Freeman, Butte, follow- ing their arrest on charges of obtain- ing large quantities of cigars from dealers here and in Mandan under the false pretence of replacing un- salable types with new and more pop- ular makes. This swindle has been worked widely in Minnesota recently, Police said. Under a search warrant, Sheriff Rollin Welch Monday afternoon re- covered about 700 of the cigars from the rooms occupied at a local hotel by Clark and by Freman and Mrs. Free- man, Welch said. Records also obtained in the search reveal the names of dealers in many towns who seem to have fallen for the swindle, it was alleged. What the outcome of the arrests will be was not definite today. Chief Chris J. Martineson was out of the city, attending a trial at Fort Yates as a witness, and the prisoners offered, through their counsel, Charles Foster, to repay their victims here for cigars obtained. Some were so Others will be given back their cigars. The factory, the brand which was involved in the operations of the men, | has refused to prosecute. The com- pany telegraphed its representative for this territory at Minneapolis that the matter was one to be handled locally. If any prosecution is made here it probably will be on @ charge of ob- taining property under false pretense without compensation. The method of the two men was to visit dealers in the particular cigar on which they were operating and represent that they had been sent by the maker to redeem stocks of that type on hand, Welch said. They explained that ‘many points were reporting the type a slow seller. They would state that @ shipment of a more salable type, equal in number to the cigars taken over, would be sent the dealer. One wholesale house here fell for the story. Also some drug stores and halls and other stores carrying cigars as a side line. A big drug store fn Mandan turned over 150 cigars.
