Fanners Around Norfolk Have Been Victims. CLEVER GANG OF IMPOSTERS. S. A. Shlclclo , Claiming to Represent the "New York Hospital Co. , " of St. Joseph , Had Grafted Many Promissory Notes When Exposed. A smooth medlclno fakn operating n Ihnlclnlty of Norfolk during the mtU few wenks , and by means of vlilcli a largo number of farmers had ilready boon "taken In" for amounts anglug between $10 and $100 ! apiece , vas nipped Just In time yesterday uornlng to save a successful comple- Ion of the grnlV The game was un- arthed at the Citizens National bank , uid the fakir. S. A. Shields , together vlth two assistants , left the civy on he noon train. Just before his do- mrturo , Shields surrendered a note ; lven him by one of the prominent armors north of Norfolk for $19f > . Shields and his gang claimed to represent Vhe "Now York Hospital company , " of St. Joseph , Mo. , a lie- Itlous ilrm. They took orders for a series of home treatments , promised o ship the medicine and received lotes In payment. They were clever alkers , swell dressers and persuasive to a degree. The game worked nd- nlrably well and not a few of , the evol headed farmers approached , fell n''o the trap and signed their names .o promissory notes for heavy unounts. It was through the extra- military large amount secured from > uo well-to-do bank patron , that the Citizens National people accidentally llscovorod Vbo game. Shields had gone into the country md persuaded a farmer of means lint ho would doubtless die If ho failed to take medicine put up by the Now York Hospital company. The farmer gave a note for $195 and ac companied Shields to the bank to give insurance that everything was straight. The bankers called the 'armor Into the rear room and asked ilm If he was perfectly sure ho knew what ho was about. When they re turned , Shields was rather angry nt lie Interruption of his affairs. "We've decided , " said Assistant Cashier Pasowalk , "that we'd like to telegraph St. Joseph and llnd out tha't your Ilrm Is all right. " Shields was apparently satisfied with this , and agreed to pay the bill. Then ho .eft . the bank and took a noon train for Battle Creek. Meanwhile 'chc bank had wired an Inquiry to the hospital and Incident ally to the Tootle-Lemon bank , asking as to the firm. Within forty minutes a reply came from the bank seating that there was no such hospital com pany. Late in the afternoon a mes sage came from "Tho New York Hos pital company , " stating that S. A. Shields was 'choir authorized repre sentative. Something was evidently wrong. The next morning Shields returned. "Did you hear from the message ? " lie asked. "Yes , " replied the banker , "we did. " And a smile of satisfaction appeared upon the Impostor's face , as he drew his noves out to bo cashed. "Wo heard from St. Joseph , and we'll bo unable to do business with you , " the banker continued. Shields demanded an explanation , with a brazen bluff , and the two telegrams were produced. Gives up the Game. With proof positive that his game was up , the medicine man gave In completely. "I'm all In , " ho admitted , "you're too many for me. " Ho ad mitted that ho had gone to Battle Creek and wired to a friend , Instruct ing him to answer In the name of the ( Inn. "I've learned something , " he said , "and the nexv fellow won't catch me that way. "Well , " he went on. "It's just a game that we're all playIng - Ing at. and this time you've beat me at It/ Diamond His Salvation. Then the bank demanded the note to pevent its sale elsewhere , and Shields reluctantly gave It up. With all of his prospects gone the grafter was In a tight place , for ho needed money to get out of town. Ho claimed that he had a deposit In St. Joseph and a message upheld his statement but there was no one to Identify him and he was playing in hard lines again. A huge diamond ring whicl ho wore , was Shields' final salvation It was a mammoth stone , ueautlfullj cut , and proved to bo a perfect one Glancing at this , Mr. Pasowalk offeree to take It as a forfeit on a check An Intsant later the ring had changet hands and Shields was enabled to llq uldato at his hotel. The stone Is valued at $110 and lb to be returned to Shields when he returns the $75 vhat went on the check.

Howells has been In the pos session of .T. E. Simpson of this city for many years. He has not seen It published since and deems it worthy of reproduction. It was somewhat mutilated In the long keeplnc. and perhaps the lines and rhymees are not absolutely accurate , bu't the sen timent is there : I was not nskod If Ishouldliko to come. I nave not seen my host hero since I came , Or luul a. word of welcome 'In his name. Some sny that wo shall never sec him. and oine That we Hhull see him elsewhere , and then know Why we were bid. How long I am to stay I have not the least notion. None , they say. Was ever told when ho should come or RO ; But every now and then there bursts forth on The soiiff nnd mirth. n. lamentation. A sound of shrieks and sobs , that make our joys Dumb in our breasts ; and then , ome one Is Kone. They suy we'll meet him. None knows whore or when , We know we shall not moot him here again. W. D.
