To the. Editor of the Hramiumer.

Dear Sir,—lI observe that the Denver City Lot uwindle has been advertised in some of the Island newspapers, and asa consequence, some parties have written to me from home, asking me to secure for them from one to five lots each. Tho de- vice of the ‘ Denver Land Company” is ertainly very cunning, and the advertise- ment is ung questionabl y ingenious and de- captive. ae wo following articles, which appeared in the Colorado “Spri ings Gazette, of Nov. ifth a Pe i2th, res; pectively, shows

orth the character of the scheme which,

ippily, is now exploded. I ltpe no island people have been simple enough to

invest in such a crazy speculation. Lest they should, however, T take the carliest opportunity of informing them that the whole thing is a villainous swindle. T hope > Island press will- expose the fraud at

tha ¥ once.

This whole matter has been fully exposed in the Denver newspapers, and we should 10t have referred to it had we not learned that sevoral strangers in town were talking of investing some money in North Denver. We urge them to buy lots within half a

Mr. Grant waived a preliminary examina- ition and was held for trial before the United States court, in the sum of $1000.
