FRUIT MERCHANT IS SWINDLED OUT
 OF OVER S1,OOO
Cleverer Countrymen Come Along With Very Ancient
 Envelope Game.

Peter CraNates. the fruit dealer whose stand at Main street and Union Square was -~cently the subject of special discussion in the board of building Commissioners today IS mourning the loss of $1,OSS, which was taken from him by Q couple of his countrynle
 Though the loss of so much money is in itself sufficient to make one mourn, the manner In which it is a1- legel dto have been taken by one John Lucas, is still a matter of more poigant grief, for 1t was a repetition of the old envelope game'-now you see the money; now you have quan- tfty. of newspaper clippings cut to the size of crisp greenbacks.
 In fact though the exchange of forty thousand dollars to be kept safe for Cravates' countrynan, took place nearly two weeks ago for $1y- 08S in United States currency, the trick was not discovered until recently when the envelope was opened by Cravates.
 Detectives Hall and Fox have been working assiduously in the case with the result that John Lucas believed to be one of the swindlers is held by the New York police subject to iden- tlfication. Detective Fox and Ora yates have made the trip there for that purpose today. A companion of Lucas is still at large.
