The next day the brick was brought around. and Trenear agreed to put up the money necessary for the pur- chase. Then he aud Gordon were going tothe mint at Philadelphia and make a small fortune which they would divide. Trenear mortgaged his farm to a Holton money lender for $1,000 and agreed to meet Gor don at the Chesterfield hotel in To peka at 1 o'clock this afternoon and exchange it for the brick. All this time Trenear kept mum agan oyster, and his folks knew nothing about the deal. They thought Gordon was negotiating for the purchase of the farm. Last night a neighbor learned that Tren- ear had borrowed $1,000 and as his suspicions bad been aroused by the presence of the stranger, he notified the family, who in turn, notified the sheriff.
