VICTIMIZED OUT OF
S45 AT SIOUX CITY

Sioux City, Nov 11.-Edward Capple
of Trip, S. D., was victimized out Of
945 by congenial and new made
friend" who borrowed" the money
and gave Couple bad check for $40
as security. After Capple had waited
for half an hour at the Pierce street
entrance Of the Iowa building for his
friend" to come out, he decided that
he had been duped and reported the
swindle to the police.
According to Capple's story, he met
the friendly stranger In the waiting
room of the passenger station. The
stranger inquired where Capple was
going, and on being told st. Louis. Mo-.
declared "Why, that is my destination,
too: let's walk up town until train
time"
When they got, in front of the Iowa
building Capple said his friend" sud-
denly remembered that he had a bill
to pay to an attorney whose office was
on the third floor. On reaching in his
pockets for his wallet he discovered
ger station, had all the money.
Perplexed for moment, the strang-
err did not know what to do, Capple
said, until he thought of check he
had in his vest pocket Capple related
that the stranger finally persuaded him
to advance $45 and gave the check as
evidence Of good faith" The stranger
disappeared. Capple waited outside I'M
til the truth finally dawned upon him.
The check was made out on a count
er blank Of the First National bank
"Hirman Morris e. Co." and bore the
signature "E. c. Hamill s. Co." The
police have a description of the "Hamill
& Co." representative.

HOG RA|SERS TO
TELL EXPERIENCE
THE COURIER WILL RUN INTER
VIEWS FROM FARMERS WHO
/ HAVE FOUGHT DISEASE.

Commencing with the Wednesday is
sue of the Daily and the Thursday Is
sue of the Tri-Weekly Courier a series
of interviews secured from farmers OF
Wapello and adjoining counties will be
published every other day for the bene-
| fit of Courier readers who are inter-
ested in the raising Of hogs and in
the prevention of cholera among the
| swine herds.
The interviews were received by re-
! resentatives of the Courier calling in
| person at the farms of many Of those
interviewed, and securing first hand
the story of what their experience with
! hog cholera has cost them, and what
they have done and are doing to stamp
out the disease among their hogs.
That the hog cholera is no small
matter to the farmer was easily made
| clear to the representative Of The
Courier upon visit to Batavia and
| vicinity recently Calls were made
| upon several farmers and shippers
from that territory. The visit has
! brought forth number of interviews
that are Of interest to every farmer in
; the country and nearly everyone else
as well. It also brought out the fact
that within a radius of ten miles about
Batavia there has been lost through
hog cholera in the death of the animals
and the forced sale of immature pigs
at least $4,000. Shippers spoken to
on this point say the estimate Of loss
is conservative.
In order to give this campaign
against the ravages Of cholera full
force and effect all over, The Courier
asks the farmer or hog raiser who can
contribute information to aid In the |
wiping out Of this dread plague, that
he call at the ONCE and give his views |
or send a short prepared statement Of
his experiences and his method of |
treatment while his herds suffered or
were exposed to the scourge that 9th.
ers may profit whose hogs have thus
far escaped cholera. This Is asked in
view of the fact that 1t Is impossible to
send a man to all Of the communities
hereabouts. -..
The purpose Of The Courier in this
matter is to give every one who Is
in stamping out hog cholera
an opportunity to tell his experience
favorable or unfavorable.
