BUYS GOLD BRICK.

II. F. Chaffee, President of Amenta & Shar­on Land Company, and Reputed a

Millionaire, Pays $25,000 for a $15 Gold

Brick.

A Minneapolis special-of the 15th inst. says: H. F. Chaffee, millionaire Dakota land owner, president of the Amenia & Shar­on Land company of Minneapolis, paid $25,000 in cold cash this afternoon to a clever swindler. In return for the small fortune Mr. Chaffee tonight found him­self in possession of eighty pounds of yellow metal probably worth about $15, and two small steamer trunks.

It was the boldest single swin­dle ever perpetrated in the north­west. The principals were "John Armstrong," a gray haired min­er and owner of a fictitious gold mine in Mexico, and "W. H. Harper,'' a Philadelphia archae­ologist. Mr. Chaffee handed over the money at 5:30 p. m., and one hour later became aware that he had been duped. Both men had

„ left the town and the police so •:;< far have been unable to find any •> trace of them. | Mr. Chaffee me t Armstrong

three days ago at his home in • Amenia, N. D., where the swin­

dler said he was in search of an uncle named Chaffee. Upon see­ing his prospective victim he told him he had made a mistake, as his uncle was a much older man. Inadvertently he dropped a re­mark of a large sum of money awaiting the uncle. Mr. Chaffee inquired for further particulars.

The miner told of the mine he and a half-breed Indian owned in Mexico and how he was in search of his uncle to secure $25,000 to pay off several liens held against the property. He told of the two golden ingots, worth $40,000 at any government mint, which he held in two trunks as security for the loan.

Chaffee bit and the deal was made and cash turned over to the swindlers without delay.:

Be­sides, there is an prchard on the place, growing all manner of fruits, and the same has already attained such a stage in the mat­ter of bearing fruit as to furnish a sufficient quantity to satisfy the requirements of several fam­ilies.

His house is situated but a half mile from a street car line out from the city.
