The Latest Swindle

Greencastle Star-Press. Keep your weather eye peeled for this new swindle that is now being worked in Indiana. The scheme is to go to a miller for the purpose of borrowing sacks in which to bring wheat. When the miller asks them how much wheat they have they will tell him four or five hundred bushels. They always got the sacks and started away. Then one of them comes back with the statement that they had come to town without any money and needed a few dollars until they brought in the wheat, The schems always worked, and it is said they got ssl in that way in one county.
