SLICK CAME WORKED

Put Up Notes For New Bank To Be Started At Phoenix, Paper
 Quickly Hypothecated

One Of the most high-handed fin ancial skin games ever pulled off ii the State is gradually being aireC through the voluntary admissions O one of the victims, who confesses tc the loss of several thousand dollars and in the sweep made of the man ipulator, lodges in the net of duplic ity at least fifteen other dupes.
 This so-called transaction wa: nothing more nor less than batting the hook and landing at least fifteen of the gullible who reside in this city, all of whom are we'll known in live stock circles.
 When the fish" were segregated the small "fry" were found trimmed to the tune of not less than S3,500 while the bigger ones went down the line to as high as S,5O0.
 The deal was neatly pulled of by the gilt-edged buncoist, who person ally visited the various ranges, and so unctously laid bare his scheme of high finance that the gullible were trapped under the guise that none but prosperous stoclmen were to be enlisted in the establishing Of a big bank at the capital city of the State. It was to be a close corporation, with a specified line of business, to which only were to be eligible on the board of directors these self same subscribers. A guaranteed dividend of per cent was assured each and every one. No ready cash was to be forthcoming, but a prom issory note as agreed upon, was the only collateral necessary. This rrse proved decidedly attractive to the ones whose wings were later clipped to the pin feathers, and working the field to a fine finish, the solicitor left the scene, and resumed his manipula- lions in other localities. Nothing succeeds like success, and taking his cue from the ready money coming from the Yavapai field, Williams was visited with partially good results; with three well-known rangemen held up," a la the Yavapai stunt. Making a bee-line along the railroad Flagstaff was next bumped into, and few of the good ones" were lined up by this highwayman. In all the tricks resorted to to secure the dough" the expert at high finance worked one of the cleverest of rep resentations In beginning his work, he had cunningly fortified himself

ANOTHER COUPLE ENTER RANKS
 MATR|MONY
tFrom Tuesdays Daily)

Yesterday at high noon the we'd ding of Miss Anna Groves, of Mil waukee. and Charles Royder, of this city, was solemnized at the parson- age of the Catholic church, by Fath- CT Mandin. The event was a quiet one, at which only few close friends of the principals were pres ent. The bride was attended by Miss Frances Rogers, while the best man was James Shaunessy. A we'd ding breakfast at the St. Michael rel-h; ated the union and with the felicitations of their friends the oc cation proved very happy one 10 all interested,
 The bride arrived a few days ago and quite an interesting romance ot years ago is associated with the final tieing of the knot The bride at tracted very much admiration and is a young woman of many accomplish ments. The groom is a trusted em- ploye of the s. r. ?. & P. railway in this city. and his frugal habits and genial personality have won him many friends.

with personal recommendations whict
 permitted of not the slightest remon.
 strance to be waged against hi:
 credibility as man of integrity and honor. Whether these credentials
 were genuine, dawns upon his dupes as somewhat to be discredited, to say the least, by subsequent transactions. To associate with this serious i transaction a humorous aspect may not be considered as indelicate, in this, the sponsor for the man of high finance was trapped as were his CO., laborers in the range business, all because he knew the men behind the letters that were flashed, and accord ingly vouched for them as he did their representative in the rounding up of the long ears who were to furnish the sinews of war for the big banking house at Phoenix.
 The climax of the raid on the. long horns of Yavapai came when the notes were negotiated, first in this city, and later in the town along the Salinas. Nothing doing in Prescott in this line, however But in Phoe- nix, the reverse prevailed. A big discount from the face value brought revenue thick and fast from the eager hnancier who knew a good thing at the drop of the hat, and approximately fifty cents on the dol lar was forthcoming. In the aggre- gate there is said to have been re- ceived by the new banker, from S25, GOO to $35,0OO in actual cash. His name is being withheld, as are also those whose names adorn the gilt edged paper. One of the Yavapai subscribers is said to have appreci- ated the allurements of the deal by digging up an even S3,500 in cash.
 Associated with this transaction a kindred deal alleged is that of the Ranchers Trust company, which is being aired at the present time in Coconino county, and which later will reveal, it is stated by attorneys of this city, anoGer bold trick in the game of high financing. At Flagstaff five subscribers to the stock of the Ranchers Trust company, gave their notes for S5,100 cash, which sums were liquidated later when the shoe began to pinch, by a mutual settlement in which each sub scriber retired from the institution about $500 loser in the financial frolic they were lured into.

 HUGH JOKE
(From Tuesdays Da:iv.)

(FrOm tuesday lla;!E.)
 When Judge F. O. Smith ascended the Superior Court bench yesterday morning he glanced at two Justices court indictments. Then his face gradually became effused in wrinkles then smiles. He glanced at County Attorney P. w. O'Sullivan. Smiling ly he shifted his gaze until it rested keenly and yet amusingly upon As .istant County Attorney Joseph Morgan. FlHsh::;tilg in almost guilty fashion, the assistant county attorney -srryqttered; -ry
 "That;s all right. We flied an in formation against a man named Mer- gan, too, your honor"
 Then it dawned upon the Judge. It was not a practical joke, it was h fact. Frank Smith was to plead and at 10 o'clock in the morning
 The incident caused profound mirth among the spectators. It was a singular coincidence and the spec tators and court officers laughed t7 their hearts content.
 Frank Smith and John Morgan were the two prisoners bound over by the Justices court on charges oi burglary. The Justices returns were filed in the Superior Court dur ing the few days Judge Smith was absent from the city last week and consequently he was practically un- familiar with the names or the cases brought before him yesterday morn ing.
