Council Bluffs. Feb 4-Civil and
police officers Of the Twin Cities are
amazed at the resumption Of swindles
here bearing every resemblance to the
acts OF the Mabray swindle syndicate
supposedly broken up during recent
years. Despite the mass of informa-
ton that has been published turnout
the entire country concerning the oper-
atoms of this gang, men Of wealth have
been relieved of their money here re-
Gently. The gang now at work has its
headquarters in Omaha, it is believed,
but some Of the tricks are said to have
been pulled off here.
In addition to three men who gave
the police particulars Of how they were
swindled few weeks ago, others have
since shown up with similar tales OF
broken condolences. John Sanderson,
Canadian farmer, reports to the po-
lice the loss of $1,000 thru a fake horse
race and several letters telling of
swindles have been received. 1t Is
thought to be the same gang that
mixed" Stanley Miller. Of Rising City.
Neb., out of $500, and Anton Swanson,
Of Emerson, Neb., out of $775 in Omaha
during the last two weeks.
Won $4,000 On Race.
Sanderson came here two weeks ago
to cash in $4,000 ticket he won on
fake horse race. He was pursued, he
said, by a man who had lost heavily
on the race and was going to prosecute
him. Sanderson refused to believe that
he had been swindled until he failed
to find the headquarters at the address
given him. Sanderson says he was on
the inside" of the game, and won
$4,000 three times in succession. He
was given tickets good for 100000 at
the headquarters here. The original
So 900 he had put up was taken in the
beginning and was not returned to him.
He said there were others who had lost

These men were sent TO New Orleans
for their coin which they did not get
but which enabled them to add to their
store of knowledge. It is a singular
feature Of a number of these cases
that the victims came from localities
where the Mabray gangsters secured
suckers and where it is reasonable to
suppose everybody was wise by this
time. The police are certain there are
others.

Ames. Feb. 4.-Dean Charles f..

lieve that the next few years will see
advisers in half the counties In Iowa."
