Fillwock said that one of the men, who proposed to buy the farm, called three times last week.

On his first visit he explained to Fillwock that he had a grocery in Detroit, but desired to take up fruit farming and, having noticed Fill-wock's for sale sign, was interested. I told him the price for the 40 acres, stock and buildings was $10,000," Fillwock declared. "He argued that the price was too high, but said he would talk to his wif9 and brother in Detroit. Drove Gray Car "He returned, as he said he would and inspected the place, then Friday he came back. He drove a gray car, and when he ut out in front of the farm, my wife and who were in the vineyard, went to the house.

He said ht guessed everything was all right, and that we would have the papers drawn. While we were standing there another man came up. I asked him what he wanted. He didn't act as though he knew the other fellow, but said to him, 'you just passed me down the Then he went on to say that he was sent here by his aged father who was dying in Texas. He said his father worked for a man named Schultz here 40 years ago and stole money from him.

and that his father went to Texas where he bought a farm. Oil was found on the place, he said, and his father had become rich. Now near death, he said his father had sent him to repay Schultz, it Schultz could1 be found, and If not to give the money he carried to three Christian farmers who could show a like amount He asked me how much we had and we told him $7,000. He showed several rolls of bills and said we should get our money and he would put the same amount with It" At this point Fillwock said the other stranger, the farm "buyer" suggested that this would be an excellent plan, and that the Fillwocks would be very lucky selling their farm and doubling their cash savings at the same time. He took a large suitcase from his car and took out a light steel box.

It was agreed that Mrs. Tillwock would go to the banks with the other man and draw out the money. She waa told that It would have to be cash. She obeyed and later the bills and an equal amount produced by the confidence men were placed in the box and locked. At this juncture the old trick was worked.

The strangers handed Mr. and Mrs. Fillwock the. box to keep, explaining that they would return after going to Benton Harbor. The man who proposed buying the farm said he had to "get some gold at the depot" to make the farm purchase.

But the box the Fillwocks held was filled only with torfl news-papels. The box containing their savings had been exchanged for an exact duplicate while the "generous" stranger, on a mission of retribution rummaged in the suitcase. Treasure Gone As the two drove away they called to the Fillwocks to guard the box carefully until their return. Throughout the strange negotiations both Fillwock and his wife admitted that they had no suspicions and it did not appear strange that two men apparently strangers should, within a brief space, become close friends. Nor did they doubt the tar-fetched tale- of the dying father sending his son from Texas to give away an undetermined amount of money.

It was not until the night had passed and part of Saturday, and nothing was seen of the pair, that Mrs. Fillwock became alarmed and broke open the box to discover the $7,000 "gyp." Fillwock and his wife described one of the men as short and stockv. dark complexloned and with a growth on nis right cheek. The other, they said, was tall and fair. Both descriptions tally with those of confidence men who defrauded Cauffman several months ago.

Sheriff Bryant, who has taken personal charge of the case, today urged the people to beware of other confidence men and appealed to bank depositors to seek the advice ot their bankers before embarking upon business deals where actual currency ia demanded.
