John Stivland, who resides in the
south-end of the county near Milton,
appears to be the only Cavalier county
farmer, as far as we can learn, who has
been caught in the downfall Of S. W,
Mclaughlin, the Grand Forks real
estate man, although number of Penn
bina county farmers are in the same
boat. This fall Stivland handed over to
Mclaughlin large payment on farm
bought of an eastern company, which
Mclaughlin receipted tor as agent
Since which time the attorneys of the
company notify Mr.. Stivland that he
will quite likely be called upon to pay
the amount over again. He holds Nc
Laughlin's receipt, but the latter failed
to turn ove1 the money to the company.
The question now remains whether the
receipt is good and the loan company
will lose or whether it is worthless and
Stivland will be the loser. Mclaughlin
has for years past been one OF Grand
Forks, most prominent men and his
present embarrassing position is a sur
prise to all.
