out of $2,500 this week Hastings business
men havo been fighting shy of propositions
advanced by strangors, but this did not
embarrass nor prevent n young stranger,
who has been nbout the city during tho
last week, from going to V. H. Llnnlngs,
n money lender, for the purpose of secur
ing a $10,000 loan on a handful of diamonds.
The man with tho diamonds claimed that
ho wanted tho money to open up a gam
bling house In this city. Mr. Llnnlngs re
fused to mnko tho loan, bo the follow carted
his Jewels to two of the banks, where ho
put up tho snmo kind of talk, but failed
to get anybody Interested.
Thcro was another stranger In Hastings
today who claimed to represent a linseed
oil company in Ohio. Ills proposition was
to mnko n certain business man agent of
twolvo counties, provided ho bought a car
load of Unseed oil and give him a big per
centage on ovcry gallon sold In tho district.
This oil wns offered at a great sacrifice
from the present prlco nnd. If after having
used half a carload of tho oil tho agent
became dissatisfied, ho would not have to
pay a cent for tho oil that had been dis
posed of and ho would have his money re
funded. Tho only clnuso In the deal which
bound tho merchant was that the salesman
Insisted upon an advanced per cent of $186,
said money to bo ncnt in draft immediately
to tho firm In Ohio. Tho proposition wns
such n liberal ono that tho stranger soon
closed a deal, but at tho time the draft was
to be secured thr local merchant beenmo
suspicious, because It was too plain that
It tho proposition wero legitimate It meant
a windfall of thousands of dollars to him
during the year, so ho balked and did not
let tho money got out of his reach. Sev
eral other merchants who wero approached
also refused.
