II was a unique scheme Of
getting money by ruse that was
practiced at the He'll grocery
store. Main street, late last
Thursday afternoon. A man APP
parently about thirty years old.
dressed in a gray suit and limp
ing slightly, walked into the
store said he wished to buy
some groceries TO be delivered
AT the home OF his mother. He
bought half q bushel OF pota-
toes and two cans OF peaches.
Il will can up my mother"
he said. and then he went TO
the telephone and rang up the
residence OF Mrs. +. NJ. Stevens
at eos South Fourth street. He
said, lis that you mother? What
IL Il that you want? Well, I
will get the stun and bring IL
with me and will order the rest
OF II sent up"
Mrs. Stevens answered the
the telephone. but could not get
any statement from the person
at the other end of the line.
II may be that he held his
hand over the transmitter. Be
that rs II may. she soon heard
conversation going on I'm the
store. The telephone I'm the
store was hung up. Mrs. Stev-
ems thought somebody was try
ing to talk with her and she
called up the central and asked
TO be connected with the party
that had just called up her tele-
phone. She thus again secured
connection with the He'll store
and the smooth stranger again
had the telephone and asked
who il was. Mrs. Stevens gave
her name and telephone num-
Der, no one but the stranger
in the store being able to hear
her. He answered that he had
the wrong number and hung up
the telephone.
by this means the suave
young man managed 10 keep
the clerks IN the store enter
tanned, while he flashed on
them n check for s12.75 on a
local bank, the Mankato State
bank, in favor Of Edward c.
Stevens and signed with the
name Of Charles w. Swanson.
The check was properly indors-
ed. They did not seem 10 sus-
pect anything wrong, but made
up his order, which they sent
on TO Mrs. Stevens and gave
him his change, which was some
thing like s11.3i. The schem-
Ing fellow pocketed the change
and walked out OF the store.
Not long afterwards, the de.
livery boy arrived at the Stew
ems residence with the grocer
/, les. Mrs. Stevens knew she had
not ordered the, goods and sent
them back. Then she called
up the store and a conversation
followed. which showed that a
trick had been played. r

Cashlna Of a Check.
J. L. King OF Des Molnes, the
manager under whom Mr.. Eshbaugh
worked, and who recommended his
discharge, admitted on the stand
that Mr.. Esbaugh was first class
travelling salesman, and had done

said, however, that Mr.. Esbaugh.
without authority, had cashed a

to him by one of the company's GUS

The check was shown, with the
endorsement OF the company's name
and that OF Mr.. Eshbaugh under Il.
Mr.. King said this was against the

the check TO get the money to do
as he was directed. He had not
been able to get his usual expense

Mr.. King said Mr.. Eshbaugh had
the right to- raise the money by sight

paid for a trip made by Mrs. Esh.
baugh back to Des Moines. The Jury
