SPANISH SWINDLERS. . ..
Clever Gang Vork Their anie hi
Land Across die Ocean.
Walla WallaNov.
-Local banks
have received warning eireui tail
ing attention to- a gang's of clever
swindlers In f!pain, who In years past
have been successful In defrauding
people In this country out
sums of money. ' ..
of? large
The usual methods of procedure of
the gang are Illustrated by the case of
a young lady school teacher in a city
in the middle west. She had been in
correspondence for some time with a
person, In Spain who signed himself
"F. Lopez," who claimed to. have a
minor heir with a valuable estate for
whom they were looking for a guard
Inn. The heir always bears the name
of the vlctl mln this country and is
supposed to be,a distant relative. The
story told the school ' teacher was a
pitiful one and she became very much
Interested in the child's behalf. ' But
when "Mr. Lopez", wrote that It was
necessary to have $954 for legal ex
penses and transportation to this
country, she became, suspicious and
wrote the Spanish minister, who told
her she was lucky to escape In time
from the swindling scheme of a bad
gang.
The swindlers are said to have been
operating extensively of late and the
warning Is sent out as a protection to
patrons of banks throughout the coun
try. Search Warrant Issued.

warrant Issued today to investigate a
