Well Pleased with Canada.

A. F. Bittner and G. H. Anderson.
of Raymond, MIMI, returned from
Canada last Sunday morning very
we'll pleased with their trip They both
purchased land from the Manitoba
Land & Investment Co. at Langen-
burg, Assiniboia. Mr.. Bittner pur-
chased q section and Mr.. Anderson
three-quarter- sections. To show what
they think OF the country, we quote
these gentlemen as follows:
1.-THE weather was just beautiful. In
fact, could not have been better. The
land is a nice undulating prairie with
groves scattered here and there; the
soil is Of the very best, being black
loan all the way from fifteen inches to-
three feet thick, underlaid with clay
sub-soil. The crops are looking fine
and wherever the farmers have put it
in in season it is we'll advanced, even
more so than down here. The farmers
tell US that failure of crop is I'M
known; that they get an average of
from twenty-five to thirty five and even
as high as forty bushels to the acre of
wheat, and other crops in like proper
tion. We found the country even bet
ter than it had been represented to us.
Any man with a knowledge of what is
required to make a goodfarming coun-
try has only to 60 up there to be con-
WINGED. We are going to be located
up there as soon as we can make the
proper arrangements. Land is selling
very fast in Canada, and the time will
soon be passed when good farming
lands can be had within the present.
range of prices. We would advise
anyone who intends to go there to do
so suOn."

Death Of George Fisher.

A message was received in this city
Wednesday afternoon announcing the
death of George E. Fisher, which
occurred at the Sisters Hospital in
Hot Springs, S. D. that morning.
The sad news came as q great surprise
to his Willmar friends, whom he had
left about a couple of weeks ago.
Mr.. Fisher was stricken with typhoid
fever in this city some time ago and
had been quite i'll for over a month.
The illness terminated in q compli-
cation of diseases. Only short
time ago he had recovered sufficiently
to be able to be around and was
apparently quite we'll when he decided
to 60 to Hot Springs to try the baths
in the hope of getting more strength.
Pneumonia however set in and his
last days were spent at the hospital
Very little can be learned regarding
the relatives of the deceased, as he
was not in the habit of speaking
much of his personal affairs. It is
said that he has brother resid ing a
Redield, Iowa. 1t was wired from
here to Hot Springs that a message
be sent to his brother, and the
remains will probably be taken there
for burial. At this writing no further
information has been had regarding
the disposal Of the remains. Deceased
Is said to leave a family living in
Chicago.
George Fisher had been an old en-
ploye of the Great Northern as en-
gineer for long time, and was known
as dad" Fisher among his friends
here. He was quite popular among
the railroad boys, who will learn OF
his death with much regret. He was
a member OF the local lodge of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
and If nothing is heard of relatives
the remains will likely be bro ught
here for burial.

swore out complaints here on Tuesday
and Sheriff Lundquist made an effort
to locate the guilty parties. It seems
that they had boarded an afternoon
train and that the victims had given
chase before it's departure only too
late to see their men. kilograms were
sent in different directions giving de-
scriptions of the men and ordering
officials to hold them. It is presumed
that they left for the east and word
was wired to the sheriffs at Minneapo-
lis and other points. The notes had
been made out on blanks from q
Worthiugton bank and Sheriff Lind
quist also telegraphed to that city.
The above is only one OF the many
gratis that are being worked upon
people these days throughout the
country. The best advice we can give
is to let alone all schemes sprung by
strangers, especially those in which
the goods are not delivered before
payments are made.
AS far as doctors are concerned, we
believe that no reliance should be
placed upon any of the profession who
travel through the country districts
soliciting treatments il the manner
that was adopted by the above. It is
not necessary for a good reputable
physician to seek business in this way,
and the only safe way is to consult
those who are known to be reliahla.

A new GRAFT EXPOSED
Travelling doctors" Visit Ksndiyohi
County and Number Of Farmers
Arc Victimized.

Arc victimized.
During the past week information
has reached this city to the effect that
there are several gangs of grafters
who have been travelling through the
county and securing victims on the
pretense that they are representing a
large medical institute in Chicago.
The plan as near as we can find out
seems to be carried out as follows: A
party of two or three agents will en-
ploy teams at the livery barns in the
towns in the county. They cover the
territory where there are supposed to
be invalids. and by making inquiries
regarding the differentfamilies through
the county learn of cases of chronic
illness. A house is visited and big
claims are made for the wonderful
healing of q certain ''doctor," who is
claimed to be advertising the Chicago
institute, and who usually is in watt
ing at hotel. Willmar was for q
time made the headquarters of one
these gangs. These smooth agents
will discover the different persons
afflicted and by their talk will soon
persuade them that they ought to give
the great doctor q trial. Many re-
markable cures had been effected by
the doctors of the institute and for the
sake of little advertising through
this part OF the country free medicine
and attendance would be given and
the doctor would be glad to make q
personal call upon permission of the
family. The consent would be given
and later the doctor would be driven
out. A diagnosis of the case would
be made and the promise of course of
a speedy cure. 1t was necessary that
some consideration must be made in q
financial way to defray expenses, ETC.. :,
etc., and the result was that note
was obtained. In some cases, for the
doctors services, all the way from $40
to sums of over 800 had been OBJ
tanned in this manner, according to
reports. A second visit was made at
some places, and if the fraud had not
been detected so soon the doctor Nigh
have made a third, but this was rather
doubtful after the notes we're once Sc
cured. Suspicious were aroused in
some cases and the doings of the gang
began to reach the public.
In the meantime the notes had been
presented at the banks and had been
offered for sale at large discounts. A
Tribune representative made inquiry
and learned that q local, bank had
bought one note given for s64, which
was against resident OF the town of
Mamre. The man presenting it gave
his name as George Wilkinson. The

local DankS nave the reputation OF
being very careful about buying notes
from strangers without careful in.
quiry into the matter, and in this in
stance it seems that the bank was fully
warranted in making the purchase.
All three banks had been visited, but
only one note had been disposed of as
far as we can learn.
The victims so far reported are Olof
Peterson, whose note was for $50; John
Bjork, $40: Mrs. Anders Lind, $96,
| and J. A. Swenson, $64. The first
three are residents of Dovre and the
latter of Mamre. Reports from others
are expected, as it is thought the oper-
atoms had been carried on very sue.
cessfully in other parts of the county.
Mr.. Peterson was fortunate in having
his note destroyed as the result of the
arrest OF the doctor who had visited
his home.
Friday of last week the first pro-
ceedings were instituted against the
grafters by the arrest of Joe M. Will
son, who was the doctor above re-
ferred to. The complaint was sworn
out by Olof Peterson and the charge
preferred was the practice of medicine
without q license. He entered q plea
OF guilty and Judge Bitterness imposed
q fine of $50 and costs. The fine was
paid and the fake doctor made his dis
appearance. The investigation lead
ing to the arrest was caueed by Mr..
Peterson becoming suspicious of the
treatment given his wife, who was SUI
fering from catarrh, and he consulted
the Willmar doctors. Drs. Harold,
Frost and Johnson were instrumental
In making an inquiry addressed to the
state board OF medical examiners, and
the fact was revealed that Sullivan
was only CRATER and not an author
lied physician in this state. The war
rant for his arrest was drawn and the
case disposed of in quick order.
In this instance it seems that there
were two confederates who acted as
advance agents. "Doc" Sullivan made
an attempt to return the note to- the
sigper, but it was refused, and in order
to get rid CT this damaging bit of evil
dence he tore the paper into small
pieces, and even went so far as to
chew part of it. twas fortunate that
the arrest was so timely. Mr.. Peterson
will now escape any payment on note
given for bogus treatment, and at the
same time the gang has been given a
scare which cuts their work short in
this vicinity at least. It is said that
this doctor had a large bunch of notes
at the time OF. his arrest which would
probably figure up into the thousands.
Most of these were no doubt secured
outside of this county. .. IT. & s...
