ohlELDS FOR THE FARMER.
Protective Associations Help to Bamo
Would-Be Swindlers.

! Protective Associations Help to Bamo
| Would-Be Swindlers.
| A protective influence exerted by the
trade association is that Of educating
it's members against the swlndles BY
which the followers of almost every
occupation or calling are victimized. It
Is recognized fact that swindlers and
confidence men ply their craft along
routine lines-in other words, they
move from place to place and work"
men in the same general line Of busi-
, Eess.
Recently grain buyer in Western
town was victimized in this manner.
Like all other local elevator men, ho
followed the practice Of advancing to
the farmers Of his locality a reasonable
sum of money against the grain which
they would soon market One day two
farmers hailing from rather remote
locality with which he was not partic-
ularly familiar came to him and asked
for an advance upon the crops they
were then cutting. The men appeared
to have met by accident at the elevator
and claimed to know each other only
casually, saying that their farms We're
some five or six miles apart.
AS these men were dressed in over
alls and hickory shirts, their faces AMI
arms being well Drowned by the sun,
the grain buyer naturally concluded
that they were genuine farmers, and,
after asking them few questions as
to their acreage, gave them the cash
advance on their crops which they
asked.
Later the elevator man learned to
his sorrow that they were pair Of
clever confidence men carefully made
up" in farmer style. They had con-
sistently worked" the grain buyers of
that region, being careful, however, to
keep out Of the territory covered by
the organization. The campaign Of
swindling could not have been sue
cessfully prosecuted among buyers
who belonged to an association, a.
their first swindle would have been
promptly reported to every member Of
the organization and efforts for the ar
rest and prosecution Of the confidence
men would have been made at once.

Peddling Her Own Pups.

Many compassionate persons have
sympathized with mother who for
several days has walked the business
districts soliciting purchasers for her
offspring The mother is a big New
foundland dog. She carries three hand
some puppies in basket placarded
For Sale," and proudly marches along
the street, following the footsteps Of
her owner. Her fond interest in the
puppies welfare gives a pathetic touch
to the method of her master In at
tempting to dispose Of them.
When people stop to examine the
puppies the proud mother sets the bas-
ket down gently and caresses the trio.
Il know it seems tough to have hen
peddnng the pups" exclaimed the own
er to a tender-hearted onloOker, hut
they're not all for sale. I'm keeping

FOR PEACE in CUBA
STRONG. Efforts ARE Being
MADE BY GOVERNMENT.
Trying to Avoid American Interven'
tion Either to Restore Peace or In.
cure Permanent CaImness-Fol.
lowing Advice Contained in Presi-
dent RooseveIt's Letter

Havana. Sept. 1.-THE government:
10 making final strenuous efforts tC
restore peace in Cuba and thus avoid
anv kind of American Intervention
The object of these endeavors, it is
said. is that it may be able to say by
the time Secretary of War Taft and
Mr. Bacon arrive that peace has been
already restored; therefore there is nc
need for American Intervention either
TO restore peace or insure permanent
tranquility. Members of the govern.
ment informed the Associated Press
that they are making efforts in accord
ance with the advice contained in Pres.
ident Roosevelt'S letter; that they have
no objection to the friendly assistance
Of the United States, but that they be.
lieve they can settle between the gov.
eminent and revolutionists without in.
reference. At least, they say they
are making an attempt to accomplish
this end unaided, and with fair pros.
poets of success.
PaIma's Decree
This is the latest phase of rapidly
changing situation that developed
when an extraordinary gazette was is
sued containing a decree signed by
President Palma. The decree follows
All campaign operations are sus.
pended, and in consequence the gov.
/. eminent forces will act only on the
defense throughout. The secretary of
the interior will issue all necessary
orders"
Secretary Montalvo and General
Manocal first visited Jose Miguel
Gomez and others of the alleged con-
spirators in the prison and found them
willing to cooperate in securing peace,
The basis of peace was not diseased
in any detail, but Secretary Montalvo
returned to the palace and urged Pres
ident Palma to consider the matter.
The result of this conference was
the issuance of the decree suspending
government operations.
Andrade Discusses Terms
General Freyre Andrade, when asked
about the terms discussed at the con-
ference, said that the matter had not
got far enough along to discuss actual
peace terms. The conferees had only
touched them informally, he declared,
but one thing was certain, that the
government would never agree to an
rual elections, and that contention
must be eliminated from the claims of
the revolutionists.
The general said that the govern
ment appreciated the friendly efforts
of the United States, and would avail
itself of them if it's own efforts were
unsuccessful. but that naturally it pre-
ferred to settle the trouble without
Intervention.
Since the publication of President
Roosevelt's letter here it has been ex.
pected that the United States would be
strong factor in arranging for Cuba
some better form of government and
reduction in tariffs which would
bring the cost of living TO a reason.

Robt. Mcmahon, Grand Forks
Young Man, Drowned in
Mouse River.

Mrs. Mary Mcmahon of University
avenue, received word from Minot last
evening of the death of a cousin,
Robert Mcmahon, by drowning on Sun
day afternoon at a point where the
west 800" bridge spans the Mouse
river in the city limits of Minot. The
young man was bathing at the time
with number of friends and one of
these, while endeavoring to bring about
rescue, had a narrow escape from
being drowned also and was only saved
after desperate struggle.
Robert Mcmahon was Fl years OF
age and had been employed in F. Van
Housen's livery barn at Minot, to
which place he went from Grand
Forks last fall. He was a young man
of excellent character. His parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Patrick Mcmahon reside
about four miles from Ardoch and an
uncle. James Mcmahon about mile
from the same place. They have been
notified of Roberts death and the re-
mains when recovered will be shipped

some time.

CHECK FORGERY WAS
VERY CLEvERlY
DONE
M. Stanchfield Has Name Put
on Check by Stranger
Police Investigating.

A clever forgery was perpetrated on
NJ. Stanchfield Saturday evening,
though he fortunately did not lose the
money. During the early evening
barber by the name OF Cherline pre-
scented a check for 81. TO the ]. B.
Busch saloon on Minnesota point.
which purported to have been executed
to Charles Anderson by NJ. Stanch-
field the clothier. Busch looked at
the signature which so resembled that
of Stanchfield that 1t would be difficult
to detect and as he also knew Cher
line, took the check without question.
This morning he discovered that Cher
line had not endorsed it and he at
once became suspicious. He inquired
of Stanchtield as to whether or not
he had issued such check and was
informed that he had not. The check
was drawn on the Union National
bank of this city and the blank used
had the blank date 1S9-. which was
cancelled and the date 1906 written
above. The date was July {. and the
check number 236. Anderson had en-
dorsed it on the back and the name
there and in the body of the check
were almost exactly alike. Mr.. Stanch-
field has never kept any account at
the Union National bank and has
never had bank book from that in
stitution.
Cherline could not be found today
and nothing could be learned as to
who Anderson was or how the former
came in possession of the same.
