AUGUSTINE WELL SUPPLIED WITH CONFIDENCE MEN known. It is asserted by some that Le will come back and if he doesn’t there is the five thousand dollars as security. The fight of Carter to prevent his extradition to New York for tria! has, regardless of his guilt or inno- rence, aroused feeling locally strong against the confidence men who op- erated here last winter. There are now between six and ten of the gen- try in St. Augustine, but they are laying low and not working much yet. They will probably continue to lay low if they are waiting for feel- ing against them to subside. In the past it has ‘been difficult for either the sherift’s office or the po- lice to obtain much evidence against members of the gang that would suf- fice to convict them as those who were badly fleeced usually waited several days before they got their wits together sufficient to report the fame. The confidence man working the game was by then far away. It is pretty certain that steps will be taken this season by the people of the city to aid the officials and to rrake it 80 warm for the crowd tha: they will not find it a good camping ground.—S8t.
