Farmers Swindled.

Holland, Mich., Oct 3.—Several well-to-do farmers from surrounding townships have been in the city seeking legal advice to escape payment of notes given to “fake” doctors. Several weeks ago men claiming to be doctors from the Indianapolis medical and surgical institute went through there guaranteeing to cure diseases for sums ranging from SSO td $l5O. A score or more signed notes, which turned up in the banks, but the doctors have disappeared. The strangers must have raised $2,000 or more in *bput a week.
