THOUGHT TO BE A
VICTIM OF CON MAN

~Chinook-The sherif's office was
| requested last week to assist in a
| search for Fred Harding, a resident
of the Chinook section for many
years, who was believed to have
been a victim of confidence men
whom he met on a recent trip to
Long Beach, California.
Harding, who has worked as a
sheep herder around here for about
twenty years, left a few weeks ago
for a pleasure trip to California. AT
Long Beach he met a man who rep
resented himself to be a retired Min
neapolis business man, and who
promised to share with Harding the
profit from a deal which would yield
S40,0 900 in profit, if he would invest
about $4,000. Harding returned to
Nhinook about ten days ago, drew
his savings of $4,000 from local
banks, and departed the same day
for Long Beach, to invest in the
mythical deal. Friends endeavored
to dissuade him from investing his
money with the stranger, but appar-
emily with no success. When he was
not heard from for several days the
sheriffs office here asked the chief of
police at Long Beach to be on the
lookout for Harding, but so far they
have been unable to find him and it
IS feared by his friends here that he
may have met with foul play on the
way to California.-Opinion
