Hampton, Feb. e7.-A new graft
has been worked here with great
financial success and woman Is
minus $4,000 in cash as result OF
putting faith in strangers.
No trace has been found OF the cul-
prits who relieved Mrs. Catherine
Krukenberg, an elderly widow OF this
city, of about $4,000 in cash several
weeks ago, nearly the entire savings
OF the woman. Officers have been
closely following up several clews
and the matter has been kept quiet.
Last October a fellow. claiming to
be an expert eye doctor. called at the
home OF Mrs. Krukenberg and asked
To be allowed TO examine her eyes IL
is evident that the fellow was &C
uuainted with his ground as the lady
had Some little trouble with one OF
her eyes and had doctored little
with one or two of the local plysi-
clans. The stranger with the French
mustache made every effort TO MAKE
the woman believe that he was some
government medical expert, and ne
finally secured cool $1,000 cash from
her for a supposed operation. This
was haul enough for once. but before
leaving her home he discovered that
he did not get all Of her wealth.
Shortly afterwards he appeared on
the scene again. but this time &C
companied by another man, and they
bluffed the poor woman into be-
lieving that she was IN bad condi-
ton. her system was full of poison
and that this matter would have to
be reported TO the government. They
led her to believe that with the aid
of an electric belt they had dis
covered the cause Of her ailments,
and that this belt would be left witt
her TO use, but il was necessary for
her to put up $4,000, which was to
be returned 10 her as soon as they
came back for the belt. which was
later to be used on a Hampton man.
She was stunned at the amount ast-
ed and was not ready to put UP the
full $4,000, having only $3.50 in the
bank, but one Of the men was so
philanthropic that he offered to put
up the balance. as the full $4,000 had
to be paid over to the government
as protection for the return Of the
belt.
They hypnotzed her into believing
that they, as representatives OF the
government, had real power, and per-
suadeA her to go TO one of the local
banks draw out every cent she had
on deposit there, about 1850, and
hand II over to them. They wanted
it in cash, too-no check or certif-
cate Of deposit went with them. The
bank preventative who cashed her
certificate questioned her about the
matter, but she insisted on having
the money.
Several weeks ago she began 10
think differently Of the matter and
finally made up her mind that there
was something crooked about the
deal. so she reported the matter to
County Attorney r l. Saley and
Sheriff J. ". Schweiger who have
spent considerable time since work
ing on her case.

EIGHT MILES OF GRAVEL.
Hamilton County to improve Road

/, Webster City, Feb. 27.-Tuesday
the county board Of supervisors will
let the contract for crawling eight
miles Of road in the county, and this
will park the beginning Of the road
no provement in Hamilton cepnyy for
1920. ~
The crawling for which this con-
tract is to be awarded IL for the FL
dora road, which runs along the
south line OF Rose Grove township
and connects with the Hardin county
road to Eldora.
The county auditor asserts that an
approximate cost OF grayeling cam
not be made. but il is estimated that
$50 yards OF gravel will be needed
for each mile, making a total Of T.
04o yards for the entire eight miles.
Aside from the actual cost OF the
gravel. the cost OF hauling and
spreading must be considered. and
IL is for this reason that the amount
to be expended cannot be estimated.
