No. 42 There is no reason under the sun why the service on this line should not have been improved long ago. The only rea son it hasn’t been done is because there is no competing line to make it neces sary- We hope the company will main tain the improved service long after the exposition is over and forgotten. King Still Missing. Although the search has continued dil igently since it first became known that Wm. King was missing from his Trail creek homestead no trace has yet been found of the missing man. On Monday another searching party, composed of his brothers Ed., Charles, Herman and several friends, started for the Trail coun try in the hope that a more thorough search of the mountains and canyons of that rugged section might yet reveal some evidence of the man other than that which is feared. He either became lost and perished in the mountains or as is hoped, took a sudden notion to leave his homestead and neglected to let any one know of his intention. Sold Him a Gold Brick. The famous "gold brick" swindle has claimed another victim, this time an old man by the name of Wm. Vance, living near Salem being victimized and robbed of $10,000, and as a result is now lying at the point of death at the home of his daughter in Portland. Several weeks were required by the bunco men to work up to the termina tion of the daring trick, secure the old man’s fortune and escape. After leaving they dropped him a letter, as is usual with such men in such cases, saying they presumed he was aware that he had been swindled. It would do no good, they said, to make a fuss about it, as he would be hooted by all of his friends for being a "sucker,” and the best thing he could do was to keep quiet and make the best of it. There are no new features to the game, as the swindlers worked it, and its de tails have been published from ocean to ocean since Mount Hood was only a hill. One of the criminals took lodgings in the villiage where the victim lives, remain ing there until he was able to gather all important details as to his antecedents, the old man’s journeying« and such data as is always necessary in carrying to the final termination the moss-grown trick. Having obtained sufficient details, the swindler had his partner equip a fake assay office in a nearby town, to where the old man was taken later, that the gold brick used could be assayed and the value of the mine to be sold verified. The gold mine, from which the brick was taken, was located in Arizona, they told the old man, and was the property of an Indian. The man who worked the deal with the old man possessed a pho tograph of an Indian, who, he said, own ed the mine. The red man wanted to sell the property and great was the old man’s chance, he was told, to buy cheaply a very valuable mine. It has developed that the daughter of Vance used every effort to persuade her father to have nothing to do with the confidence operator, even going so far on the day he left Albany for Salem to telegraph a Salem attorney to have him add his influence with hers. Vance stub bornly refused to listen to the lawyer and persisted in going to the Ladd and Bush bank where the money chauged hands.
