FARMERS SAID TO
HAVE LOST $4,000
Officers Report the Discovery Of ci.
gantic swindle Among the Farm
ers Of Craig County.

What appears to be one OF the most
gigantic swindles ever perpetrated up
on community has just been brought
to light in Craig county. All Of the al.
legged swindlers, except one, Avery
johnson, escaped before the details
of the scheme became known to the
authorities. Johnson is now in the
county Jail here pending an investiga-
tion orthe affair.
According to the authorities there
were six members of the gang Of swim
dlers and they had very unique plan,
that Of selling an lod patent right
scheme. The farmers were the victims
in this case, for the agents sold kind
of farmers record. The book was sup
posed to be protected and the rights
in certain territory was sold to various
persons over the county for amounts
ranging from $500 to more than $4,000.
The total amount of money obtained
by this scheme is known to have been
more than $4,000 in Craig county
and the officers believe as much as
100000 was obtained by the alleged
swindle.
After the workers had obtained all
the money they thought they could all
of them except Johnson departed for
greener fields. Johnson, 1t is said, re-
mained behind to close up few bust
ness deals and fell into the clutches oi
the law. Before being taken, however
he gave the officers a merry chase to
the Kansas line. which he succeeded
in reaching, but did not escape, but
was brought back to the county jail
here to await the investigation. He
refuses to make a statement to the
officers.

Guthrie okla, Aug. 29--An opinion
which will affect many counties of
the state enabling county officers to
draw increased salaries where the fed.

In population TO throw the county into
al advanced class with reference to
the ice and salary bill, which buses sal
aries upon population was rendered
today BY Attorney.General Charles j.
West, to County Judge N. j. Gubser
Of Tulsa county Judge Gubser stated
in letter to the attorney-general that
the population OF Tulsa county on Apri.

sus recently announced, is 1895, and
he inquired If he should not. be able
to collect the increased salary which
is provided for in the fee and salary
bill for counties of that population.
The encouragement holds that the
constitutional inhibition against in
ereasing salaries does not apply to in.

by an increased population and that
the county Judge Of Tulsa county can
collect the salary provided for his Of

OSAGE WESTERN
PRESIDENT GONE
Bankruptcy Proceedings Have Been
Filed Against Hay ticss, Who Has
Been Missing Since Last Monday.

Fairfax, Okla, Aug 29.-Ray Hoss,
president of the Usage & Western rail-
way, a cattle buyer, financier and in
vestor of Usage county, disappeared
from his home here last Monday, and all
efforts to locate him have proved fu-
tile. Bankruptcy proceedings have
been filed against him at Pawhuska.
How much Hoss is supposed to be
behind, financially, probably will not
be known for some days. Wild esti-
mates afloat now are to the effect that
he is anywhere from ~$65,000 to sf01,,-
900 short.
It is known that Hoss has been some
what of a plunger. With some others
he has been buying up the Usage lands,
and also has been close student of
the cattle market, letting his money
back his Judgment.
Formerly he was cashier of the First
National bank of this place, but re-
signed from that position about eigh-
teen months ago. According to state
ment of L. A. Witmeyer, president of
that institution, Hoss has absolutely
no interest in the bank now. Mr.. Wit
meyer is one of the creditors. accord
ling to the bankruptcy proceedings.
These were filed by Charles A. Hag-
gart, who also signs as creditor. Mar
| tin Cree, dealer in Usage lands, also
| is one of the creditors who instituted
the proceedings.
Hoss was last seen in Pawhuska
Monday, August %. He left that city
it is believed, for Kansas City, but
since then no one has heard from him
When Mrs. Hoss was asked tonight
about her husband, her answer to all
questions was Il don't know" Finally
she said simply, 81 don't know any
thing about my husband"
Hoss has son living here with
Mrs. Hoss. The boy is only about seven
years of age.
