tion May Be Made With L. & N.
Headquarters in Louisville.

LEXINGTON, KY, Dee. "a ru-
NOR is current in Lexington that the
car shops of the Lexington & Easteru
railroad at Lexington may be moved,
now that the Louisville & Nashville
has assumed control Of that prop
erty.
d The geheia Offices of the L. & il
may also be moved, it was stated. al
is believed that they will be CONSOLE
dated with the l.. & n. in Louisville,
and, while the L. & E. will likely re-
tain its present name, it is expected
that the officials of that company
may become part and parcel of the
official family of the l.. & n.
1t is said to be a certainty that the
management of the L. & n. proposes
to take care of all of the present Of
ficials of the L. & Z. 1t is quite
likely, however that the l.. & f. will
be hereafter operated under that
name. and not as the i. & n. The
changes or transfers OF the officials
of the L. & f. may be made the first
of January, so the report had it.
1t was stated at the office of Gen
eral Manager W. A. Mcdowell Of the
l.. & E. that no official notice of any
such move even being contemplated
had been made to the local offices.
Mr.. Mcdowell himself was not in his
office, but the statement given was

Earlier in the day 20 nonunion
wOrkmen, coming from Eastern cities,
were mobbed at the LaSalle street
station and badly beaten. A riot call
brought the police, and the bruised

a hotel, when the mob disappeared.
The parade was remarkable for sew
eral things. Although red flags had
been forbidden by the police, the wo-

marchers sang it on the many tongues

in which Attorney A. c. Ellis, jr.. coun-
sci for the Coalition company, was
cross-examining the witness. and de-
clared that the Coalition company was
attempting to make him q witness for
their side of the case.
Mr.. Mcmillan stated his objection to
the line of testimony as not being prop
er crOss-examinatiOn. He stated fur
Their that Ellis was attempting to show
that ground would cave in under some
conditions naturally, even when it was
timbered
W. H. Dickson, chief counsel for the
Coalition company, declared that Mr.
Ellis had no intention of making Bur-
CESS their witness. AS no ruling can

undergoes wnen broken. the expansion
being as high as 80 per cent, and sell

CLEVER GANG Of
BUNCO MEN BUSY
Tourist Robbed of Diamonds by
Smooth Operators, Who
Use Ancient Trick.

Taxed to his wits end, Chief Of De-
tectives George Sheets has been work
ing night and day in an attempt to
round up a trio of the smoOthest buncO
men that ever operated in Salt Lake.
They are said to have feeced half
dozen tourists during the past ten
days, and have performed the work
with method that places them in the
ranks of the very cleVerest opponents
of the old game of three walnut shells
and pea.
Their last victim is ]. c. Walker, a
prominent merchant of Kansas City.
Walker was invited to see the grave of
Brigham Young Thursday afternoon
by stranger, who seemed to have the
qualities of being a most congeniaI
companion. At the grave the stranger
suggested matching dollars. Walker
had nothing but bills Of large denomi-
nation. The stranger loaned him sew
eTal silver dollars and the game pro-
ceeded.
Presently two other strangers came
down the walk leading to the grave.
Walkers newest acquaintance suggest
ed that he knew a system by which it
would be possible to fleece the newc0n-
ers. Because OF the novelty Walker
consented. Luck seemed falling in the
u.
Suddenly the stakes were raised to big
money. Walker had two diamonds. one
in the form of a shirt stud valued at
$665, and another in that of a ring
worth $500.
When he became certain that there
would be an opportunity to win from
the strangers with the diamonds put
up in wager the coin Tipped on the
wrong side and the strangers collected
the diamonds. The newest acquaintance
of Walker disappeared and stimuli
taneOusly the other two strangers went
away. Failing to stop them for an ex-
PLANTATION, Walker went to police head
quarters and talked the matter over
with Chief of Police S. NJ. Barlow.
There have been previous complaints
to police headquarters of the activity
of bunco men, their previous operations
being with the old shell game.

JUDGMENT AGAINST
BROTHER |N-LAW
ellis Receivers Part of Price He
Paid to Jonathan
Lowell.
SHOWED HIM WRONG FARM
PLAINTIFF AYERS THEY SOLD
HIM ONE he HAD NOT SEEN.

Fraud charges We're repeated yester-
day in the suit of z. j. Gills against
Jonathan Lowell and Thomas Homer
over the purchase Of a farm near
Granite. and jury in Judge George G.
Armstrong; court brought in a YER
dict of $1.S2O.36 for ellis. ellis sued mis-
brother-in-law, Lowell. for conspiring
with Homer to rob" him in the pur-
chase of the farm of thirty-four and
one-half acres. Through the workings
of the two, ellis claimed, he was mis-
led and paid $500 for farm worth not
much more than $4,000. Several neigh
bors testified that the land was hardly
worth 500 an acre.
ellis was formerly foreman of LOvells
sheep ranch in Montana He sent his
wife to Salt Lake to visit her sister,
Mrs. Lowell, and followed her on June
3, 1909. Lowell met him at the depot and
took him home in an automobile. He
was treated nicely by his brother-in-
law, but one of the first persons he met
was Thomas Homer, real estate man.
Gills said that Homer and Lowell spoke
about the farm southeast OF the city,
and told ellis it would be a fine pur-
chase for him
Several meetings were held at Ho-
then a trip was taken there in an auto
mobile. ellis charged that the prop
edty shown him was not really the one
he purchased. He said that at one OF
the meetings in the office of the req!
estate man he was told that an offer
had already been made for the farm
from an outside party, who agreed to
pay $4,000 on terms of 81, 900 down. The
letter purporting to be from this party
was to the effect that if a little time
were given he would raise $500 for the
property Then Homer is alleged TO
have told ellis that. because of the
friendly relations with Lowell, he would
give him first chance at the property.
Without more Investigation, and
trusting in his brOther-in-laW. Gills
said, he agreed to purchase the farm for
$500, and paid 1000 down. He PAID
the rest on June 4. 1t was represented,
ellis says, that the property belonged
to a man in Philadelphia, and that
Homer would have to consult him be-
fore letting the farm go for $500 cash.
But ellis says he later learned that y.
B. COker owned the farm and lived on
il. He also learned that Homer paid
Coker about So, 400 for the property,
paying with Gills' money, and keeping
the balance of $500.
In the answer of Homer and Lowell
it was claimed that ellis insisted upon
the purchase of the property, and that
they figured that $500 was fair price.
The jury returned a verdict in favor
of ellis 20 the amount of Sl,S20.36,
which was for s1,700 damages and
$12O36 in interest. 1t will probably be
aDDealed
