Washington, ID. c., April 90
Whether criminal prosecutions by
The federal government will follow
it's injunction suit filed in New York
yesterday to protect the public
against the speculative boosting of

of Attorney General Daugherty.
The attorney general who Is now

request upon the federal grand jury
in New York for criminal indict-
ment, under the conspiracy proVi-

SWINDlE is ALLEGED.
Slayton Merchant Caught BY Man
Accused of Forgery.

Slayton, April 20.-The Gazette
says: One of the cleverest swind-
lers to work this section in many
years came to Slayton week before
last, took orders for good for a not
ed New York firm, became we'll ac-
quainted with J. H. Stube, local
merchant and succeeded in getting
the endorsement of Mr.. Stube on a
check calling for $16S written, pre-
sumably by his company for expense
money. The dapper young man then
left, the swindle not coming to light
until last Wednesday when the forg
ed check came back to the endorser.
The Swindler introduced himself
to Mr.. Stube as Hilmer o. Eklund,
representative of Hills Brothers COM
pany of New York, dealers in dro-
medary dates and chocolate.
He carried the same kind of a
case as former representatives car
ried, according to Mr.. Stube. His
grip contained literature on the pro-
ducts sold together with books of
recipes for date and chocolate deli
catessens. He talked glibly of the
affairs of the company and of repre-
sentatives who had called before. He
received a nice order for goods from
MI. otuuS anu just USIOIo leaving
asked that Mr.. Stube, please endorse
his expense check, which he had lust
received and proceeds from which
he was in greet need as he was low
in cash.
I'M. Stube had cashed checks for
agents of the company in the past
and therefore noted that the check
was not the same color as former
checks. This matter was readily ex-
planned by the swindler, who said
that for protection the company
changed check forms each month.
AS many large concerns do this, Mr..
Stube thought nothing further of it
and endorsed the checks. The en-
dorsement of his victim made the
check good at the local banks and
the swindler cashed the same at the
Citizens State Bank leaving at once
The interval between the time of
cashing the check and the time that
1t came back, marked forgery, gave
the swindler good time to get away,
but Cashier Anderson at once mott.
fed the Bankers association which
agency at once notified all banks in
the country.
In answer to the call, Sheriff
Lowe last Friday received word from
Rochester that a man answering the
description of the swindler and who
had tried to cash a SIMILAR check at
a bank there, was in custody and
Deputy Lowe and Mr.. Stube left at
once via auto for that city. Upon
arriving there, however, they learn
ed that the man was not the one
wanted, although Mr.. Stute recog-
nfsed him as the regular and author

on him before.
