SWINDLERS ARE UNDER ARREST Denver, Colo., March 10. Two young men were arrested in Pueblo this afternoon. They gave their names as J. W. Winston and J. II. Kane. They are charged with swindling swin-dling Pueblo business men out of $2000 in five hours. In Denver, Salt Lake City, San Francisco and dozens of other cities, Winston and Kane, through an alleged fake magazine advertising ad-vertising game, are said to have collected col-lected thousands of dollars. The police po-lice say the men swindled Denver merchants out of $300' last Friday. Memoranda carried by the prisoners show they collected from business houses for advertisements In a railway rail-way magazine, which is declared to be purely fanciful. They got $400 in Salt Lake, their memoranda shows. Claiming to be members of the Order Or-der of International Railway Employes Em-ployes of America and solicitors for the official magazine of the order, Winston and Kane found It easy to get orders for advertising, despite the fact that they showed no copies of the magazine. J. Arthur Grady, chief of Pueblo detective's, de-tective's, caught Winston and later, by a ruse, also captured Kane. oo
