The Brattleboro reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1907-1912, 1911-03-17
A CROOKED SOLICITOR.
Philadelphia Publishing House Looking
for Magazine Canvasser.

Chief of Police George Wilson has re-
ceived letter from the Curtis Publishing
company of Philadelphia asking him to
be on the lookout for a man giving the
name of Jack Sheldon or Il. Baker who
purports to be travelling solicitor for
the company. A few weeks ago the com
pany began to receive complaints from
Brattleboro to the effect that solicitor
had taken subscriptions and cash and the
papers had not arrived as promised. An
investigation was quietly made, and it was
tleboro March 2. He hired team Of
Mosher & Cobb and asked for a driver
who was well acquainted with the sur.
rounding towns, explaining that he wished
to be driven to the abode of all the school
teachers in this vicinity. He made days
tour of the country surrounding Brattle-
boro and upon his return to Brattleboro
that evening said that he was going direct
to Canada He left town that evening
and acted as though he was anxious to
get away as quickly as possible. Sheldon
offered an 1S-month's subscription to the
two publications of the Curtis Publishing
company for So and included in his offer
a set of Dickens, Balzac or Dumas as the
subscriber might select. As he offered a
set of standard books at a price unheard
of it was easy for him to get orders. He
insisted that his offer was made only to
those who would pay cash with their or
der. He said that he would not visit
this territory again and if one wished to
avail OF his generous proposition 1T was a
matter OF So and an order on the spot.
just how many people he swindled and
how much money he took from this ter
ritory is not known as he seems to have
devoted himself to the outlying sections
and his camnaign was only OF a DAYS du-
ration. 1t is likely that he was the same
individual who appeared in this place late
in February and offered to take subscrlp-
tions to the Ladies' Home Journal at 30
cents for II months That offer looked q
trife crooked and it is said that the solici,,
tor failed to do much business. 1t is believed
that he framed up the book premium and
offered to give about SO worth of litera-
ture for So when he found that his 35,cent
proposition did not appeal to Brattleboro
people. -
Sheldon, or E. Baker, as occasionally
introduced himself, claimed to have a wife
who was the daughter of wealthy parents
in Fitchburg, Mass The woman was
not seen in Brattleboro with him but 1t
is claimed that he found an opportunity
secure an order. Sheldon is described as
about Z feet inches tall and weighing
about $50 pounds. His eyes were blush |
gray. and his hair and complexion were
iioht, If the man should appear in Brat. |
tleboro again Chief of Police Wilson would |
like TO meet him as the Curtis Publish;i
inc company have written that they VIII
nav well for the arrest of Sheldon or Bak-
or The swindler carries printed blanks
nnrnorting to be regular forms furnished
bv the Curtis Publishing company.

Terrific Combat Before the

Danville, Pa.-Moving picture men
lost grand opportunity by not being
in the vicinity of the game preserve Of
Alexander Billmeyer, at Washington
vile, when they might have snapped
q fight for supremacy between the
monster elk Jumbo, and his younger
rival Job. The fight, which was a
thriller from the start, lasted one hour,
and resulted in the downfall of jun
DO and the exaltation of Job.
The wild animals fought ferociously
and without minutes let-up. Mr.
Billmeyer describes the fight as I'M
paralleled by anything he has ever
seen.
The bulls were dehorned about the
last of August, and it was the first
time they have been permitted to come
together since. Jumbo weighed about
1,400 pounds while his rival weighs
but 1,200. Job, however, is younger

Everyone Follows Races.

The Hi7podreme. one of the finest
race tracks in the world. is owned by
the Bue1os Aires jockey club, and
its enormous revenue Is derived from
this source. The Argentinians are
born gamblers, and they wager al
most incredible sums on horse flesh.
The municipal statistics Of Buenos
Aires show that $25,800,000 In Amer
lean gold was wagered upon the races
at the Hippodrome last year, This
is an average of so Argentine dollars
for each man, woman and child in
that great city. Naturally the report,
ed figures do not include all the mon,
ey wagered on horse racing, so that
the true sum is no doubt several mil
lions in excess Of the reported figures.
There are none so old and few SO
young that they will not wager a few
pesos on favorite. Tie tense faces
of all present show the personal in
terest in result. The jockey club re-
ceives as its share 10 per cent of all
bets, besides the entrance fees and
seat sales.-Travel Magazine.
