CENTRE COUNTY MAN FLEECED IN STOCK DEAL. Orvis M. Pletcher, a native of Cen- tre county, is a sadder but very much wiser man through the loss of $1500 he invested with a quartette of Philadelphia promoters in a cor- poration stock scheme they repre- sented which is now claimed to be irregular. According to informa- tion from Lock Haven Pletcher met the men in that city. They were William M. Murphy, J. H. Gaunt, Edward F. Barry and C, K. Barnes, all of Philadelphia. The men claim- ed to represent a large corporation and induced Pletcher to invest in some of the stock which he did to the extent of $1500. This hap- pened about a month ago. Lately he came to the conclusion that he had been fleeced and made informa- tion against the men. Two of them were arrested in Philadelphia, last week, and taken to Lock Haven for trial.
