regular meeting endorsed an editorial
published by the Times Recorder ask

auditorium that would care for the

With the state encampment of theil

BUNCO MEN FLEECE
NEBRASKA FARMERS
ON WAY To FRISCO
FAKE HORSE RACE AND DOLLAR
MATCHING WORKED AT SALT
LAKE.

SALT LAKT CITY, Utah, June TO-
The operations of a gang of bunco
men in Salt Lake were made known
to the police recently when that de-
partment received information of the
manner in which the victims had lost
their money. Two wealthy Nebras-
kans are the complainants. One was
leeced of $500 on fake horse race
and the other experimental to the ex-
tent of S45 and a cneck for $1,000
with the time-honored dollar match
ing game. The victims were ]. j..
Liperka, of Sidney, Nebr., and Fred
Fosterman, of Bertram, Nebr.
Liperka came to Salt Lake on May
s, EN- route to see the exposition at
San Francisco He had planned to
remain in Salt Lake for several days
and chanced to meet man giving the
name of John Stratton, who protested
to be a professional race horse man
with large string of horses running
at Juarez, Mex.
Stratton vividly outlined the possi-
bilities of winning large stakes on
the Juarez races by betting at some
of the poolrooms, he said were in
operation in Salt Lake. The plan ap-
pealed to Liperka and finally Stratton
induced him to stay over for while,
and get some big winnings"
Together they went to Broadway
hotel where Liperka engaged a suite
of rooms, inviting Stratton to stop
with him. Afterwards they started
out to see places of interest in and
about Salt Lake. Then Stratton hap
pened to meet a friend. He introduc-
ed him to Liperka as race horse
man from Juarez.
The three men carefully went over
the plans for placing the bets, and it
was agreed that the third man should
place all the bets. Stratton gave him
$500 to bet, and Liperka gave him
5000. On the following day the third
man went to Liperka's rooms and de-
livered the winnings, which aggregat-
ed 5000. Liperka's share was $500.
A few days later it was decided TO
place another bet. This time large
one. Stratton produced dope book ,
and after careful consideration it was
decided that ther should bet on a
horse represented to be known as
Easy Money" Stratton produced
1000 and Liperka was induced TO
bet $500 of his own and the 5000 he
had won. Stratton, after carefully fig
uring the odds told Liperka that he
stood to win $4,000.
The money was given to the third
man, who returned a few hours later
and said that it had been impossible
for him to place the bets in Salt
Lake, and that he had wired the bets
to Juarez. The race was to be run
two days later.

Liperka was then informed that it
would be well for him to return to

was told that if this should happen
there was another and surer way of
winning and that was by framing the
race.
Finally Liperka decided to go and

turned with $1,000 which he intended
to bet. He sought in vain to find the
two racehorse men, and his $4,000
winnings. Inquiry at the hotel show
ed that Stratton had left a few hours
after Liperka. Then Liperka began
to search the city, but of no avail,
and realizing that he had been feecel
decided to return to his home, which
he did, being unable to go to San

the trio, after first visiting the temple
grounds, went to the capitol grounds,

quaintances proposed a game of
matching dollars to while away the

posed as wealthy merchants from the
east. Fosterman agreed 70 the prop

of the grounds, the game commenced.
