They soon got into the landlady's good graces and borrowed two of her husband's valuable scarfpins to give them a little more "tone." The most valuable left town with Weaver. They then rented desk room at 321 Montgomery street, and with a little capital which thev procured somewhere or other paid $30to a safej company on a big new safe in this month, and they planned accordingly. "The hardship in tbisswindle comes froin the fact that scores of the dupes were very poor and with faith in their hearts and the golden dream of 81,000 so made before their imaginations they made desperate efforts to get to- -' pettier the $25, borrowing on touching pleas, pawning or selling personal effects and making all sorts of sacrifices. They took their contributions to Weaver, telling how they had raised the money, and he smilingly pocketed it and assured them that they would soon be out of the reach of poverty's pinching fingures. "Something frightened the scoundrels into vanishing on New Year's eve, and there is not the slightest clew to their whereabouts. Early yesterday morning two of the local agents were at the office. While there four people dropped in to up. The agents took the money, Eay soon concluded that they had better skip too. "By 10 o'clock there were nearly a hundred people crowding into the office er abeut the entrance. By noon there were twice as many." Now it looks as though this very game is being worked in Ogden on 25th street. There, somewhat more quietly, the same gang, probably, is fleecing the publio and has been doing so for some time. The gang is located near the west end of 25th street and its plan of action is to send out a capper who works mainly at the union depot One evening he steered three travelers over to the den. There may be a lot of these cpapers at work to steer in suckers. Pretended contracts are made out, which locate timber claims or homesteads or some such land claims in Washington, Oregon, or some distant place. The dupe puts up his $25 or whatever he can be worked for and goes on his way under the impression that he is securing some advantage in the way of fortune getting. By hitting travelers enroute there is less danger of detection. But the newspaper men are on to the gang and the warden of the penitentiary at Salt Lake City yearns for each one of them. Will they take French Leave ns they did in San Francisco or will the federal authorities of Utah hold them for future reference? opinion among old sporting men was that FitzBimmons would win, but few cared to back vl their convictions.

They had some circulars printed and put brief advertisements in local papers calling for people to take up timber claims. When they got two or three agents or cappers at work in the city they were in full operation and thn money began to roll in. Part of their business purported to bo locating people on any sort of pnbl : land anywhere in the state. "They also sent operators out through the state, and from them and directly through the mail money was obtained from hundreds of people. Their country agents were notably successful in Santa Cruz. Among the papers in their abandoned desk was a telegram from T. C. Vanbenthusen, dated Merced, December "I have three," and 17th, announcing. another one the following day saying: "Got two more." There were many letters indicating that remittances of 825 or more had been sent and there was also a telegram a week old letting Weaver know that "Birdie" had arrived from Chicago. "The most extensive operations were in this city. In spite of the fact that they had been briefly spoken of as frauds in the papers, they went right along and managed to inspire people with a simple and firm faith in their schema Three or four cappers were at work, but their most valuable agents were honest people who paid their $25, had firm faith in the certainty of the promised $1000 and at once went to work to kindly get all their relatives and friends into the bonanza.

One simple Swede was going about telling people that he had already been to Washington and received his $1,000 and was going up again.
