Wild West Grafters Fleece Old Man Never since the Sells & Downs cir cus was in Red Cloud some six years ago has there been with any amuse ment company such an army of graft ers as was in town Tuesday with the Kit Carson Dulfaio Hunch Wild West Shows. Had they succeeded in pull ing off all the stunts which they had framed up, they would have been several hundred dollars to the good. llesides "touching up" individuals for small amounts, they had one deal working which would have cost one of Webster county's oldest and most re spected citizens the neat sum of 1300. It seems that esrly in the day one of the attaches of the show spotted "uncle" uenry Wilmot, and, repre senting that be had a car load of tea which he wished to dispose of, so worked upon Mr. Wilmot's gullibility that he succeeded in induoing him to draw 1300 from the bank as a guaranty of good faith, he to be a special agent in disposing of the tea. Mr. Wilmot was enticed itito a cur tained off compartment in the rear of the sideshow (there were six or seven of these spider webs waiting for the innocent' tlies). where his whilom friend had one of his confederates "planted" at a table surrounded by three chairs Mr. Wilmot produced tils three hundred plunks and pro ceeded to count it. Then the confed erate wauteil to count the money, and It was turned over to linn. He no sooner got his lingers on the "long green" than he disappeared under the canvas. Mr. Wilmot's tea merchant begged the old man to say nothing about the matter, promising to meet him at the Hod Cloud postotlleo next Tuesday and return the ttfOO which he was minus. Meanwhile there were things doing on the outside. Walter Sheldon had bocotnc suspicious of what he had seen, and notified Sheriff Hedge, who im mediately got busy. The sheriff de manded admittance to the curtained off compartment where the robbery had been committed, but was refused on the ground that it was a "ladies' dressing room." That bluff didn't work however, and he went into the compartment, only to find that the birds had ilown. Sheriff Hedge thou "nailed" one of the managers of the show, and threatened to tie up tho ag gregation unless restitution was made Up to this time Mr. Wilmot had stren uously denied having lost anything, but tho amount of his withdrawal from the bank was easily learned. In a very short, time tho Wild Westernois trot busy, and, while tho sherlir was talking to one of the managers, Mr. Wilmot was taken into tho tent and his money returned to him. Had it not been for the decisive action taken by Sheriff Hedge, it is doubtful if the money would havoever been recovered. Aa Mr. Wilmot was unable to give a description of tho robbers, no arrosts were made. To the Voters of Webster, County. I am tho father of W.
