Swindled Business Men.DubuQue. Jan. 80.—One of the professional men who became a. subscriber to the Charles Brandon Commercial Company of Pueblo. Col..” says that the Dubuquers, who became subscribers, and yielded up their $25 •■membership fee/*are “laying low” and not saying much about it. He says further: “We were all a lot of suckers, and should not have let Andrews go as long as we did|He did not live up to the contract he made with me, and I understand that he did not live up to the .contract he made with others. I was to pay him a commission of five per cent on all collections made on current business, and be was to get from 10 to 25 per cent on all debts that he collected. 1 gave him. my note, and so did other members, while others paid down their $25 fee.I estimate from the number of subscribers he had to the “Charles Branden Commercial Agency,” that he must have get out of town with from $1,500 to ?1,-$00. He would have no trouble In negotiating the notes. His subscribers included lawyers, doctors and business men. He was to make reports of col- j leg; lections every twenty-four hours, and remit a check for the amount collected, after the commission was deducted; but he forgot to make the report and send me the check. One of the subscribers had Andrews arrested and got the worst of it, because two or three others were afraid of the bluff made by Andrews.The subscriber paid the costs amounting to $2.80.'*She Wants to Kill Herself.
