THE LUND FORGERIES
They Are Likely to Ruin Hundreds
of Innocent Victims


Iowa Falls, Iowa, Aug. 19.-A pre-
liminary skirmish that is to precede
the great litigation growing out of the
gigantic forgeries of c.. L. Lund in
Northern Iowa has just terminated,
and results in the defeat of one of his
innocent victims. John Johnson of
Emmett county made a loan through
Lund, giving his farm as security.
Lund sold the mortgage. Johnson
paid Lund the money a few years
later, and Lund released the same.
though having no right to do so at
ter having disposed of the paper. The
third party now demands the payment
of the mortgage, and it looks as if
johnson would have to pay the mort
gage second time.
johnson garnisheed some life insur-
ance money that was left the wife
after Lund's sudden exit, but the
courts hold that this money is not liza
BILE. All that Johnson has to show for
his $1,000 is release of mortgage that
is no good. Other cases as bad are an
tlcipated, and it will necessitate an
immense amount of litigation to
straighten out the affairs growing out
OF Lund's nefarious business.
