It appears from a communication which reached The Herald at many of the last evening patriotic citizens in Eureka feel that their city has been slighted by Governor Wells in the matter of the appointment of a committee to make arrangements for the reception for the Utah volunteers. A Herald correspondent writing from Eureka states that a meeting was held there yesterday morning to discuss the matter, and that a proposition is on foot to send a committee of two to San Francisco to escort the Eureka contingent of the volunteers straight home, where a royal reception awaits them. The grievance is backed by the showing that Eureof the ka furnished fortv-thre- e volunteer soldiers, a number believed to be larger than any town in the state sent, population considered. nor Wells last evening, the executive expressed regret that any town should feel slighted. In making up the list of committeemen named in his proclamation to make arrangements for he wel- come for the Utah soldiers, the governor said he had no thought of ignoring Eureka nor any other town or locality that had distinguished itself in the number of volunteers furnished, but he based the representation on counties, rather than cities. The governor had in mind Eureka s splendid offering of volunteers, and in naming Messrs. James X. Ferguson, George C. Whitmore and Charles H.

Fake lottery claims investigated by state Lottery fever has taken a bite out of several unsuspecting Utahns wallets as a new twist in fraudulent sweepstakes has begun to appear in Utah mailboxes. This new scam attempts to lure victims into buying lottery tickets, under the guise of pooling lotto entries and increasing ones chances to win big money. Unfortunately, according to Utah Consumer Protection officials, there are a couple of problems with these offers, first; it is illegal to offer or participate in lotteries, even by mail, in Utah and second; the lotteries being offered are nonexistent. According to Francine Giani, director of the Utah Department of Commerces Division of Consumer Protection, one elderly Utah victim had over $4700 of fraudulent charges placed on his credit card account alter using the card to "enter" an alleged lottery drawing. Another complaint the Division isvestigating may total losses of more than $17,000. "This has many of the characteristics of a typical sweepstakes scam," said Giani. "However, it also has a new element of claim by Lynn Chamberlain, regional information manager Springtime is a very busy time of year for all of us.

It is trying to suck people into the scam by attaching itself to the publicity of some of these big lottery jackpots. Bottom line is this is a rip-of- f, not to mention being illegal in Utah." According to Giani, most of the complaints under investigation are for offers to join pools in the Canadian or Australian lotteries.. lotteries which apparently do not exist, and are postmarked from Vancouver, British Colum- bia. ble IT DEPENDS ON YOU!

"The complaints we have received have been from either victims who have discovered unauthorized credit card charges or family members have become concerned about the amount of money an elderly relative is spending." Giani admits, however, there may be little that Consumer Protection can do after an individual has sent money. "We are working closely with the U.S. Postal Inspectors," she says.
