M. ; / Gcjd Brick Swindle Again. r old worm-eaten chestnut, the Hd brick” swindle, has again bobbed The victim is a South Bend man.

His name is George Swygart, an old and stingy real estate dealer of considerable wealth. Several days ago a stylishly dressed and flip young man giving his name as Joseph Cartwright landed at South Bend . Ho immediately hunted up Swygart and represented himself as a nephew, giving the whole pedigree of the Swygart family. The old man w&s convinced and felt real proud of his smart young relative and extended to him the hospitalities of his mansion. Cartwright represented to the old man that he had for a traveling companion an Indian whom he had met by accident, and that the latter had in his possesaion a gold brick worth from $20,00Q to $24,000. The smoth-tongued “nephew” further stated that his redskin companion was embarrassed financially and would dispose of his treasure at a sacrifice. An agreement was made between Swygart and Cartwright to go in together and mo uiick, eacn paying $7,000 for tfle same. The old man went to the bank and drew out his $7,000 with which to pay for his half of the brick. His nephew said that the Indian was in the Coquiljard woods looking for Indian relies and thither the tw hastily made their way. The “wild and untutored savage” was there and the bargain -was soon made and Swygar ’s 1 $7,000 paid to the Indian. Swygart returned to the city after having made arrangements to meet his nephew at the Oliver house an hour later. But his new-found relative failed to show up and his suspicions began to be ' aroused and an officer was sought and put upon the track but of course his search was of no avail as the swindlers had made good their escape. The brick was examined by a jeweler and found to contain about 75 cents worth of gold,

Morton who died recently, owning 260 I. acres of good land, several thousand . dollars in money, yet provided himself

It was his habit to 1 wrap himself in a blanket and sleep f on a board stretched across the wood- j pile, in his log ho,use, rather than provide the house wjth a hed. If the 1 family have not too far failed in mind, । they may find his death a blessing to , them. A stranger approached John K.

T. J. WOLFE. The Old and Reliable Twenty-One Years Experience in Buying enables him to buy goods so as to sell thorn at prices small buyers will pay for same goods. We usually carry a heavy stock of CLOTHING, HATS, GAPS, Boots, Shoes, etc. But our Stock this Spring is between $3,000 AND $4,000 larger than ever before. Our Motto is, not only, “How or Where to get Good Goofls in the Latest Styles,” but also “How to get the Lowest Trices on Same,” which we have accomplished by buying ip LARGE QUANTITIES for our TWO STORES at Walkerton and North Liberty and then WHOLESALING some to small buyers who claim THEY can buy of us CHEAPER than they can buy in the cities.
