Looks for Easy Money

during the past Two years seFera
citizens Of this section have received
letters from party in Spain claimin g
that he is prisoner and that he has a
fortune which is trying to get and max
ing very liberal offers to the persons
addressed to assist his daughter in Sc
curing an education. The prisoner
claims he was in business in Russia and
in some instances claims that his mon
ey was practically confiscated bat that
he had large part hidden but cannot
get at it on account of his Imprisonment
In some manner he secured the ad-
dress of people to wnom he writes as
being an indirect relative or having
secured the address through mutual
friends, but not giving the lAtter's
names. The Editor of this paper has
been shown two of such letters. Re-
Gently MIR. Manning Anderson of Du-
mont received such letter from the
"prison of Madrid. p" The method of
the purported prisoner is to have ca
blegram sent signifying willingness to
assist and no doubt when this is done
he follows up by stating the sum of
money he needs in consideration of the
large commission he will give. Mr..
Anderson is an old soldier, one of the
highly respected citizens of Dumont and
of course there is a mystery how his
address was secured. Perhaps the
prisoner may have an accompice in this
country who finds out men who are
gullible but in this and another fanny
liar instance he tackled the wrong
men. Mr.. knderson's letter is as fol-
