WORKED BIG SWINDLE
(By United Press Leased Wire.)
NEW YORK, Nov. 21.—Charged with having used the
United States mails to defraud, Sheldon Burr, Eugene
Burr and F. C. Tobey, members of. the firm of Bun-
Brothers, stock brokers, are held in $20,000 bonds each,
after pleading "not guilty" before United States Com
missioner Shields.
Commenting on the case, Postmaster General Hitch
cock said: : :
"The Burr concern was one of the worst swindles in
the history of the country. Without exaggeration it is
said that the concern, since it was organized in 1!K)7, has
unloaded $40,000,000 worthless oil and mining stocks on
the unsuspecting public. Other arrests will be forthcom
ing. The Burrs sold stocks of concerns in California, Ne
vada and other western states which the firm announced
were guaranteed. Hundreds of individual complains are
in our possession from every section of the country."

Two young fellows came Into a

Tbey had to'wait for some time, as
the chairs-were full, but finally
their turn- came, and it happened
that two. chairs were available at
about the same time.
"What'll you have?" asked the
barbers as soon as the hoys were
seated. "A shave." answered both
promptly. Taking a look at the
spßrse crow of down with which
the youthful faces were decorated,
the tonsorlal artists exchanged
knowing winks.
"Ever shaved before?" asked one
of them. "No," answered the hoy,
as his face began to assume a rosy

"Your face needs a massage,"

one of the'boys nearly jumped out
of their chairs. "Oee, that sure
