intense as to cause the glass to crack,

What's the Tinto.
"What's the time" was one, of the
common expressions used on thestreet
on Monday, the reason for its use was
that a couple of fakers struck town on
Saturday evening and gulled a - num-
ber of our people. In the, evening the
jokerssecureda, four horse team and
paraded all over town, one dressed as a
cowboy and announced himself. "Mexi-
can Charlie' and the other dressed as
a negro and answered to the name of
"Tom After blowing horns, &c., they
pulled up on the south side of the Com-
mercial Hotel, where they, opened the.
performance with a few songs and jok-
es. "Mexican Charlie" then harangu-
ed the people on the qualities ` of his
medicine' and told them that . he was
not here for the purpose of selling the
medicine, but merely to advertise it.
He sold about twenty-five bottles of his
corn cure at 25cts per bottle. Ile then
told the buyers to hold up their bottles
and step to the wagon. He then hand-
ed back to each. the 25 cts, he had re-
ceived from them together with ten
cents, telling them to go and purchase
cigars with the extra ten cents and
smoke his good health. He next intro-
duced his catarrh remedy, which lie
sold at 50 cts,and as in the former case,
handed back. their 50 cts. and 25cts. for
the usual drinks and cigars The next
introduced was his Indian Blood Puri-
fier, package No. 1, which he disposed
of at $1 per box: He returned! the $
to :a few and then introduced package
No. 2, his Indian Tonic. He disposed
of some thirty-four hoses of this and
gave an enveloPe to each. ;He closed
the sale for a time and et once instruct-,
ed the purchasers -to write olein name
ou the envelope and hand them back.
to him and he would place ; the prizes
therein and distributed. them : to the
victims, which consisted ofa supposed
watch which contained a piece ofglass
and a paper dial, while others contain-
ed nothing and were nothing but mere
snuff boxes. The total 'value of the
supposed gold .watches, medicine &c,
which is valued by the fakers were
worth 8 cts., so each one who - invested
received 8 cts: for' every= dollar invest-
ed. The watches were nothing but the
worst of pressed brass 'and are not
worth more than 3 cts or $30 per thous
and. These are the swindlers own
words. He warned thein not to leave
the carriage as he was going, to still
give them another present. 'He again
started the sale of the medicine and
something like sixty. boxes .more were,
disposed of. Then came the grand
present. He took from his trunk a
small envelope and at once commenced
to distribute amongst the swindled vic-
tims some brass pens. The show end-
ed and those who nibbled at the bait
like little fishes, left more sad and wis-
er men. The front seats were ab tak-
en up, the peanut gallery. was f,µ11, and
the parquet fairly crowded by the hun-
gry speculators: It is a pity there is
not a law to ;prevent such swindlers
from plying their nefarious tricks up-
on an unsuspecting public, but who
can be blamed the,rnost, the swindler
or those who thought to make money.
out of the deal. , To those who were
bitten and all others we would advise,
f
never try to beat a roan at his own
game; it may look plausible and a
winning scheme at first, blit the win-
ning side of the scheme goes to the
parties who conduct it. From what we.
could Learn the fakers took about $150
from those hungry speculative indiv-
iduals, and were nippedto the
tune of three and 'four dollars., The
pair that conducted the fake business
are well up inthe business and in
every town they visit, they reap the
dollars and the investors reap` the ex-
perience. Our town" council should
raise the fee to medical vendors of this
kind to the sum of $100 or $200, and
this would be the means of checking
this kind of swindling business. We
hope this will be a lesson to all who
were duped and to all others to let such
victims go their way without riving
them a chance to swindle the people
out of their many hard earned dollars.
