THE ANCIENT
SKIN GAME.
Tried on Alex Sewer, o
This City, But There
was Nothing Doing.
FailS to Fall For This Moss
Grown Scheme and Is
Greatly Amused.

That there is a fool born ever
minute" seems to be the basis fo'
the perpetuation Of that ancient
"Nobleman in Prison" fake. Thi
old scheme has been tried and il
some instances worked for agSs pas
and vet we find itbeing tried ever
now, despite the fact that it has
been exposed over and over aga n
to the public through the column
of the daily papers and by the Gov
ernment Secret Service agencies.
Onl, last week one Of our prom.
inent citizens, Mr.. Alex Sewer. re
ceived one of these fake appeals t'
come to Europe and aid an alleged
w althy prisoner to escape, that he
m ght come to America and recover
his fortune. The letter follows the
old line OF appeal, offering the usual
IOTtuue anu at tue Samc thhc ap-
pealing to the gallantry of the pro.
posed victim, beseeching him to
give his aid to the darling daught
er" OF the Russian Noble man"
prisoner.
Now MIR. Sewer is not averse to
taking care OF all the finance that
comes his way, but he is long on
what in the mountains is usually
called "hoss sense" and he was
greatly amused at his being selected
as an easy mark. He gave us the
letter and remarked at the SAINT
time in his usual jovial manner,
"You may publish this if you like.
and may say for me that il any OF
my friends would like to take this
matter up am willing that the,
should have a reasonable compen
sation Tor their trouble, and that !
will allow them $4,000, when the
money is collected"
The envelope also contained a
newspaper clipping supposed to b,
talen from one OF the leading dali,
p ,pers CT London, England, il
winch a full and complete accoun;
OF the arrest was chronicled. Ii this
is true clipping from newspaper,
then we wish to say, that they
need a proof reader and a new
liDeotype machine, for there were
more typographical errors in this
small clipping than there ever APP
peared IN a whole column OF the
Advocate, and that is saying a
great deal.
The letter received by Mr.. Sevnr
was as follows:--

much in his escape from the New

the week as he was taken into
custody shortly after crossing

fight extradition and some more

over the escape. 1t seems queer
that after planning the escape as

opportunity to observe how deficient
we are In our efforts to Induce the
right kind OF immigration.
South America is Offering induce
ments to Americans who are skilled in
the immigration business and coloniza-
ton. The governments of that coun-
try are Offering to the %colonists Induce
ments such as were given the men who
settled the Mississippi valley and the
west. and they are getting a better
grade of men because this country fails
to realize that by helping the colonist
we are helping the nation. Down there
