FLIM-FLAMMERS CAUGHT
Two bunco men who gave the names of
Frank Whitney and James Evans were brought
up from Doming by Sheriff Lockhart and placed
in the county cooler charged with working the
flim-flam racket, the making change puzzle,
whereby the merchant in changing $10 for them
gets mixed and they come out $5 ahead. They
worked the game all right on two Demingites,
Messrs. Byron and Hogdon, but were caught
dead to rights at Smith & Fleishman’s store.
