What Is Going On Tonight. Purinton Temple. No. ?, Pythian Sis- ters, meet at sos Main street. A
 Noe DeIude of No. 98 Maiu street, is weneering whether he and his wife have been f1in1fammed out Of s4g or not. Wednesday evening, Mrs. Deiude passed $49 over to stranger for what
 was said to be warranty deed for 8
 tract of land of the Forest View Realty Company, at Agawan, Mass
 The scheme worked by ths real es- ! tate men in thiG city was simple They | vert around aIn0rg the hon5cs at the ! lower end of the city and oge~ the r.v CT stating to housewives that their coE,Fany had land I or sale and was also
 giving opportunities for a drawing. La
 ter Wednesday. they returned and told | several women that they had been lucky and had drawn building lot. Warranty deeds were presented and the women were asked to dep ,sit 8 nominal stun
 to cover expenses of the lagont e the | lot. The company would also sell tfe property if the people desired. This payment idea looked strange to many, most of whom did not care about ewn- | ing property out of this state, but Mrs. Delude paid her man the sum of s49 and received receipt which upon more Icareful examination showed no sigma lures. The warranty deed had several Mines drawn through it and bore some printing.
 The police were notified of the
 swindle and Delude gave the names of
 the swindlers, which. according to the
 names on the warranty deed, were A. U. Meliwitch and Joseph A. Calhassey. A search of hotel registers disclosed that both men had registered at the Hotel Hooker Tuesday but had not returned Wednesday. Mr Delude waited until the wee hours Thursday morning but nei- ther man put in an appearance. Thursday morning De'ude took the
 warranty deed to local lawyers after
 deciding that 1t was best not to send
 money to the HamDden county registry } office of deeds, to cover the costs of
 making the deed.
 The lawyers advised him that the case needed investigation and Delude $ had better first find out what he really ] had bought According to the envelope Calhassey gave Delude. the formers address is General Agent Room No. I 101. Springfield Melivitchs narre on f the deed appears as trustee for the For : est View Realty Development Company - whose office is at rooms No. 42-43, No
