A New Jersey Farmer is Buncoed Out of THree Thousand Dollars. Columbus Beekman, a wealthy farmer of f rankhn Park, N. J., was swindled out of $3,000 by two bunco sharps last Friday. He was ap proached by a man who said his name was Howe. The two men started to drive to a farm of Beekman's, which Howe said he would purchase. On the way they met a man in a long linen duster. Howe knew him and invited him into the wagon. On sorr: pretext they returned to the house rtowe ottered to snow JJeekman a game. He took a pack of cards out of his pocket. One was marked with a red ball, the others contained pic tures of bats and masks as used in a ball game. The cards were dealt, and Howe informed Beekman and the duster man that each had won $5 He paid each from a big wad. Then he dealt again and informed the two that they had won $5,000 apiece. He refused to pay unless Beekman and his companion showed $10,000 to prove that they could pay if they had lost. The duster-clad stranger, who was call ed Tones, told Beekman that he could raise the money with friends, and that Beekman should raise the balance. Beekman accompanied the men to Cranbury, and drew $3,000 out of the Cranbury Bank, turning it over to the stranger. On the way home Beekman stopped at the house of his brother-in-law, John H. Stubbs. At Stubbs' house Jones asked Beekman to remain while he took Howe to the depot. The valise was left in Beekman's care, When it was opened it was found empty. Beekman reported his loss to the local police authorities, but no trace of the swindlers has been found, ELECTED OFFICERS. Washington Camp No. 310, P. O.
