THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : MONDAY. AUGUST 30 , 1880. A SLICK SWINDLING SCHEME , A Bogus "Oommeicial Agencj1' Man Catches an Omaha Lawyer. A VICTORY FOR THE HOME TEAM. Suburban Thieves A Painful Acci dent A Knotlilnck Knll'etl Tlio Coiinril nt'1 Ionic Natlian Ilrntico Otlicr Local. A Sow Condilrncc Trick. A confidoncp "MHO tlinl buntstlio bogus chuck racket niidunwiid express scheme's nil hollow , has just boon successfully worked In Omaha niul Sioux C'ity. The swindle is nn organized onu doing busi ness tinder the title of "The United Slutus Coinim-roial Agency. " The .scheme was first exposed in Si , Louis la t Monday wliero Major Li'llingwull , a real citato ngont , win iinluced to pay $100 to irot the position of sole correspondent for the ngoncy , anil ulso as iigcnt for the Chicago Loan and Trust company who we.re. to furnish him unlimited capital without security to loan upon fiirm lauds , the company Hatl-fying themselves with : v very small commission on the tinuunls loaned. Tlio heads of the linn were represented asV. . \V. Uibson , of Chi- cngo and T. C. Perkins of New York. Some of the aeLioiis of the ngunts nrou.-ed Major Lollingwcll' auspicious , and he made in < | ulriesthalcou\iucct ( liiui that tiio organization was u myth and its n enLs arrant frauds. lie made public the fact of Ills having been swindled and was joined byjx chorus of victims In dif ferent parts of tlic country , who had also been taken in by this bogus "ngonr.v" with high Koundini : title. Prominent nmong the victims is an Omaha attor ney , L. V. Hale , Esq. , who was among the first victims and who has since liecu persistently at work in tin endeavor to ex pose the fraud. The recent publication of the work of the agi'iioy in St. L < > ms has led him to make public the particu lars of the doings of the concern in Omaha. Early in May lie was culled upon by an oily-tongiied scamp , who was stopping "t the Arcade hotel. He nave nis name as J W. Davis , and reprc- ecntcd himself as business manager of the "United States commercial agency , established hi 1870 , for the protection of trade and collection of debts , with prin cipal olliccs in New York , Philadelphia , Boston. St. Louis , Cincinnati , San Iran- Cisco , New Orleans , Milwaukee. Kansas City , Denver , Montreal , Paris and Lon don , with executive olVico in Major block , Chicago. " Davis represented that his firm was going to publish a merchants' directory of the United States , similar to Bradstreet's , and agreed to insert : v full page advestisemcnt for Mr. Hale if ho accepted the ageiicy.wliieli would cost him ! fi5 ! and would bo { rood for live years. The contract was made anil Davis paid the amount agreed upon. Davis pocketed , the result of his confidence trick and floated out of town , forgetting to pay Ids hotel bill at the Arcade. A few days after Mr. Hale received a letter which had been mailed on the train , tiie envelope bearing the " ' Commercial stamp of "Chicago's Agency , " stating that his money and contract had been received and attention given to it. This was the last heard of the "Agency" for several months and Air. Halo wrote complaining of their delay in sending him his book and papers. He was surprised to receive a letter from Davis dated ut the Windsor hotel in this city in which lie stated that the delay had been occasioned by the removal of the general olliees of the agency to New York , promising to send the books and business at oaueandre < iiie.-ting thon/rent to be patient in the meantime. This was about three weeks nir-j. About the same time ? .ir. Hale received a letter from a. .brother attorney at Sioux City who-complained that lie had been indue * " . ! ' oy Davis to take the agency for the "Chicago Loan and Trust Co" for which empty honor he had paid $25 Other complaints have been made from Denver mid points west which in dicate that Davis had a very successful western trip. In the meantime the loca tion of the general ofliees of the United Status Commercial agency lias not been ascertained by the anxious subscribers who have invested their money ! n the swindling scheme. Davis B known to a number of Omaha people. His father is a Methodist minister , located at Middlchcld , Otscgo county , Mew York. A brother of the "agency" fraud , Ed. Dayis , is a traveling agent for a Cldcago liquor house. J. W. Davis has his headquarters in Kansas City , and an uffbrt will be made tu cause bis arrcbt on the charge of obtaining tnoney under false pretenses , and also for beeating his hotel bills. GA31IO OP Xliq Union i'nolllcs Dofcnt in a Hotly ContcHtril Oanic. The game of ball between the Union Pacilics and Hastings at Athletic park yesterday afternoon was a complete Mir- prise all around , and especially so , no doubt , to tlm visitors , who received one of the worst drubbings they hayo had tliis Reason , when they wore very confid ent that they would win the game with hands down. After the game of Saturday the Hastings grew over confident and even made bets that they could shut the liomp team out without a score. One ol the players from Laird's town is known to have wagorml that ho would make a base hit each time ho was called to bat. Abqut live hundred people wore present , but after the game started they furnished enthusiasm enough for an audience of twice the fci/u. : llio "roasting" to which thq homo team was subjected after their eainn on Saturday seemed to have had the desired ull'ect ot arousing the boys to nn earnest effort to win a game of ball on their merits. When they'took their places yesterday It was seen that they were on deck for business. The homo tciitn went to bat and scored three runs on hits by Handle , McICulvo.y and Toner. Hastings then went to bat with a mental estimate of u half do/.un runs , but they foupd Salisbury at himself ami pitching an old time game. Hit hold up , too , and fqr nine innings kept whiskers on llui ball all Iho time. The Hastings worked like tigers and did some good work , ton , but had to bu mitislied with a discnur nglngly small number of hits and u consequently low score. They started ilvitn Urimhlicom and Miles as battcrv but wore alarmed at the frequency wltli wldolitho htiinc uattors found the sphere and changed in the third inning planing Bauer in thu box and Itolnvr behind tl.c bat , The change did not avail them niucl however , Bauer's line head work ami reuly ] remarkable delivery did not hayi the desired ell'ect of rattling thu home tcuni. Salisbury's game was exception ally good. Uookwoll played lirst will lus old-time eunie.slnc.ss and accuracy and mailo a number of remark able catches.

Ever since the ripening season for fruit las commenced a systematic course of hioving has been going on in Saratoga , West Omaha , Walnut Hill and other suburbs of Omaha. Plums and grapes lave been stripped by the wholesale from , rees and vines , and naturally people who mvo been for years endeavoring , at the expense of time and labor , to grow a lit- lo fruit for home pleasure do not look- very complacently on these raids. In the vicinity of Walnut Hill the herd boys walk Ijoldly into vineyards and help themselves , not caring for the province or protests of the female portion ot the household , but being very careful that : hc male members are away. Last night ; he viuevard of Peter lioa&on. on West Mercer avenue , was raided and some ten inishels of grapes stolen , and the vandals llion stripped the vines of several more bushels and threw the fruit on the ground. About a hundred pieces of china and lassware which were used at. the farewell - well party of Mr. John Sheely and fam ily Friday night were stolen from where they were temporarily deposited in the grove. The thclt occurred early Satur day morning. Saturday night six line calves were .stolen from a paddock on the Military road near the Creighton farm. Several other larcenies and burglaries have occurred in this locality especially , to say nothing of what has occurred in other suburban places , and the residents are becoming tired of it. There is some quiet talk of organi/.ing for the protcc- tection of their property. Patience , it seems , has ceased to be a virtue. Educate ; Yotir SOIIB.
