a lonely ranch
house, that the man was at bay and
desperate. that they fought and that
he shot the <swindler dead. His body
was buried In the desert.
Satisfied that in this final deal he
was getting his moneys worth. Grabill
paid the detective and set out for
Indiana. He had boen too busy to
write home.

satisfaction of knowing that the bones
OF the man that swindled him Of s3,-

Southern California desert. Newton A.
Grabill. mill owner, OF Daleville, re-
turned home today after ten thous-
and mile chase and found that his
creditors, believing him dead. had Pc
titioned the Delaware county court to
wind up his estate. Grabiil Is ~ years
old, but he is strong of body and grim
of will.
One day last June Grabili was ap-
preached at his mill by a man that
said he represented a brokerage firm
at Chicago. The stranger had pros
pectuses OF a gold mine in Colorado
and persuaded Grabill that 1T would be
q profitable investment for his savings.
Grabill handed the supposed brokers
agent $500 in cash and made an ap-
pointment with him 10 meet him In
indianapolis and turn over the remain
der of the amount lie intended to In
vest
At indianapolis Grabill learned that
he had been tricked. Angry and sore
with chagrin he took up the trail Of
the swindler. First IL led to st. Louis
and then to Denver. From that city
to New Mexico and Arizona Grabill fol-
lowed. The confidence man knew the
victim was on the track and he fled
without rest, doubling through the
southwestern states.
