A Clinton county citizen was lured by two sharpers into paying 100 dollars for a thousand in bogus money. The pair passed genuine looking money before replacing it with worthless paper and leaving him penniless. The man had planned to swindle neighbors with fake cash, and lacked common sense and honesty. Charles Starry, a Loveland merchant, was attacked last Friday night on the Ohio and Southwestern railroad bridge after the flood. The robber fled, muttering about the unluckiness of people who mishandle portable property, and disappeared with no money on Starry.
