son, of Des Moines., a paralytic in-
valid. has come here all the way from
her home in the hope of saving the life
of Abe Majors. boy of 1S, sentenced
to be shot two weeks from Saturday.
Miss Johnsons motive is purely humans
tartan. She believes the boy is inno-
cent, and many others share ner belief.
Majors is accused OF shooting Capt.
William A. Brown, police officer, near
Brigham City, Utah. about a year ago.
He was with his brother, who was
killed at the same time, and the claim
is that. the brother fired the fatal shot.
Majors was convicted when the feeling
was running high. Since then the state
supreme court has upheld the verdict
and the board Of pardons has refused
to Intervene. Now Miss Johnson has
come here to try to carry the case to
the United States supreme court. She
issued an appeal to the people of Utah
for funds, heading the subscription list
herself \ prominent local attorney
has become interested and will conduct
the case without charge.

Roland, Aug. GA smooth sw:ndler'
has been getting in his graft on the
farmers of this vicinity and Radcliffe
the past few weeks altho the matter
did not come to light here until Satur-

slick looking fellow, claimed to be the
agent of an imaginary farmers supply
house Of Chicago of enormous propor-
tons. In fact, one so large, SO the
agent said. that they owned all of the
cars that We're painted yellow running
on the Northwestern road. The house
handled everything fro ma nursing bot
tie nipple TO threshing machine and
sold goods from % to 20 per cent of
what is ordinarily paid for them. Queer
as it may seem, he had no contracts to
beguile the unsuspecting farmer into
signing. but merely took their orders
and asked q certain per cent as pay
ment in advance. This amount he gave
them a receipt for. He commenced

about week ago when he was just
closing an order with Rasmus Rasmus-
son, a farmer south of here. when one
5of the former customers from near
Radcliffe drove into the yard with
blood in his eye and information at
hand that no such a house exiseed in
Chicago. He demanded a refund Of his
IS advance payment. The agent lost no
time in forking over a $40 bill and took
a hike. Since that time he has NOT
been heard of. 1t is hard to tell just
how much he was successful in quilting
his victims out of before he was ex-
posed, as nonesof them seem to care to
admit buying of him.. However.git is
safe to say that it amounts to several

He rose just then and walked away,
while the smoking crowd wondered.
Then one saw it and began reading,
and then another muttered something
severe, but the doctor had gone.
