There was quite sensation and
tears trickled down many faces last
Sunday night, at church when a
stranger testified that he had
been swindled out of his money, con
sisting of several thousand dollars
in wild eat" land deal. We are
informed that he will send some OF
our citizens to the penitentiary for
a fraudulent use of the mails IL ne
does not get his money refunded.
This incident and few other
similar ones of recent drte have
caused many of our landowners TO
regard such swindling as very cost
ly TO the land owpess of this county
as il casts shadow on all OF our
land titles. II is said that no 9th
er county in the tsate has so much
land swindling as Magoffin. The
public deserves to know of this un-
fortunate condition of affairs that
is so detrimental to the welfare OF
all honest people. 1t is ticklish
proposition because some of your
best friends and some of our best
friends are engaged in it.-Salyers-
