Farmer Wallace Heard From-P Port
land, Aug. 28.-About August 21st a
young man claiming to be an attorney
and county judge of Pennington coun-
ty South Dakota. came into Portland,
Oregon, and registered as Fred H.
Whitefeld, Rapid City, s. D. In less
than twelve hours he was heralded by
the two evening papers, as In love
with Portland, and that in few days
he would return to Pennington county,
| South Dakota, resign the Judge ship,
dispose Of his property and return to
Portland. hang out his single, etc.
But young man Whitfield did not stop
at this point. He braced up, threw his
shoulders back and told what an awful
bad place South Dakota, and especial.
1 ly Pennington county is; that it. is
controlled by the cattle trust; that
thousands OF cattle died on the range
In May this year; that all the crops
4 were destroyed in May, etc. All this
he gave as the reason for leaving his
d old home where the people had elected
him county Judge. Winding up By
saying that it did not take much OF !
man to be judge in that county. This
ne thought was joke-and funny
The man and his criticism would
have passed as cold air and soon beer
forgotten If the Evening journal had
not located this prominent jurist, Hon
Fred II. Whitfield, in North Dakota
several times in the published inter
view. This caught the eye OF Farme,
Wallace and the following hot one was
