Gigantic Land Swindle Sald to Have Been Engineered There. ST. LOUIS, Feb. 12.—A special to tic Re- public from Sioux City, Ia., says: It has just come to the surface that a land swindle of large proportions was worked on eastern in- vestors during the palmy days of Sloux City's boom, and up to the present time the victims have kept still about it. The swindlers bought a large farm just east of the city, where land is not very expensive, and plaited it into small lots, which were deeded to various persons in the deal. Mortgages were given for payment in sums nearly as large as the alleged sale price of the lots, and the manager, with these evi- dences of sale, went eastward in search of investors. He borrowed money, giving his notes and putting up his mortzages as security. In these ways he raised from $300 to $400 on each lot ‘and secured thousands of “dollars | from eager capitalists Holders of some of these notes and mortgages recently wrote to a leading law firm to have them commence foreclosure proceedings and investigation re- vealed the fact that the lots are not worth what it would cost to secure them by a fore- closure. The parties them, it is stated, ordered the lawyers to carry the matter be- fore the grand jury and evidence is being prepared for this purpose.
