Show LAMBERT COMPANY OUT ABOUT 52,500 Complaint Issued Against Geo. H. Lowe and C. J. Reynolds, Solicitors. Salt Lake, March 30. Tho Lambert Paper company of 141-143 West Kirst South street would llko very much to know the addresses of George H. Lowe pnd C. J. Reynolds. Theeo '"gentlemen." '"gentle-men." along about February 2, decamped de-camped with something like $2,000 In unearned commi6Elons, paid to them by the paper company on bogus or "phouy" orders for goods, hence the paper company's desire to know their present addresses. The authorities ot several states are obligingly trying their best to locate Reynolds and Lowo for tho paper company. Ixwe and Reynolds worked a "gag" that was not unfamiliar to their victim, vic-tim, it is told. Along about the middle mid-dle of February' they became furiously active In turning In orders for supplies, sup-plies, literally rioodlng the paper company com-pany with purported calls for goods to such an extent as to arouse the fear that the company would have to send some of the work elsewhere to supply the supposed demand on time. There was a particularly heavy demand de-mand for calendars. But the fear was groundless. Lowe's and Reynold's aclity suddenly ceased, and with It the purported orders or-ders Lowe and Roynolds also lert town about this time. Three or four days afterward the thunderbolt fell. It came In the form of a communication communi-cation from R. A- Copplc of Marsh-field, Marsh-field, Ore., repudiating a purported order or-der that he had given Lowe and Reynolds Rey-nolds for $48 worth of hanger chum calendars . for the company. Uther similar communications from scores ot firms quickly followed. Tho plan of the paper company with its solicitors Is to pay one-halt the commission down with the securing of tho order, and Lowe and Reynolds, it Is alleged, simply made up a batch of fictitious ordors, purporting to call for several thousand dollars worth ot koods, collected the one-half ca-sh commission com-mission due them with tho securing of tho orders and, like tho Arab of fiction, quietly "folded their tents and stolo away." |
