Editor of The Reformer:-
People having produce or any other
thing for sale are warned not to accept
checks in payment from any person not
known to be financially responsible.
a crooked game that is being worked
is for some good appearing person to
establish in suitable locality q prod
uee company, deposit a sum of money in
local bank TO establish q credit. buy
of farmers at good prices, pay by
check, draw out the money on deposit
before the checks for produce are pre-
sented, re.ship purchases and make an
escape before an arrest can be made
Such scheme has recently been
worked in this state and something like
ten thousand dollars worth of prop
erty paid for by worthless checks.
The exercise of business common
sence is urged to prevent such losses.
Any effort to transact business in that
way by person unknown TO the party
10 whom the advance is made should be
Immediately reported TO the authorities
that the scheme may be investigated

HOUSE DAMAGED
IN EAST PUTNEY
Fire Breaks Out In David s. Persons
House, Unoccupied-Barn Saved
Owned by H w. Frost.
Especial to The Reformer.)

p 4 Is
Fire seriously damaged the interior
of the David s. Persons house built
of brick, in East Putney last night and
destroyed the ice house which Frank
Whitman of this place had just com
pleted back of the house. The wind was
away from the barn, so that building
was saved, but it was necessary TO pro-
feet the milk room with wet blankets
to prevent the building from catching
fire. The barn stable room was filed
with stock.
The property is owned by Henry W.
Frost, whose home IS on the Farr
place, within sight of the Persons
place The Persons family moved to
Putney village early this year, and the
house was not occupied. Mr.. Frost was
there in the forenoon and thawed out
some pipes with q torch and built fire
in the stove as has been done before
by workmen while getting their din
ners. Mr. Frost wet down the floor as
precaution, and he thinks the fire
caught from defective chimney
Shortly after 6 clock last night
Mrs. Frost looked toward the house
and everything seemed all right then
but within half an hour telephone
message was received that the house
was on fire. Men went from this vii
lage with extihguishers, and they with
others kept the flames confined inside
the house for the most part. One OF
the large naples in the yard took fire
but it was not damaged enough to kill
it.
/ Mr.. Frost expects to make repairs or
the property as soon as convenient.
