and who desires his name withheld,
is very much wrought up over los
ing $4,000 in cash while in Miami
last week, it being his opinion that
he was victim of three confidence
men.
The gentleman in question was
approached by a man who showed
him $4,000 orange grove, offer
ing it for $4,000 cash The money
was paid over, and a few days later
the new owner was approached by
another party who offered him So
600 cash for the grove. The money
was paid over, but not until after
banking hours. The Lakeland man
took the money to his hotel and
placed it in his grip in the closet,
which he locked. When he went
down TO supper some one entered the
room and stole the money. The
Lakeland man had the parties he
bought from and sold to arrested.
but both proved they were at their
homes at the time the theft was
committed He believes that Meth
er of the men owned the grove and
that thy pulled off one of the biggest
con games that has been recorded
in some time in the State.
1t behooves all newcomers not to
buy property unless eood abstract
and deed can be furnished This is
not necessary in Pennsylvania and
therefore the Lakeland visitor did
not realize that he had been victim
