HASTINGS, Neb., June 15.—(Special Tel- egram.)—Since Michael Hess was buncoed out of $2,600 this week Hastings business men have been fighting shy of propositions advanced by strangers, but this did not embarrass nor prevent a young stranger, who has been about the city during the last week, from going to W. H. Linnings, a money lender, for the purpose of secur- ing a $10,000 loan on a handful of diamonds. The man with the dlamonds claimed that he wanted the money to open up a gam- bling house in this city. Mr. Linnings re- fused to make the loan, so the fellow carted his jewels to two of the banks, where he put up the same kind of talk, but failed to get anybody interested. There was another stranger in Hastings today who claimed to represent a linseed oll company in Ohlo. His proposition was to make a certaln business man agent of twelve countles, provided he bought a car- 1oad of linseed ofl and give him a big per- centage on every gallon sold in the district. This oil was offered at a great sacrifice from the present price and, if after having used hulf a carload of the ol the agent became dissatisfied, he would not have to pay & cent for the oll that had been dis- posed of and he would have his money re- funded. The only clapse in the deal which bound the merchant was that the salesman insisted upon dn advanced per cent of $185, sald money to be sent in draft immediately to the firm in Ohlo. The proposition was such a liberal one that the stranger soon closed a deal, but at the time the draft was to be secured the local suspiclous, because it was too plain that it the proposition were legitimate it meant a windfall of thousands of dollars to him during the year, so he balked and did not let the money get out of his reach.
