R. S. FORD & CO.
A Swandler Captured.
A man named John Bates, alias
Chapman, who has been living on the
best thehland affords at no expense
to himself, was. arrested in St. Marys
Monday by Chief. McCarthy, of Strat-
ford, assisted by High Constable
Thomas 13. McCarthy. His method of
gtzlling the public is a neva] one. He
represents himself as being a Goverri-
meat et.D.cer sent out to teach the
farmers 'how double the amount of
butter could be made by a new pro-
eese. The unwary farmers jmnped at
the bait, and as aresult plenty of their
money found its way into Bates'
pocket. The manner, in whiclt be
evaded his hotel bills when theysU
due was to write out a with drawal re-
neipt on the post office money saving
department,i
and enclose it n a letter,
with the request that the cheque be
sent to the landlord. Bates would
then take his departure, and numerous
landlords around Palmerston, Wood -
hone and St. Marys are yet looking for
their board. It was always the rule
forBates to give the landlord the letter
the receipt; enclosed for the landlord
to post. The Post Office Department
got weary of the cheques coming in
on them, and thinking that an effort
at fraud was being made, the matter
was reported to Post Office Inspector
Hopkirk, of Stratford, who set about
to investigate, with the result that
Bates was jailed. He was arraigued
before Police Magistratel'O'Loane, and
pleaded guilty to the charge. The
magistrate sent him up to the assize.
The Post Office Department has sev-
eral charges against him. Bates is an
Englishman.
