Selling Bogun Convention Tickets.

People outside of Minneapolis are beginning to realize that the pressure for seats in the convention hall will be great and all sorts of schemes to gain admission will be sprung upon the doorkeepers. An enterprising Chicago swindler, the local executive committee has learned, has printed thousands of fraudulent tickets in that city which he is disposing of at such prices as he can obtain to the unwary. A Minneapolitan recently came across one of these tickets in the windy city and informed the local committee of the fraud. The impostor has obtained a fair idea of the interior of the hall and the numbers of the seats, and has thus been able to perpetrate his fraud with considerable skill.
