SLICK PIANO SWINDLE
GRAND JUNCTION CITIZENS VIC.
TINS OF SMOOTH scHEMER.
From Ten to Twenty Are Out $50 Eacn
az a Result Of the Fraud
Game.

wss,ern Newspaper Union News Service.
Grand Junction, Colo.-A smooth
swindle was worked successfully a
few days ago on Grand Junction peo-
pie, and from ten to twenty OF them
are out $40 each as a result OF the
game.
A few weeks ago. a man who gave
both Trevor and Hichborn as his
name. rented a well furnished house
on a fashionabl street, paying for 1t
In advance. Then he moved into 1t
a very handsome piano. practically
new. Following this he inserted IN
advertisement in the local newspapers
offering to sell a $500 piano for $50,
giving as q reason that he was COM
PEELED to leave the city because OF
sickness.
The advertisement attracted the At
tention OF dozens. and Trevor or Hitch
born had no difficulty in disposing OF
1t over and over again.
The swindler stipulated, however,
in each case, that he could not deliver
the piano until certain date. as he
wished to finish up various matters
before leaving, and the piano would
be in use until he was ready to go.
On the day agreed upon each OF the
buyers obtained was to have the cash
ready to pay for the piano on deliv-
cry. On the day in question Trevor
did land office business. A dray-
man delivered the piano to many diff
ferent homes. In each case the money
was paid on delivery. Trevor collect
ed anywhere from 81 900 to $1,000
and took the next train from town.
When the cases were opened they
were found full Of stones and other
Junk. The police have been notified
and are looking for the swindler.

We Are Behind In Aviation.

Europe Is in earnest in seeking the
Ultimate conquest OF the air. while
America looks on as the spectator Of
a contest in which she was once su-
preme The chief reason why mill
tary aeronauts fail to go ahead In
America is that the government does
not make the pursuit OF the science re-
munerative enough to attract the best
qualified experts to engage In It The
only way by which America can re
gain her lost laurels Is for the govern
ment TO pay its military birdmen lib
orally for their risks and guarantee
the support OF their families In case OF
disability or death. At present the
newest military arm OF the service Is
undermined. inadeQuately equipped
and poorly paid, notwithstanding the
fact that an American officer perfected
the most deadly bombdropping device
and thereby secured for our coast de-
