An Aged Farmer Victimized.

Two strangers visited Daniel Keller’s place, near Shamokin, Pa., and, after a proposal to purchase his farm, engaged the old farmer in a game of cards. Keller became interested and procured $4,700, which he put up as stakes. The money was seized by the strangers, and Keller was covered with a revolver while they moved off. Both escaped. One of the men represented himself as the son of J. B. Packer, of Sunbury, an old friend of KeL’er’s.
