STRANGER GETS HIS MONEY.
Brought Back From Abilene and Set

A shrewd faker last week separated
several people In Salina from their
hard dollars, 1t is said. A man who
gave the name Of Hutchins told how
easily he could make wonderful lot
Of money on specializing in wheat. He
was smooth enough to make certain
parties believe he could do what he
said and let him have some OF their
ducats. One Of tness itis reported,
gave him $3.50 with which to specu-.
late.
After getting the money the CRATER
left for Abilene. Just to meet a friend.
The man who let him have the mon
ey got7uneasy about his money after
the fellow went to Abilene and order
ed the officers to arrest him there. He
was brought back to Sallna last even
ing where 1t is supposed he settled
the matter up with the man who had
let him have the money, as nothing
has been heard concerning the case
today.
1t is rumored that two or three 9TH
err men were worked in the same
way.
HE was a smooth faker," said q
man today who had talked with the
faker on the train after being arrest
cd. "but I can't see how people can
lose their senses and give away their
money to q perfect stranger, like this
fellow."-saIina Union.
