Manager Baker of Hie Bandon
Creamery company received
word
from Hie postal inspectors at San
Francisco this week that E. F. Zuerti.
the commission uierclimit who had
fleeced tlie local firm together with
several others in Coos county, has
been bound over to tlie Federal grand
jury.
At th? preliminary hearing
Zueiti. who is said to be a clever
swindler, admitted that ho ow.id
these firms various am tints,
but
stated that he had simply been un-
aide to pay them. However liis at-
tempt to explain the fact that lie
cliatiged Hie name of liis business
firm and als.i locations so often is
said to have been unsatisfactory,
therefore lie has been held.
Mr. Baker has been requested by
the i>ostal authorities to gather all
tlie advertisiug matter anil letters lie
had received from Zuern and lie pre
pared to go to San Francisco in tlie
near future, as lie may lie called up
on as a witness when the alleged
swindler conies to trial.
