POLIGE RAVE NO CLUE TO CON MEN Swindlers of Wealthy North Da- kotan Get Away. Minneapolis, Oct. 15.—The police are ahsolutely without a olue to the Wwhereubouts of the two confidence men whe swindled H. F. Chaffee, the Amenia (N. D.) millionaire grain and land man, out of $:5,00) by working the “gold brick" game upon him and his son, who is an arsayer. The confidence man told a plausible story about a valuable gold mine that he and his half-breed friend, “Oro,” owned in Mexico. He said that there was a lien of $25,000 on the mine, he wanted to borrow that amount of money, and as security he would give to Chaffee two geld bricks, which he clainied were worth $40,000. Chaffee had his son examine the “gold brick,” together with another assayer, W. H. Harper, who, according to his card, waus located in the Rogers hotel. The test was satisfactory and Chaffee counted over to Armstreng, the confi- dence man, twenty-five $1,000 bills. The latter then invited the Chaffees to supper and at the close of the meal disappeared.. Investigation proved that Harper had also “made his get- away." The Chaffees investigated and found that the “gold bricks” were brass. The elder Chaffee recognized in the rogues’ gallery the picture of the man who claimed to be Armstrong and Chief Corviston says he is one of the most notorious “con” men in the country.
