BuncOed, Turns Tables
On Crooks, Loses-Wins

San Francisco, Cal. Feb. ga
James G. Splitter, of Salina, y. D.,
who was fieeced out of S2,S0O at
Richmond in 1912, got nearly one
half of his money back yesterday and
he is now looking for more bunco
men who are seeking an easy mark.
After being swindled in 1912,
Splitter went to his South Dakota
home to accumulate another bank
roll and with a determination to
come back to California to recoup his
losses.
February II. 1918. was the big day
for Splitter. He was approached by
bunco man in Oakland. who gave
him $1,000 in currency to bet on a
horse race. Instead of betting the
money Spitzer beat it" for the police
station.
When the Oakland police calmly
announced that they would keep the
$1,000 as evidence, Splitter let off a
wall of anguish that bounced off the
Berkeley hills. No arrests were made
and the police refused to turn the
the city treasury of Oakland
Splitter sued and won his case in
the lower court. Yesterday the Ap-
pellatc Court affirmed the finding of
the lower court, an opinion by As
sociate Justice Richards stating that
Splitter was in sole and peaceable
possession of the money" when the
city took it from him as evidence, and
that his title TO II is good.
Splitter is now daring the bunco
men to come at him again, for he
feels that he is still $500 shy on the
original transaction.

DON'T BE AFRAID OF DEBT

In the current Farm and Fireside
is an interesting editorial which shows
how debt is by no means the obstacle
to success that it is generally held
to be, and how sometimes, it is even
stepping stone to opportunity.
II have in mind a young man who
wanted to go to the State agricultural
college. He had no money, but knew
something about personal credit and
wasn't afraid of debt. First he found
a friend who had thousand dollars
to invest. Then he took out n thous-
ant dollars worth of life insurance,
which cost him about S22 a year,
made his friend the beneficiary, and
turned the policy over to him as COL
lateral in exchange for the $1,000
cash. Four years later this young
man graduated from college with
honors. Soon after, he paid back the
$1,000 with six per cent. compound
interest, married, had the policy
changed to make his wife tie bene F.
ticiary, as she should be, and is now
considered prosperous"

Lovers Bid For Girl;
Ask Judge to Decide

Baltimore, Feb. 22.-Torn between
love and more love and loving both
loves in equal measures, a prospec-
tive bride appealed to Justice Gerecht
in Eastern Police Court today to auc-
ton her to the highest bidder of her
two ardent lovers. The justice
finally consented to the task.
The object of the affection of the
two men is Mary Smith, nineteen
years old, 75S West Lexington street.
The rivals for her hand are Antonio
Straccia, twenty-three years old, 81
South Front street, and John Sau-
soni, twenty-six years old, 1903 East
Baltimore street. Sausoni stands a
bit higher in her regard, but then
Straccia is nearer her own age and
really wants soul mate"
Il am going to marry him tomor-
row." Patrolman Healey declared the
girl said, hugging Straccia.
i love you, John, dear" the police
say she told Sausoni, embracing him
in the police station a few minutes
later.
In the bidding before Justice &C.
recht Sausoni said he had a good
business, loved Mary most, earned
$40 a month and will make an ideal
husband. He is the proprietor of q
cigar and fruit stand. Then Straccia
presented his inducements that he
had permanent position, earns $40
month, besides getting free board
and tips. In the opinion of the court,
the bids balanced.
Until the girl can decide forS herself
which of the two men she will marry
or the men themselves decide by
other than mortal combat who shall
have her, she has been placed under
the care of Mrs. Mary Bruff, police
