WELLS COUNTY FARMERS
VICTIMIZED BY LIGHTNING
ROD SWINDLER.

Fessenden News: August AfIeldt
has been up against lightning rod
swindle and wants to advertise the
swindlers, in order that others may
be on their guard. Last week a smooth
fellow came along and offered to put
rods on A ugust's barn free of charge,
and would charge for nothing but the
points. He was to take out the work
in board. August signed a contract
and next day along came some fellows
and put up the rods. When they got
through the contract was sprung on
him and he was compelled to dig up,
$3.50 on account thereof. The price
was 75c. per foot for all the points
but the number of feet which figured
up were a caution. In order chat
they be given an opportunity to work
others, the first man insisted that
Mr.. Affeldt tell no one that he Offer
ed to put the rods in for what his
board amounted to. This covered up
his crookedness, apparently, until
he could work others. Mr.. Affeldt
wishes to notify others over the
state to beware OF the scheme. Quite
a number of well-to-do farmers in
Wells county were duped by these
|swindlers. They always pick theil
men and aim to get notes which vii
not have to be discounted.

Thomas Nogosek was in James

Gently threatening his life. Mr..
Nogosek is a well-to-do farmer and

He has had some trouble with some

While he is not absolutely certain

Since the threats were made Mr..
Nogosek has been very careful and
has not given his enemies chance to
waylav him after dark. He has taken
precautions to defend himself andwill
give anyone attacking him a warm
reception.
Efforts will be made to ascertain
the author Of the threatening letters
and he will probably be given the
punishment, so richly merjted in his
case.

STATE CROP REPORT.

Bismarck, June 30.-The past has
been another dry week, with the ex.
ception of showers in portions Of the
Missouri valley and lower Red river
valley. ranging from a trace to half
an inch. Over the rest OF the state
quite serious drOuth prevails, and
crops of all kinds, except fax are suff-
ering and have been injured to some
extent by lack of moisture. This
condition is almost general, although
some few sections report that crops
in their respective localities are do
ing well, but they cannot 60 much
longer without rain. Some fields are
now entirely destroyed, and in some
parts of the Red river valley fields
are being plowed up.
Wheat is fast going backward ;tields
are turning yellow and in many in
stances the stools are dying out,
leaving very thin stand, while weeds
are growing very fast. Early wheat
is beginning to head out with very
short straw, generally not over foot
high, and with such short straw,it is
expected that the heads will be short.
Had it not been for the continued
cool weather that has prevailed this
spring, but little of the wheat crop
would now be left: its salvation has
been the cool and cloudy weather.
Oats are not doing we'll: the straw
is short, and fields are suffering for
rain. harley is heading out in all
parts, with very short straw and the
stand is generally poor. Early fax is
doing the best or anv crop and is
generally reported in very good
but that sown late has
not come up, as rule, and where it
is up. is very thin, uneven stand,
and quite weedy. Corn continues
backward: it needs warmer weather
and has, like the rest OF the crop,
suffered from lack of moisture. 1t
Is considerably behind the season.
Hay promises to be very poor

,eived from any section. IN the wes-

to seeing Sherman Wells bank the
harm the morning after the disap-

spot where the body was found. Only
about seven or eight feet OF the en-
tire barn was banked and that was
where the body was concealed.
The bloody undershirt made sem
