The Bohemian Oats Army struck this section of tlio State some time ago, and its agents were very successful in looking np suckers with more money than discretion. Their field of operations were in Stoplienson, Ogle, Carroll, and Whiteside counties.

It is said tho fanners of the lust mimed county were fche most successfully worked," aiid thousands upon thousands of dollars in notes are said to bo coming due soon. And it is further slated that the chief of the gang who secured the notes and sold them to speculators at a-discount is now enjoying life in Canada, far away from the scene of his successful and bold operations. A VICTIM of the army was in the city, and called at the olllco of A. T. Green, and to that gentleman ho detailed his grievances.

He is very anxious to resist payment on the piece of paper thai has his time- honored signature, and is still more anxious to have the, swindlers arrested. The army is credited working their scheme in the following way: They lirst pick out several well known farmers in a county, and in a legitimate business way induce them to receive sonic of the Bohemian oats, for which they pay $10 per bushel, never buying very many hundred bushels. By this means they get the farmers in a notion to raise Bohemian oats, and enrich themselves. At this stage of the game thn agents work the county, make the acquaintance of the country folks, go to church and taffy piilliugs with the damsels, tickle the babies under the chin, treat tho boys to the best, and talk just as the "old gentleman" does on all matters- political, and otherwise, and wind up the acquaintance with selling the latter ten bushels of Bohemian oats at $100, taking his note -bearing six or seven per cent. Interest, in payment fwr tho oats.

The farmer understands that the sleek young fellow will buy all the oats lie raises at the same price he pays for them, and considers that he has at last gol Ihe golden calf by Hie tail, until he discovers his note in bank, or in the hands of some speculator who has taken judgment against him, while the sleek young man is working pastures new, looking for other nice old gentlemen with money who want to take hold of the same calf's tail. It leaks out the army that has been working the neighborhood sold a large number of the miles to speculators, and that the swindle was perpetrated on a gigantic, scale. We know of a Stephenson county farmer who resides near Baileyville who was not caught, and will have no regrets. He is as fond of a swindler as, a terrier is of a rat, and the man who comes on his place will) Ihe avowed purpose-of gelling Ids signature to a note, or in any way swindle him, is kicked off the place. This is how be served an agent in the Bohemian Oats Army.

James .1 lowers was arrested at the Salvation Army barracks one night last week, by Special Policeman Warehani, and a charge of drunk and disorderly preferred against him. Tho case was called for trial at the otlice of Magistrate Wagner Thursday afternoon, and a jury came to the conclusion that the charges preferred were not proven. It was with difliculty that a jury was chosen, and after a or more were excused the following were accepted: (). V.

Munii, foreman; C. M. Shaffer, W. T. Mitchell, S.

S. Taggart. Isaac Haws, James Howe. Ollicer Wareham was sworn, and testilled he was under the impression Bowers was drunk at the time he arrested him; that he was at the barracks; had his hat on, ami offered it to him (Warehani) when lie asked him to remove it. Kx-Olllcer Brubaker testified that he met Bowers early in the evening, and he appeared gentlemanly, and was behaving well.

It was his opinion Bowers had been drinking, but, not to such an extent as to be quarrelsome. lie told Brubaker that be was looking after Mark Bowers. After he was arrested, Bowers asked Brnbaker to go up to the station to prove he was innocent 1 Pansy and Warehani were also examined, and Sheriff Stewart tes- tilled he had a conversation with Bowers on the evening referred to, and if he was drunk then he had been drunk every time he met him for twenty years. When the Sheriff was speaking to him, he made an engagement to do some work at the jail next day. The defendant swore that he was not intoxicated, and was in no way disorderly.

Others were examined, ami the jury were not long in arriving at the conclusion above referred to. Here By-an'-By. Confidence tricksters operated in the time-worn manner on a crowd in Rockton Tuesday. The Hockford Itryisttr says il was the soap and money snap. A couple of g'ib talking chaps drove to the centre of the town, pulled out a box of soap and began operations.

They wrapped a $10 bill about one of the cakes of soap, a Sf) bill around another, and dropped them into the box. or pretended to drop them. They then sold the soap for a pick. The crowd were sure they knew where the cakes containing the money were placed, and bit rapidly, paid their cash and drew, but never drew a prize. The sharpers took in as many then remarking "good-bye" drove rapidly away.

It's the same old game, but then there will always be suckers, no matter how often it is exposed. It was simply a sli-ighl-of-haud three-card inoutc trick, and you may warrant that the moneyed cukes were never placed within reach of the chance takers.
