SWINDLERS USE
CHURCH AS BAIT
Trio of Swindlers Pretend
to Collect Funds for a
Kenosha Church.
REWARD IS OFFERED
Park Ave. nj. E. Church Offers
Reward for Arrest and
Conviction of Swindlers.

Using the church as false pre-
tense for securing money, trio OF
swindlers have been operating on the
Geneva road recently, according to COM
plants filed with Sheriff Fred Pabst
this morning by Rev. E. Burns Martin,
pastor of the Park Avenue M. E. church
who asked that steps be taken i'm
mediately for the apprehension of the
three swindlers.
The three men went from house to
house along the Geneva road soliciting
funds which they said were for the
building fund of the new church which
is to be built by the Park Avenue M.
z. church of Kenosha. The Reverend
Mr.. Martin this morning declaged that
no soliciting for the church was being
carried on by TIE congregation at this
time and that the three men were
imposters and were collecting money
fer their own use, taking the church
as a false pretense.
The church has offered reward
for information leading to the arrest
and conviction Of the trio. Sheriff
Pabst and his deputies were securing
the county last night and this morning
in an effort to apprehend the swindlers.
It is known that the three were
riding in a large touring car. They
stopped one day at Bloxdorf's Tavern
but did not attempt TO make any solicit
eation there Starting from the tavern
they went west on the Geneva road,
stopping at each farm house along the
way and taking whatever was offered
them.
Reports have come in from FIVE
farm houses that they visited. They
secured but little money from all of
these as their actions were such as to
cause suspicion and make the people
believe that their claims were not
genuine.
Some of the farms visited we're
those of Alvin Marsh, Thomas Nc
Kenna, Mrs. Ted Mullenbeck, Grover
Messy and Mrs. Mary Marsh.
Money or Produce
Mrs. Mary Marsh told the trio, after
they had made their plea for money
"for the church." that she had no
money Of any consequential amount
in the house. She offered to give them
produce and they accepted the offer,
goingN into the garden and taking
pumpkins and other vegetables which
they placed in their automobile.
Little trace Of them could be found
this morning and it is believed that
they became discouraged with the
venture and hurried west out of this
county.

Il Puzzle
a Day

a man had seventeen trees, which
he wished to plant in such a way
that there would be no less than
twenty-eight rows, with three trees
in each row. OF course, one tree
could appear in two or three differ
ent rows.
Can you discover how he set the
trees?
Yesterdays answer:
If one man brings a pint of water
at the end of every three minutes;
a second man a quart at the end of
every five, and a third man a gal
lon at the end of every seven, the
fifty-three-gallon tank will be filled
in 230 minutes. The second man
brings the last load, arriving just
one minute before the third man
arrives with a gallon-but too late.
