GREAT
SWINDLE
VICTIMS NEAR OMAHA
LOSE THOUSANDS.
FAKE WRESTLING MATCHES AND
FIGHTS ENsNARE FARMERS
BANKERS AND OTHERE.

Omaha, Neb.-That 100000 was
extracted from the pockets of middle
west farmers, cattle men and bankers
by the Council Bluffs ring in "fake''
wrestling matches, prize fights and races
IN the last three years is now consid.
cred conservative estimate.
Hardly week passed for months at
a time that the Maybray gang did not
bleed one victim in Omaha or Council
Bluffs and few got away without drop
ping several thousand dollars. j. G.
Maybray, the brains of the gang, lived
in swell apartment house in Omaha
and with his wife moved in some of
the exclusive "West Farnum" society.
j. M. Maybray, under arrest in Lit
tie Rock as alleged leader of the Coun-
Gil Bluffs gang Of swindlers, was for
merly cowboy on the Wyoming plains
and he and Mayor Dahlman were fellow
COW punchers rs years ago.
The names of dozen Colorado and
Wyoming men have been dragged into
the story of the operations of the May
bray gang of swindlers, who have been
operating in the west for two years
with fake wrestling, running and horse
races, but not one will admit that he
had been "stung." Two or three have
admitted that they knew of the gang,
but insisted they had not lost any
money.
The reason advanced why SO few of
Maybray's victims will agree to talk
is that they were supposed to be in
on a sure-thing proposition, and, hav-
ing been duped, they prefer to lose
their money in silence to making an
cutlery and confess their own short
comings.
Will Be Sensational Trial.
That few sensations will develop
when the charges of alleged swindling
against J. c. Maybray and the four men
arrested with him are made public is
the expectation.
Ernest l.. Powers, 30 years old, is
in the Denver jail, charged with being
one of the Maybray band of alleged
swindlers. 1t is charged that he bun
SSSN ~ " A)o"ihah, 1OlhCI VI OuV6T-
ton, Col, out of $12,7OO on a fake foot
race at Council Bluffs, Iowa, last July.
Powers is former University of Den
yer football player.
Swindle Looks Gigantic.
When j. G. Maybray arrived in Coun-
Gil Bluffs Tuesday from Little Rock in
charge of detective he found awaiting
him a number of men from different
parts of the country, come to identify
him in connection with alleged
swindling operations carried on last
year.
Maybray and his fellow conspirators
are said to have swindled farmers,
bankers and cattlemen in the middle
west of sums totaling from $25O,oOO to
$1,ooO,000, according to various esti-
mates. Fake wrestling matches, prize
fights and horse races were the lures.
