that the great beef types must give

won their place and the Gazette Is
strong for everyone Of them; but we
insist also upon a COW that will fit
right into the areas not now oocu

While able, constructive breeders
are at work upon the problem Of
how best to increase the number Of

They had the Wres Creased" so that the
news could not fail to go through all right

Yet this business, which has enriched 50
many swindlers overnight. has grown
from beginnings which were not connect
ed with horse racing at all, and which did
not bring in fractional part Of the re-
turns now made by successful wire tap
pers.
In the late '7Os many country banks
were swindled by what was then novel
use Of the telegraph In fact, il was
about the first swindling game in which
the telegraph was employed. The swim
dlers would choose town, usually a
county seat, on little branch railroad.
Qne lone wire usually represented the
tclcgraphic connection Of such town with
the outside world. There was usually one
bank in the Town. This bank was run by
conservative men, who dealt mostly with
farmers and stockmen and whose invest
ments were safe as rain
The swindlers usually spent several
days in the town. They were expecting to
close a deal for some land or some cattle,
according to the story they gave out. They
looked prosperous and made friends, as
they we're genial and knew how TO tell
stories well and had good stock Of tales
that we're new TO thiAlttle town.
Officials Of the bank were called upon by
tho swindlers, who had draft which
they wanted to have eashed The draft
was from bank in the nearest big town
say, Kansas City.
Apparently this is ali right" the swim

MRM XAD.

In a little while the small town bank
would receive telegram in code and APP
parently from the Kansas City bank, say
ing that the men who had presented the
draft were all right. The swinders would
get their money and depart, and II would
not be until the draft was sent to Kansas
City for collection that the fraud would
be discovered
What happened was about as follows:
The men were wire tappers They had
fixed matters SO that the telegram from
the small town bank was taken on the
wire. Then in due time they would send
the small town bank a fake telegram.
guaranteeing their financial responsible
ity' This fake telegram they presented
to the small town bank. AS soon as they
had collected the money from their worth
less draft they disappeared.
This game vas worked successfully in
many Middle Western towns. That was
in the era before professional sport of any
kind had taken hold Of the public imagi-
nation. Then horse racing came into
prominence. Meets were held, and soon
the racing game developed into what it
hes been ever since-the greatest of bet
ting mediums.
The swindlers who had pioneered in the
wire-tapping held soon recognized that
swindling bettors presented less risks than
swindlng banks. The bankers were get
ting pretty well organized against the
wire tappers, and the telegraph companies
